The shove to Chase, the facemask on Burrow, and the whole weird sequence involving Carman, however are just flat out shitty no calls. I don't even care if Carman got flagged on his deal, but SOMEONE was guilty of something on that play. Poorly officiated game.
You're assuming alot in a melee where the refs couldn't even see what was going on with JC.All I know is JC driving his man across the field into their sideline. 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.
