Good to know, NFL.
Not so fast.
They make the call, then Ben doesn't get hurt 4 plays later. Cincinnati would've gotten the ball at the 10 and probably would've scored shortly after. But as it played out, they scored 7 plays later anyway PLUS they knocked Ben from the game. Looks to me like Cincinnati actually benefitted more by the missed call on Shazier than it hurt them.
