Of course, he's going to be surrounded by Ravens because it's on their sideline but the refs could not assume punches were/weren't thrown. I guarantee you that you and others would be saying the total opposite if this was reversed and it happened with a Ravens OL on our sideline. You would not want a referee to assume Bengals players took a shot when the ref was yards away and couldn't see everything.

Bengals got away with lots of holding if we're talking objectivity. Hell, 2X Bengals defenders were standing over and taunting Ravens players after a tackle and there were no calls. Definite miss on Burrow facemask.

Well, like I said, I wouldn't have cared if JC got the flag, or the Ravens did. Someone was guilty of something that play. You're also ignoring the shove of Chase by Smith well after the play.

As to the rest, I'm not arguing about the other calls/no calls, because that stuff can go either way against either team on most any play. I said as much with my opening sentence. I wasn't complaining about the holds, push offs, etc. The officials did a poor job controlling the game by not calling egregious personal foul penalties. Fortunately, we have some smart players, or the retaliation gets us the penalty and starts all of the BS like we had with the Stoolers. THAT'S my only gripe, and I think it's warranted.
