Fans were treated to the best Thursday night game in quite some time, and perhaps the best game of the year.

Terry McAulay felt that the Ravens had gotten away with two penalties on the play that ultimately decided the game, as Cincinnati did not recover their onside kick, and play-by-play announcer Al Michaels was not thrilled.

"Too many games end this way. They just do. You miss calls. The whole thing. It’s so frustrating to the fans. So frustrating," Michaels pleaded.
