Controversy overshadowed a thrilling finish in Baltimore on Sunday, with the Colts scoring a 22-19 overtime victory over the Ravens. But a potential missed call is what caught the attention of most people.

Facing a 4th-and-3 in overtime, Baltimore elected to put the ball in the hands of Lamar Jackson in hopes of converting a first down. A pass to Zay Flowers over the middle was available, but Indianapolis’ E.J. Speed was able to break up the pass.

It appeared that Speed might’ve gotten there a little early, though. Here’s the clip of that pivotal no-call in overtime of Sunday’s game.

Because of the incompletion, the Colts took possession at their own 47 yard-line with 3:21 to play. They then picked up 18 yards on five plays and settled for a Matt Gay field goal from 53 yards out to win the game.

It was one of the wilder Week 3 games of the NFL schedule, one with a controversial ending. And folks in Baltimore probably won’t be too pleased with the officiating crew for a few days.

We’re guessing Indianapolis doesn’t see any problems with the call, though.
