Why Isaiah Likely fumble out of end zone turned touchdown into touchback for Ravens

So close.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely was just inches from crossing the goal line for a touchdown on Thursday night.

But then the football was knocked loose.

And not only did the ball come out, but it went out the back of the end zone.

It wasn't just not a touchdown.

It was a touchback.

The Bengals got the ball at their own 20, and the Ravens ended a promising drive with no points.

FROM NEAR TD TO A TOUCHBACK 😳

WHAT A PLAY FOR THE BENGALS
