The Bengals had 2 chances to win the game with an xp and fg and on both occasions he blew the snap and caused a miss (or block in one situation) Not his main job and fair play to him for filling in there but for someone who mainly plays special teams that was a bad day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it won’t impact his future too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as they said Wilcox is snapping, I told her the Steelers are all set up. At least he didn't fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened when FSU blocked the LSU XP. Basic rule is to always protect the inside gap because it’s the shorter path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
