Game clinching play.
Bengals up 24-17 on the niners. Niners are 4th and goal, at the 4, with 3 seconds left. This is the game. The niners line up in the gun, 3 wide (kittle in the slot, deebo in the backfield to the left with McCaffrey to the right). This play has been money all year, like this tush push with deebo behind Trent Williams. Mike Hilton is over kittle, but instead of covering him, Wilson fades over to run with kittle who runs a 5 yard out. Purdy fakes the inside handoff to deebo and mccaffery releases to the right for a dump off, with Hilton seemingly screaming towards purdy on a db blitz, but wait, Hilton knows what’s coming and slows up and opens his hips. As purdy lofts it “over” Hilton, Hilton is now in a position to make a play, as purdy puts just a little loft and not enough juice. As McCaffrey is coming back for the ball, Hilton jumps up (like Jordan in space jam) and his arm just keeps extending… all breaths are being held as McCaffrey only has to make Logan Wilson miss after the catch. Mike Hilton deflects the pass, but it goes up into the air towards the goal line. McCaffrey has no chance. Kittle, who ran a 5 yard out, is coming back to the ball and gives incredible effort, but he can’t secure the catch. The ball bounces to the ground. Burrow comes out, 3 kneels, game over.
