Zay Flowers is going to want to forget about his team’s drive that covered the late third quarter and early fourth quarter of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, but at least he has a division rival on his side.
The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver hauled in a long catch to finally generate some offense for his side against the Kansas City Chiefs, but his ensuing taunting penalty cost 15 yards after the play.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wouldn’t have called it:

BIG PLAY ZAY.

The penalty was just the start of Flowers’ concerns on the drive.
He also made another catch and dove for the end zone just for the Chiefs to knock the ball loose for a massive fumble:

Just like that, Kansas City was still up 10 with the ball and an opportunity to create an even larger deficit for the Ravens and Flowers.
