I didn't get the chance to watch this game, but after watching the highlights a million times, it seems to be one of the best games all season.
The Bengals, usually dwarfed by the prestigious Steelers and Ravens, are leading the AFC north with a record of 6-3. the Steelers are having a terrible season with a record of 3-6, and the Ravens, after winning a super bowl last year, aren't far ahead, with a record of 4-4.
In the 4th quarter, Terence Newman, the safety for the Bengals, jumps over Ed Dickson head and picks the ball off. This starts the Bengals 4th quarter rally.
On the Same drive, Andy Dalton runs for a crucial 4th down conversion. This kept the Bengals in the game. The next Play, Andy Dalton is faced with tough pressure, & gives the ball to his only option, Giovani Bernard. Last week, Bernard had one of the best runs ever. He kept up the greatness with this run. He stumbles, than sprints to the end zone, leaving 3 Ravens on the ground behind him.
In the 4th quarter with One minute left, the Ravens pick it off. A first down or 2 would secure the win for them. The Bengals defense had none of it.
With 10 seconds left, the Bengals had the ball in their own territory, 4th & 15. Andy Dalton drops back, & with all his might, hucks the ball downfield as hard as he can. It Sails 60 yards, into a clump of people. first, it bounces off the crowd, then it bounces off a Ravens safety, Until bengals relieves AJ Green picks it out of the air for a last second tying touchdown. Probably the most exciting play of the year.

In Overtime, the Bengals cant convert after winning the coin toss, & the Ravens get a chance where if they score, they win. On third down, Joe Flacco almost gets Sacked, but runs away just in time to give a pass to Ed Dickson. This got them in field goal range & Justin Tucker hit the field goal for the win
