The Cincinnati Bengals are back at Paul Brown Stadium for the first time since their long flight back from Los Angeles after losing Super Bowl LVI.
And while the team is ready to move on and begin their run to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona, there’s still talk about the previous Super Bowl, including that one controversial call against linebacker Logan Wilson.
That pass interference call that gave the Rams a fresh set of downs and ultimately led to the game-winning touchdown. While fans were understandably upset about the call, Wilson is taking the high road and understanding the officials’ side of things.
From ESPN’s Ben Baby:
Bengals LB Logan Wilson on the officiating at the end of Super Bowl LVI in some of the calls at the end of the game. "You gotta put yourselves in the referee's shoes, too." Said it's tough to make those split-second decisions on the world's biggest stage.

Deep down, Wilson is probably still stinging over this and having to relive the events, but this is a very professional response from a budding star.
