Injury To Long Snapper Stopped Comeback Win

[kevin]

With 2 seconds left, Burrow had hit Chase in the end zone for game tying TD, and McPherson kick would have won game. However the regular snapper injured during game, and the replacement snapped the ball back slower and off time.

Then in overtime a McPherson kick would have won, but the replacement snapped it high, Huber had to reach up to grab it and never got the ball right in time for McPherson leg swing.

Later in overtime the Bengals were afraid to kick. No faith left in the replacement snapper.

So now we all know the importance of the regular long snapper, if we didn't before.
