To be fair, they are right. The ref didn't drop his blue bean bag thing till after they saw the Bengals with the ball. Then they got together and talked and awarded the ball to the Bengals. 

The replay was super close, which is why I'm not surprised the refs didn't see it. Too many bodies around the ball for them to see it right away. The call could have gone either way, but as others have said after years of being on the wrong side of these calls it sure is nice to have one bounce the Bengals way for once.
