The NFL avoided disaster during the Cincinnati Bengals’ win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4.
In the fourth quarter, Andy Dalton tossed a touchdown to A.J. Green that got called back due to a flag on right tackle Bobby Hart.
Fast forward to this week, the NFL admits it got the call wrong (3:15 mark):
Officials called illegial use of hands by Hart, whereas the video says it wasn’t intentional and should not have drawn a flag.
The NFL gets an all-time lucky break here — the Bengals ended up winning the game anyway. Had they not, this would be a much, much bigger part of the national conversation right now.
