Ravens commit intentional holding, run out clock

Leading by a touchdown with the clock winding down, the Baltimore Ravens successfully ran out the game's final 11 seconds on fourth down by intentionally committing holding penalties against all nine Cincinnati Bengals players who rushed their punter, giving Sam Koch the time to dance around the end zone before finally conceding a safety.

"I tried to mention that was the best safety ever taken and what I meant was it was the best-executed safety ever because we kept him clean the whole time," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after his team's 19-15 win.
