This has been a draining season for Cincinnati Bengals fans with the amount of brutal losses stacking up more and more.
In yet another shootout with the Baltimore Ravens, the Bengals fall just short in two winnable games, falling to 4-6 on the season.
The Bengals had a chance to tie it up and send it to overtime, but Zac Taylor went all in and looked to win the game with a two-point conversion.
Burrow tried to get it to Tanner Hudson to win the game, but the pass was broken up, giving the Ravens the win.
But that two-point conversion involved quite a bit, starting with two obvious missed calls.
The NFL continues to show they have no care for Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

It is clear the NFL has no respect for Joe Burrow and the Bengals after a clear shot to the quarterback’s facemask was not flagged.
This has been a consistent penalty in the NFL the past few seasons, but the officiating crew completely ignored it for some reason.
On the exact same play, Mike Gesicki was clearly held by multiple defenders and no flag was thrown there either.
The holding was away from the play, but the hit on Burrow was a clear and obvious call.
I am not going to sit here and say the Bengals win the game if the flag is thrown, but Burrow and the offense would have had another chance to do it with the ball on the 1-yard line.
Every single fan has every right to be upset and angry with how this season has gone, and tonight seems to sum up the season’s progress so far.
Brutal.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, this was never about controlling a game. This was never about gambling, even though the conspiracies regarding the NFL
