It's 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:06.199 the greatest thing since road tripping. Bengals fans, they say 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.800 you can see just about anything on Bourbon Street in 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.559 New Orleans. Many of those things not meant for younger eyes. 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.120 But the primary thing I saw on Saturday night were 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:20.720 Bengals fans, hundreds of them, maybe thousands. And if I 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.800 would have accepted every offer for a free beer, I 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.640 would have looked like Nicholas Cage in leaving Las Vegas. 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.360 Many people travel to New Orleans to paint the town red. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.640 This weekend, the Big Easy was painted orange and black. 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.679 Now let's get to the radio replays from the Bengals 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.400 third win in a row inside the Superdome. Here comes 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.040 the punt. Good looking punt tailor back pedaling and he 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.000 will start from the eight yard line, straight ahead to 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.320 the fifty to twenty sideline. Twenty five fumbles the ball 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.240 and the Saint Street cover at the Bengals thirty two 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.480 yard lines. Dalkon ready for the shotgun snap. Andy drops 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.520 back five steps, throws it has caught at the three. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.880 It's a touchdown. Trey Kuan Smith cutting toward the goalpost 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.880 to make the catch and the Saints are on the scoreboard. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.480 First third and goal from the nine. Joe back to throw, 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.919 pump fakes, throw short, get it by mixing at the five, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:19.680 charges into the end zone, touchdown, Bengals a nine yard 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.760 strike on third down and goal and the Bengals are 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.600 a pat away from tying the game. Dalton is under center, 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.520 Alvin Kamara back in at running back receiver goes in 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.040 jet motion. They give it to him. Nobody is there 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:38.680 for cincinnt Shaheed to the twenty fifteen ten five touchdown. Wow, 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.800 single high safety blitz coming. Burrow trying to step away 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.519 from the rush. He does it runs up the middle 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.399 of the field of the ten five touchdown. As Joe 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.320 Burrow crosses the goal line with the ball in his 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.640 left hand fully extended, goes into the back corner of 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.840 the end zone and spins it like he's rolling dice. 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.320 There is nobody. No body from the middle of the 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.280 football field to the left sideline, I mean everybody is. 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.680 It's like the fuel was tilted to its right and 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.880 Joe Burrow rant left. All buy is lonesome. Burrow catches, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:18.239 looks fire, Chase touchdown, ran a skinny post. Burrow threw 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:23.000 a bullet right on the money. Chase does the gritty Huber, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.679 extends the hands, catches, puts the ball down. The kick 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.440 is on its way and it is good. Yeah. As 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.560 the Bengals pull within two with three minutes and forty 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.200 one seconds to go. If you include the playoffs, Evan 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:42.960 McPherson is a ridiculous sixteen of eighteen on kicks of 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:47.520 fifty plus yards. Dalton looks over the defense, catches the 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.200 shotgun snap. He's straight back to throw its hit from behind. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.680 The ball is incomplete. The Bengals will scoop it up 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.800 and run it back, but it's an incomplete pass. Trey 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.920 Hendrickson got to the arm of Andy Dalton and the 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.760 Saints will have to punt it away, burrowing the gun. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.160 Mixing to his left. Joe drops back to throw his pass, 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.840 caught by Chase at the fifty runs through an arm 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.600 Tag down the side. Baby, he's gonna take it to 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:17.360 the house. Jamar Chase a sixty yard touchdown and the 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:24.279 Bengals have the lead with one fifty seven to go. Unbelievable. 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.520 Dalton ready for the shotgun snap thirty three seconds to go. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.920 He's back to pass. He's gonna fling it high and 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.200 deep down the sideline. It is knocked away out of bounds. 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.560 No penalty flag down? Was that Dax Hill sprinting over 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.960 to knocked that out of bounds. The Bengals rookie running 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.520 toward the sideline and getting a hand on it, and 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:51.920 that is Coffin nail Bam. The final score Cincinnati thirty, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.280 New Orleans twenty six. For the past forty eight years, 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.000 the Superdome has been the site of many of America's 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.360 biggest sporting events, including seven Super Bowls, five final fours, 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:07.599 Muhammad Ali's last professional win, and numerous college football games 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.919 that have decided the national championship, including a game in 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.800 January of twenty twenty that featured one of the most 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:19.320 memorable performances in college football history, as Joe Burrow through 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.960 for four hundred sixty three yards and five touchdowns and 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.560 ran for fifty eight yards in another score in LSU's 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.359 forty two to twenty five win over Clemson. His favorite 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.440 target in that game was Jamar Chase, who caught nine 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.799 passes for two hundred twenty one yards and two t d's. 