What happened on the Bengals-Dolphins two-forced-fumbles play?
The Bengals-Dolphins sequence was unusual because the ball came loose twice on the same snap, but Miami still ended up with possession.
The play in order
The confirmed sequence went like this:
- Miami cornerback Chris Johnson knocked the ball loose from Cincinnati running back Chase Brown.
- Dolphins EDGE Chop Robinson recovered the fumble.
- Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase caught Robinson and knocked the ball free again.
- After the scramble, Miami kept possession.
So the short answer is: Cincinnati lost the ball, Miami recovered, Cincinnati forced it loose again, and Miami still came away with it.
What else happened in the game context
A separate Bengals-Dolphins highlight from NFL.com noted that Cincinnati wide receiver Dohnte Meyers opened the game with an 81-yard kickoff return. That return put the Bengals offense in Miami territory.
That kickoff return is a different play from the two-forced-fumbles sequence.
