The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals' first half resembled a house of horrors injury-wise as Mark Andrews (ankle, later ruled out), Lamar Jackson (ankle, returned to the game), and Joe Burrow (wrist questionable) were all injured.

After the Ravens' Gus Edwards scored the game's opening touchdown, it was back-and-fourth as both teams tried to get their offenses going. 

Baltimore thought Zay Flowers had broken away for a touchdown, only for it to be called back by a soft holding call on Odell Beckham Jr., but when Nelson Agholor latched onto a tipped pass and raced towards the end zone, again, a flag was on the field.

But this time, it was against the defense, and the touchdown stood.

Facing a third-and-6 with just over two minutes to go, the Ravens knew that with Burrow on the sidelines, getting points by any means necessary was crucial.

Well, Agholor latched onto a Lamar Jackson pass that was tipped by Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt as he raced away for a 37-yard touchdown to give the Ravens the lead.

It was Agholor's third touchdown of the season and his second against the Bengals, as he caught five passes for 63 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 Week 2 win.

In Agholor's last four games, the veteran receiver has totaled just two receptions for 14 yards as he has been on the outside looking in. 

But in the NFL, it might not be your match, but it can be your moment, and when Agholor latched onto that tipped pass, it was his moment, and despite it being lucky, he made it count.