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.239 So it was certainly fitting on Sunday that Burrow walked 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.840 into the Superdome wearing the jersey that Jamar wore in 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.080 that game. Rarely do games follow the Hollywood script, but 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.479 this one did to a t as burrow sixty yard 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.360 touchdown pass to Chase won the game with less than 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.440 two minutes to go. Dave Lapham caught up with Burrow 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:02.520 in the locker room. Joe second half eleven for twelve, 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.599 one hundred and seventy nine yards to touchdowns. What happened 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.920 on the incompletion? Just kidding? I mean today it was 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.240 just a great day. We had to fight back from 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.560 adversity all day. Defense got to stop when we needed to. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.599 Offensive line played great. You know, we got the ball 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.800 out quickly. Receiver has played great. We're gonna build off 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.479 of this win and keep it going. You wore at 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.640 Jamar Chase's LSU jersey. It's almost like a precursor to 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.320 what was gonna take place. You and Jamar hook up 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.840 for I think seven catches. He had one hundred and 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.599 thirty five yards, a couple of touchdowns. Your numbers were staggering. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.000 What is it about New Orleans and you guys, I 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.640 don't know. It's something about this state that just you know, 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.719 brings the best out of us. Great fans. You know, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.400 it's great to come back and he's you know, experienced 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.719 the atmosphere of a football game in Louisiana. This a 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.240 great day for us. What about your legs on the scramble. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.960 I mean, I've never seen like two thirds of the 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.440 football field cleared out and left side you and Hurst 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.560 on a little drag and it took the only defender 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.160 or what I mean from the right hash mark to 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:08.000 the left sideline. It was like unbelievable. Yeah, they brought 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.520 a saw pressure. It was a it was a you know, 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.400 a tough pressure look. And Elsie was able to get 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.680 out to the nickel blitzing late took it took enough 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.080 off of his I could stop up and that go 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.920 make a play. So your red zone offense was unbelievable. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.280 Every time you get in the red zone, you score 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.040 a touchdown. They got in the red zone four times, 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.880 had to settle for four field goals. That was a 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.200 ball game, wasn't it. That's the ball game. You know 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.000 if you if you get down there and score score touchdowns, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.760 you're usually gonna be able to pull out a W. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.280 And if your defense holds into field goals, that's a 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:42.360 recipe for success. No turnovers by the offense, no takeaways 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.040 by the defense, but to turnover unfortunately on special teams, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.679 so your minus won and when you get behind because 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.080 of that turnover, it just seemed like it took a while. 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.240 You know, I mean, getting behind by a touchdown on 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.200 the road is a tough deal, isn't it. Yeah, they're 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.840 a good defense, They're really good defense, and so you know, 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.640 we mean a second half, we're able to turn it on. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.640 You gotta give credits to them in our first quarter, 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.440 but I think second quarter on we were lights out. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.080 You were lights out the whole game, Joe Burrow Man, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.920 I'll tell you, when you have to ros to the occasion, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.720 you rise above the occasion. Man, appreciate it. Arrow completed 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.920 seventy six percent of his passes and through for exactly 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.680 three hundred yards, with three touchdowns, no picks, a passer 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.840 rating of one twenty six, and a touchdown run. For 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.960 good measure, He's accounted for ten touchdowns the last two 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.800 times he's played in the Superdome. Jamar Chase finished with 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.080 seven catches for one hundred and thirty two yards and 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:38.720 two tds, and I spent a couple of minutes with him, Jamark, 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.440 can you describe just how meaningful it was for you 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.520 to have the kind of game you did today and 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.800 score the game winning touchdown with less than two minutes 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.040 to go was a good opportunity to play back at home, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.960 playing for to my family and fans and just put 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.199 on a show. So when that pass comes your way, 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.280 I think most of us are thinking, all right, that's 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.400 eight to twelve yards in a first down. You turned 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.120 it into a six styard house called describe it just 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.640 making somebody missing, you know, getting a lot of space 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.680 on the field is just feel recognition of me and 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.520 just you know, making a play on my feet and 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.400 being a playmaker. What did Joe Burrow walking into the 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.240 stadium wearing your national championship jersey? Meaning today they gave 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.520 us the energy as a as an offense, the end 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.960 to me and to him, I felt like, just coming 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.720 into this game, you know, we had to make a 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.320 statement on who we are and where we need to 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.360 get back to. Did he request to wear it? Yes? 