That's kind of the point. If Dunlap does what everyone expects him to, then the play likely works. It was 4th and a foot and the Bengals had it blocked perfectly on the outside. If he gets by Dunlap and it's not a TD, it's at least a first down.
Literally, only one guy had a chance to stop him short of a first down and it took a play that very few would even be there to make.
The line between everyone saying "what a fantastic call" and "holey shit, what a terrible call" is razor thin.
