OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale expressed anger when the Cincinnati Bengals kicked a late field goal to avoid a shutout in Baltimore's 27-3 victory.
With Cincinnati trailing 27-0, Bengals coach Zac Taylor chose to kick a 38-yard field goal with 37 seconds left in the game. It marked only the fifth time since the 1970 merger that a team kicked a field goal in the final minute to avoid a shutout, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Asked for his reaction when the Bengals kicked the field goal, Martindale said Thursday, "He knew what it was because it was awful quiet when I yelled it across the field.