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.520 He did. Yeah, when did that happen? Um? Day before 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.440 we left, you know he texts. Actually the night before 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.040 we left, he texts my phone was like do you 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.679 have any jersey? And the day we was leaving, you know, 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.559 he I say, yeah, you know I had to take 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.480 it off my wall, but yeah, yeah I found up 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.440 the day Were you surprised What was your reaction? Um No, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:48.840 I wasn't. I just didn't know what he was gonna 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.400 do it. I wasn't too surprised. I just ain't know 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.559 what he's gonna do it seven catches for you, six 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.600 for te six for Tyler. That the kind of way 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.320 it's supposed to look. That's how it needs to be. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.720 God damn, I didn't know that. I wish i'd told 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:05.280 me that there. Well, what was what was uh? TB stats? 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.440 What was TB? They both had six catches for about 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.760 sixty some yards and you had seven for like a 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.480 buck thirty. I'm bad. It's not bad. Actually I need that. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.120 So you guys were kind of swimming uphill all day. 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.160 The Saints were up by ten, they were up by nine, 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.880 then they're up by five. How does it feel when 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.679 you're able to overcome all of that and win? It 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.560 felt good, man. Just you know, we was gonna dog 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.440 fight the whole game, and you know we had We 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.520 knew he was gonna be in a dog fighting. You know, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.200 we we came out hand and and fought and the 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.800 music was pumping. Everybody was psyched in here as this 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.760 kind of a big emotional lift considering you have three 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.560 losses that ended on field goals by the other team. No, 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.480 we can't were about that right there. We gotta we 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.760 gotta get on this run and execute and you know 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.080 be offense that we know we are. So we gotta 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.240 put those losses behind us. And where about this win 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.120 we have and next week coming up? Any contact after 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.040 the game with the many friends and family that we're 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.800 in the stands about to go to them right now, 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.839 I'm gotta go right now, So I need to you go, sir. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.920 That's tomar Chase. I also spoke to Joe Mixon after 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.200 the game. Before we get to that, here's a reminder 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.600 that the Bengals Booth podcast is brought to you by 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.640 pay Corps.

He 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:34.360 also caught four passes, including his first TD catch this year. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.480 We are in the locker room with Joe Mixon. The 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.040 music is pumping. Everybody's got a big grin. Describe the 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.600 satisfaction of coming from behind all day and ultimately winning 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.959 this game. Yeah. Man, you know when a defense I 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.160 needed to step up. They made a hell of a 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.800 stop our offense. We knew a week went out there again, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.480 we knew we was gonna come through and deliver, and 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.960 we we delivered in a measure way. You know, I'm 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.760 very excited for you know, the guys. We came through 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.600 and most importantly bring home to win. So as long 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.880 as we keep on building, you know, taking it one 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.600 day at a time and you know, keep dishing off 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.720 of what the defense gives us, I think will be 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.199 a hell of a football team, especially playing complimentary football 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.080 with the run in the past and keeping the defense 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.520 balance or you know, us being balanced and keeping the 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.520 defense honest. Homecomings are special. How cool was it to 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.640 see Jamar half the game he had and the game 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.720 winning touchdown on that sixty yard play with less than 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.679 two minutes to go. Yeah, man, I was a hell 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.040 of a play. He came through and deliver. I remember, 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.040 you know, talking to him on a sideline like broth, 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.880 like it's gonna come. I'm telling you, like and literally 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.640 everything I said happened. I was like, broth you get 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.160 a first down, I'm like, bro flex like show ya, grill, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.280 do your name, bro, Like this shit gonna come to you. 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.360 And he was like all right, like and I'm lik 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.400 And after that, I'm like, the big one gonna come. 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.520 And literally that's exactly what happened. He got a big, 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.640 crucial first down for about like I want to say, 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.240 like eighteen yards or thirteen and all of a sad 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.719 and he ended up coming with a big one. So 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:03.720 I thought he did a hell of a job, you know, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.840 staying focus and me trying to keep him on his game, 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.880 and uh, when when we needed the most, he delivered. So, 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.880 like I said, it's a great feeling, man, and I'm 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.360 happy for him. What kinds of things are being set 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.120 on the sideline when you guys work down by ten, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.000 down by nine, had to keep trying to come back. Um, 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.439 you know, just don't flinch, keep on going, you know 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.600 what I'm saying. We were in the game and we 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.160 ain't gonna never give up on each other, you know 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.080 what I'm saying. So everybody stayed true to the game plan. