Okay, that confused me. It was obvious the spot was bad on the 3rd down catch, but a time out was called by Cinci after they thought they had a first down and they put the clock at 22 seconds. Then the officials reviewed it, called it 4th down. Why wouldn't Cincinnati then say that if they knew it was 4th they wouldn't have called the time out? Then they could run the clock after the review and Cleveland would have to use their last time out if they wanted to have a shot at the punt? As it was, because the Browns had that last time out, they were able to get one last shot at the end zone. Didn't matter, but had they gotten lightning in a bottle (yes, I know it's the Browns), it would have meant a lot.

Marsupials do....cause they're fast! Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, 5 to 4; I don't believe what I just saw! I don't believe what I just saw!
