The Baltimore Ravens had their season come to an end in wild fashion Sunday night as a 98-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Cincinnati’s Sam Hubbard in the fourth quarter was the difference in the Bengals’ 24-17 victory at home.
The Ravens were playing without their star QB, Lamar Jackson, who was still out with a knee injury. Tyler Huntley had a good game at QB but his fumble on that ridiculous play by Hubbard will long be remembered by Baltimore fans because it seemed like the Ravens were about to take the lead at that moment and possibly pull off the huge upset.
Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins was not happy at all after the game about the play call and he went off on his coaches saying that he should have been the one to get the ball on that play. He also said the Ravens would have won if they had Lamar Jackson:
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins on Tyler Huntley's goal-line fumble: "He should have never been in that situation. I don’t get a single carry. I didn’t get a single carry. He should never have been in that situation. I believe I would have put it in the end zone, again.”

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins said he feels like he should have “been the guy” and feels like he’s being held back
“If we had Lamar, we would have won, too,” Dobbins added.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins, who 62 yards on 13 carries: “I should be the guy. I’m tired of holding that back. I’m tired of that. Twelve [carries], it’s the playoffs. I’m tired of holding that back. Let’s go win the game. I’m tired of that."

Dobbins also retweeted this tweet after the game:
J.K. Dobbins is one of the NFL’s best red-zone running backs. He didn’t get a carry inside the 5 tonight.
