NFL Conspiracy Theorists Think One Fishy Play From Bengals-Ravens Has Exposed The Entire League For Blatantly “Rigging” Games [VIDEO]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

An NFL conspiracy theory surfaced online during the final Thanksgiving Day fixture on the schedule. Thursday’s Bengals-Ravens game closed things out after the Packers beat the Lions and the Chiefs lost to the Cowboys.
The Bengals pulled off an upset away from home, forcing five turnovers on the night, one of which took place near the end zone after Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely made a catch and appeared to be bound for a touchdown but fumbled before crossing the line.
One fan suggested that this was all planned, given that this has happened several times this season.
Check out the explanation below:

Whatever the case was, the Bengals will savor the win, especially given that it highlighted Joe Burrow’s return after a nine-game injury layoff.