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.040 Everybody was executing most importantly, and um, like I said, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.040 we can't through and deliver. So it's a great feeling. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.640 You know, the uh steal one from away team and 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.040 you know, take one to the crib. So we're gonna 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.520 enjoy this win, get back to work on Monday, and 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.880 uh get ready for Atlema. There always a lot of 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.600 heroes in a win. Dax Hill winds up making the 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.360 final play defensively, kind of his first big play as 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.800 a rookie. Yeah, he Uh, his time gonna come. He's 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.440 been patient. Um, he's been you know, doing all the 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.640 things that he needs to do as a rookie. And 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.679 you know, I'm excited for him. I'm glad you made 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.480 that played. I was huge for him, and like I said, man, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.160 I'm just happy that we came came out with the victory. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.439 Here's one more one on one interview as Laps spend 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.760 two and a half minutes with Zach Taylor after the win. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.760 I'm really proud of these guys for just hanging in 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.600 because I would say that it felt like they had 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.480 a lot of momentum for big corse of the game 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.760 when they were chewing up the clock in their possessions. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.680 It wasn't so much touch scorn touchdown as it was 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.080 just the time of possession felt like it was getting 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.680 away from us, especially there at the end of the 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.240 half at the beginning of the third quarter. Soever guys, 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.880 just to show that kind of resiliency, our depth had 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.760 to step up, because we had some guys go down 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.880 to that game, and everyone did and found a way 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.600 to get us a win. Like you said, you start thinking, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.440 for how many possessions do we have? The way they 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.520 were taking seven and a half minutes on every possession, 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.640 and you guys scored so quickly. I mean, it was amazing. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.160 Or even stepped up on that last drive and got 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.240 that second to last drive. We got that stop because 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.120 that was the battle you were fighting. When we kicked 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.640 to the field goal to go down two, I think 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.920 it was that was the challenge, right there was how 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.720 much time were we going to have left? Because they 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.120 were doing a good job taking up the clock, and 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.800 even though we weren't getting them up points necessary in 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.320 every drive, it was you know, there was a it 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.480 was a possession battle there. So unfortunately even stepped up 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.080 and made a tough kick, and then our defense made 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.400 a stop and got us the ball back and we 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.280 were able to score. But we needed o guys to 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.840 step up in those last moments, and they did. Joe 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.120 in the second half coach eleven for twelve one hundred 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.720 and seventy nine yards and two touchdowns. I was kidding 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.280 them when we talked earlier what happened on the incompletion. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.560 I mean, that's just unbelievable. Yeah, I got to think 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.240 through what the incompletion was, you know, but you know, 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.280 he just really got hot and you could feel it. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.680 Once we kind of got into the rhythm of the 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.200 game and felt like we had a good understanding the 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.200 structure they were playing. They made some adjustments and they 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.640 made things challenging for us. But those were the moments 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.040 our guys stepped up. Maybe when the play call wasn't perfect, 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.720 Joe found a way to find guys that had the 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.200 best matchups, and those guys stepped up and made plays. 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:58.080 What is it about LSU and you know New Orleans 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.520 and I mean chasing Bar When they get on that stage, 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.160 they're stars, There's no doubt about it. You know, when 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.960 these moments get big, we need our big, our big 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.240 time players to step up, and that's what they did today, 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.360 and you just got to continue to give them opportunities 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.840 to do that, and I thought today we did and 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.000 they took advantage of it, and you know, so it's 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.760 it's a proud of those guys the way they stepped 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.040 up and helped us win this game. Coach, congratulations, big win. 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.720 This is one of those kind of victories that you 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.320 know as you prepare to go one and all again 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.520 next week. It's a good way to start the week. Yeah, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.920 we needed this momentum going into a home game next 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:36.320 week against Atlanta. I think it's Atlanta. Yes, I'm not sure. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.560 I hear you. It's gonna be an easy flight, nice 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:44.640 flight home, isn't it. Yeah, Yes, Atlanta is up next. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.120 The Falcons are three and three after a fourteen point 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:52.440 win over San Francisco. Cincinnati is a very early six 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.160 and a half point favorite.

