I don't have an issue with going for two points when your defense has let the Ravens go down the field and score on four straight possessions as the issue was the officials not doing their job.

Yeah between those and the really obvious missed one on Darnold 2 weeks ago, it's like the league is telling defensive lineman...don't tackle the QB, hit him in the facemask...he'll grab on and give it a tug if you like. We won't call it.
Bengals D couldn't get a stop at the end and the prospect of going 40 yards with 2 timeouts is not daunting for Baltimore.
Bengals still only need to go 5-2 to get to 9-8. They have Pittsburgh twice, Cleveland, Chargers, Denver, Dallas, and Tennessee left. If they split with Pittsburgh they should pull it off. Especially if they beat Denver head to head. Burrow as a 7 seed will scare someone.
