Reviewed by who? And if they had a choice why in the world wouldn't they challenge it?

What do you mean reviewed by who? The same officials perform the review whether it's initiated by the officials themselves, or by a HC.

Look at it this way- if a play is ruled a turnover or TD on the field, it's automatically subject to review. These plays can't be "challenged" by either team (since they're already subject to review).

If a play is not ruled a TD or turnover, and one of the team's think it should be reviewed, they have to "challenge" the ruling.

As far as why the Bengals didn't challenge the non-catch...that would be a question for Lewis. Guessing he thought the call would stand.

My understanding is teams are supposed to have assistant coaches up in the booth that watch these TV replays and call down and alert the coaches on the sideline when they should challenge something. I know we have that. I assumed the Bengals do too.
