Former Bengals star Chad Johnson joined ESPN’s ManningCast to watch his former team defeat the Jaguars, 34-31, on Monday Night Football.
But before Cincinnati pulled off the win against Jacksonville, the Bengals needed a critical defensive stop in overtime, and they benefited mightily from a holding penalty.
On third-and-seven from the Bengals’ 45, Jaguars backup quarterback C.J. Beathard scrambled to his right and launched a deep ball down the right sideline to Calvin Ridley. Despite the Beathard’s completed pass to Ridley, officials called holding on Jaguars offensive lineman Anton Harrison, negating a huge gain by Ridley and sending Jacksonville back 10 yards on its next play.
