Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard made NFL history when he returned a fumble 98 yards for a touchdown and gave his team the lead against the Baltimore Bengals in their wild-card matchup.
Hubbard’s touchdown helped put Cincinnati up 24-17 and the Bengals would win by that score.
But NFL fans wondered whether officials missed an illegal block in the back as Ravens tight end Mark Andrews tried to track Hubbard down. Andrews made a valiant effort to try to tackle Hubbard but couldn’t do it as Markus Bailey moved him out of the way.
It appeared Bailey may have side-blocked Andrews but some fans were looking for a penalty.
Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was rolling in the fourth quarter before his fumble. He had a touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson to tie the game at 17 and appeared to be getting ready to give his team the lead after a 25-yard run that got the team to within 2 yards of a touchdown.
