Neil deGrasse Tyson: Earth's rotation aided Bengals' win

Of all the things going for the Bengals in their 27-24 overtime victory over the Seahawks, one thing almost nobody thought about was the direction of the Earth's rotation. ​

Well, nobody but famed astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, who performed at the Taft Theatre in Cincinnati on Tuesday.

Tyson took to Twitter after Mike Nugent's 42-yard field goal kicked off the left upright and in for the overtime victory to explain how the Coriolis effect aided Nugent and the Bengals.