Now, time for the radio guys recap lap. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.679 Lou Anarrumo says, all the time, don't ask me about yards, 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:21.719 ask me about points. The Bengals defense bent but didn't break, 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.080 and that helped the offense come back and win the game. 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.080 It was the ultimate of it. You know, on four 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.760 possessions in the red zone, you're talking about an offense 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.240 that have converted eighty percent of the time touchdowns going 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.399 into the game, second best in the league. And to 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.320 hold them four times with just a field goal, that 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.960 was the game. As it turned out, that was the 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.600 probably most significant single thing that you could point to 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.320 and say that kind of swung the football game In retrospect? 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.159 Was there anything more predictable than Jamaar Chase would come 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.280 back to this place and do something spectacular? He and Borrow, 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:57.720 I mean it's like New Orleans, Louisiana Special Stage. They 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.480 step up big. I mean they're bigger than big, those 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.120 two are. It's just it's just remarkable. And I think 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.800 it started with Joe Warren Jamar's jersey. You know, it's 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.040 kind of the Calmer started. It was kind of like 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.919 a precursor of things to come, and U and the 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.280 two of them just hooked up again. I mean, Borrows 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.640 just thinks he sees and the way he sees him 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.200 and Jamar's just a grown man. There's no two ways 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.760 about that. They had balanced today. I mean, obviously in 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.120 terms of passing and running. It was heavily tilted toward passing, 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:32.080 but balanced in the sense that Chase, Higgins and Boyd 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.240 were all pretty similar in terms of targets in production. Yeah, 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.679 for the two of them to have six catches, you know, 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.280 meaning Boyd and Higgins and then Chase having seven, that's 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:48.760 a good sign. Plus, I mean, the game itself is 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:52.560 it unfolded. The Bengals felt like they couldn't run the 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.480 ball that much. They ranted efficiently. They only ran it 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.119 fifteen times, but average almost six yards to carry. So 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.440 it wasn't like they weren't, you know, getting good things 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.320 out of the running game, which I think is another 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.280 good sign. A couple of weeks in a row, I 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.520 think there are you know, holes for Joe Mixon to 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.680 take advantage of and get past the line of scrimmage 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.800 with some authority. So I think that's all trending in 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.240 a in a good direction as well. But you're right, 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.960 I mean, it's like when the Big Three is on, 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.040 what do you do? How do you do it? I mean, 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.720 it's just like the Saints with all the running backs. 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.439 There were times out there they had three legitimate running backs. 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.600 It's like you mentioned it. During the games, it's like 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.679 watching a college football running game. Who do you? How 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.480 do you what do you defend? How do you defend it? 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.400 When you have three receivers, the talent level that these 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:38.680 guys have, how do you defend it? What do you do? 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.040 Particularly when you don't see him that often? The Saints 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.440 just don't see it that often when the Bengals don't 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.000 see the type of offense the Saints draw out there 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.360 with the Swiss Army knife hill either. I'm sure you've 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:53.040 played in games like this where you're swimming uphill all day, 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.600 you're behind. Every time you get closer, the other team 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.440 scores again, and then you manage to pull it out 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.080 in the end. What kind of emotional lifty again from 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.040 a game like that. Yeah, it's a big lift, you know. 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.120 It's like, offensively, took care of the ball, didn't turn 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.080 it over. Defensively, didn't get any takeaways. But the turnover 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.280 occurs on special team short field. You're down seven, and 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.000 then it's like to get over the hump. It takes 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:16.800
