Might not seem like much looking back but that was a tough catch with a guy all over his back. That was a game changing play. How many times have we seen the Bengals have a decent start to a drive early in a game, to just barely miss a 3rd down conversion and it results in us playing from behind the next time we touch the ball?
If he misses that, and nobody would have blamed him for it, we punt instead of eating clock and getting TD and momentum early. Huber is punting so it probably only goes 30 yards or so. Carolina is feeling good and set up with decent field position. Who knows what happens at that point. Little plays like that can have a huge impact. People may say I’m crazy but I think that was the single most important play in the game last week.
Thought the same thing when he caught that and moved the chains! Especially given how low their confidence was. They needed that start and that was a huge play to make it possible.

Burrow then had to drift away from pressure and at the last minute find Hurst who was like you say blanketed. That was a great play and soooo important.
