And it WAS NOT forward motion, because he went backwards on his own, without being pushed by the Colts' defender.
But Reich was in between a rock and a hard place though, in regard to challenging it ........ a challenge would have stopped the clock, and if the call was not overturned, that time-stoppage would have helped the Bengals a lot (in terms of preserving time on the clock.)

That happened with less than 2 minutes to play so that would have been an automatic booth review. Or has that changed?
