Fair catch interference no call, worth 3 points favoring CIN.

21 points of referee calls in favor of the Bengals, plus the final drive, Sam Ehlinger came in and the Colts didn't really try to move the ball.

I thought the leverage call was legit. The phantom hold that erased a TD was utterly ridiculous.

I agree 100% that the refs seem to suck more this year than in years previous, but this wasn't like the Browns game where they stole it from us on a single play.

We had a lot of opportunities to stop them from scoring 31.

It was. Maybe it doesn't get called that much, but the replay clearly showed that Bryan had his left hand on another players shoulder while he was jumping to try to block the FG which is a penalty.

Correct.

It is similar to the leaping rule, of which the Colts and Mike Vanderjagt were the beneficiary of in a Monday Night Footballl game against the Buccaneers in October of 2013 ...... it was the right call, even if it was the first time that it was called since the Herbert Hoover administration.
