Ravens' last-second touchdown overturned in wild ending in season opener vs. Chiefs
View Date:2024-12-23 22:37:54
Football is a game of inches.
The Baltimore Ravens found out the hard way on Thursday night when a touchdown that would've helped tie or get the win on the final play of regulation was reversed after the receiver's toe barely was out of bounds.
On the final play of the game and down 27-20, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson scrambled around the 10-yard line and somehow found tight end Isaiah Likely in the back of the endzone as the clock hit zero. It appeared the touchdown made it a 27-26 game and Baltimore was thinking of going for the two-point conversion to steal a victory.
But since it was inside the final two minutes and a scoring play, the touchdown was reviewed, and it was discovered Likely's right toes were just on the out of bounds in the back of the end zone as he hauled in the pass. The officials ruled it was an incomplete pass and the Kansas City Chiefs held on for the season-opening victory in another thriller between the two AFC powerhouses.
“That’s on me," said Likely, who recorded a game-high nine catches for 111 yards, in a postgame news conference. "I gotta get both feet in. ... I take responsibility.”

Said Jackson: “I thought it was a touchdown. I still think it was a touchdown.”
