The Bengals have always been so good at blowing games, but that play is one of the least professional bits of coaching I can think of. So illogical it's unbelievable.
It worked in terms of the long snapper not throwing it over Huber's head or into the ground. Taylor might have had zero confidence in the long snapper, so he figured let him totally surprise the Steelers and snap it as if it were a practice snap. Put it on the defense to hold them, rather than put the Steelers in field goal range because of a bad snap.
But, I do wonder when Taylor realized that the long snapper was so bad. Because if he realized it earlier, then they wouldn't have kicked on third down, but gone for the touchdown. Don't they have a back up long snapper practicing? Was it only when he snapped it so bad on the field goal try that Taylor realized the problem they had with him snapping?
