It's 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:02.720 the greatest thing since New New York City Bagels. Because 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.240 of the UC football schedule, I had to fly to 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.200 New Jersey at the crack of dawn on Sunday. I 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.120 headed to the airport at five am without eating anything 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.160 and by the time I landed in Newark around eight thirty, 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.120 I was famished. So I stopped at a bagel shop 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.440 in the airport. Why is it that bagels in the 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.520 New York City area are so superior to the rest 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.520 of the world. My bagel tasted like it was right 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.000 out of the oven, and it was the size of 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.600 a truck tire. There are bagel shops in Cincinnati that 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.400 I really like, but nobody doze it. Better get it 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.399 then the bagel geniuses in the Big Apple. Now let's 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.399 get to Sunday's game. For the past few years, when 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.160 the Bengals have won the coin toss, they have deferred, 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.960 and there's a simple reason to do so. It gives 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.720 you the chance to get back to back scores without 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.320 the other team getting the ball, if you can score 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.600 at the end of the second quarter and score again 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.520 to begin in the third. But the Bengals offense has 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.200 been so anemic in the first half this year that 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.440 Ted Carriss, who joined Joe Burrow as a captain this week, 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.840 was told that if he won the toss, the Bengals 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.000 would take the ball. You know, we hadn't had the 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.280 lead yet in the whole seat in two games, so 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.440 you know that was my orders to do. I'm glad 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.560 I won the toss. Tales never fails. Here we go 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.400 and the Bengals started the game in attack mode. Is 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.800 Burrow through ten passes on an eleven play opening drive, 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.959 a four yard touchdown pass the Tyler Boyd was wiped 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.160 out by a holding penalty, but that didn't kill the drive. 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.880 Burrow drops back to throw, looking back, pedaling, stepping left, 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.360 scrambling left, still looking to throw his pass, caught at 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:47.160 the goal line. Touchdowns Saba JP Ryan God opened his 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.239 Burrow scrambled, he caught it right at the goal line 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.720 and the Bengal score. It was seven nothing Bengals before 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.520 the Jets got the ball. Here are Joe Burrow and 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.640 Lael Collins on the decision to begin the game on offense. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.720 I thought it was a good call obviously, you know 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.519 we put seven on the board on the first drive, 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.560 but if you if you go three and out, it's 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:12.880 a different conversation. So we came out aggressive and then 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.840 paid off for us. Yeah, I think we got to 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.120 take the ball every week to start the game off, 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.880 no matter what. That where we start ahead, we let 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.560 our defense you know, play with the lead all game, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.080 and I think that's how we're gonna dominate opponents for 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.440 the rest of the season. So was that Was that 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.320 a decision that kind of like everybody and the team's like, look, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.680 we went in the coin toss, let's take the football man, 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.960 let's get after it. That's the mindset that's out of two, 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.320 you know, the physical attack offense. And that's what we 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.840 did from the jump, and that's what we're gonna do 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.960 from here on up. The Jets answered with a field 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.560 goal to make it seven three, and the Bengals gave 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.560 them the ball right back first and ten Burrow wants 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.200 to throw again, his pass caught by Chase at the 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.240 forty oh He has the ball stripped away and the 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.880 Jets recover it at the forty three yard line. That 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.440 led to another field goal that made it seven six. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.080 But on Cincinnati's next drive, Jets defensive lineman John Franklin 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.720 Myers was called for unnecessary roughness for a hit on 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.600 Burrow when the Bengals otherwise would have had to punt. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.640 That proved to be an egregious mistake. Burrow back to 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.320 throw blitz coming throws over the mid caught by Tyler 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.640 Boyd two defenders sprinting down the middle of the field 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:26.840 of the twenty ten lunches for the end zone touchdown. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.240 Night singals on the final play of the corner as 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:35.560 Tyler Boyd pinballed off two defenders and took it to 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.359 the house for the score and the Bengals make the 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.000 Jets pay all out blitz running route to the middle 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.760 of the football field, Tyler Boyd says, I'm not only 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.120 gonna make the catch, I'm gonna break a tackle. I mean, 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.080 the Jets brought seven or eight, they brought the house 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.840 that gave the Bengals of fourteen to six lead at 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.200 the end of the first quarter. As Boyd finished with 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.760 four catches for one hundred five yards, the first time 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.400 he's led the team in receiving yards in the bengals 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.960 last ten games. You know, any one of us can 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.680 go off. You know, he's got to do. Our sammis 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.480 is just let My motto is always just let it come. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.640 Just let it come, you know. And when a ball 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.640 on my way and I can make the play, I'm 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.240 gonna always make it. Te Higgins also had a big 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.600 day with ninety three yards on five catches. First and 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.719 ten Bengals at the twenty five, Burrow takes a hand 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.720 off to Mixon. He's gonna fling it deep again. Tee 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.720 makes the catch. Penalty flags down as Higgins went up 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.000 and over Sauce Gardner to catch it and te Higgalmet 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.120 is now getting up. That's a helmet your helmet hit, 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.120 that's what the penalty flags for. That forty five yard 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.320 catch and fifteen yard penalty led to a short Evan 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.600 McPherson field goal that made it seventeen six, and when 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.920 the Jets got the ball back, the Bengals immediately took 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.359 it away. Hilton, coming on a slot corner blitz deep 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.960 frog down the middle of the field, intercepted by Logan 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.080 Wilson running back to the near sideline at the fifty 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.560 gets a block from Hilton at the fort he's at 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.320 the third, comes back to the twenty, louse of the 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.000 ball and there's a scramble at the twenty five. Von 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.360 Bell saying that the Bengals recovered and it looks like 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.359 Cincinnati did Trey Flowers with the recovery. It led to 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.240 another Moneymac field goal and a twenty to six lead. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.760 The Jets ended the half with a fifty two yard 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.520 field goal to make it twenty to nine. The Bengals 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.800 were in the lead for the last twenty four and 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.680 a half minutes of the half, and Burrows says, that 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.040 is a much easier way to play. That's ideal, right, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:32.960 Then you can run the ball, you can play action, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:34.880 you can run your nakeds. You're not just dropping back 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.920 every play, So those I mean, that's critical going forward 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.880 for the rest of the years. Just coming out fast, 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.680 putting points on the board, staying close. Now you're not 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.920 in two minutes the whole game, and that puts offensive 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.200 line in better positions. It makes it easier to call plays, 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.080 So that was that was critical. Any thoughts of a 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.080 Jets come back in the second half were thwarted by 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.880 Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson hips Flacco from behind. He's got his 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.120 second sack of the game. The ball came out and 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.359 the Bengals recover a strip sack b J Hill recovered 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.040 at the Jets twenty four and four plays later, the 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:15.080 lead grew to eighteen. Burrow, clapping his hands, catches the staff, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.760 pup fakes throws, caught Chase with the catch. Burrow belted 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.520 after the throw HiT's a touchdown for Cincinnati. Burrow threw 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.320 for two hundred and seventy five yards with three touchdowns, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.840 no picks, and a passer rating of one fourteen point nine. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.080 He was only sacked twice. Here's Ted Carris classic Joey 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.080 b game throne at deep shots and our receivers made 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.040 big plays. So very proud of all the guys. It 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.320 was a team effort. Obviously, our defense played great, and 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.520 you know that's just an all around team win. Greg's 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.880 Airline's fourth field goal of the game, made at twenty 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.880 seven to twelve going to the fourth quarter. The Jets 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.960 got the ball two more times and the Bengals defense 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.080 took it away. Flaco as ready extends the hands, catches 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.440 the shotgun, stacks Gregson's got a hen. The Bengals will 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.920 sack Flaco. Look like the ball came out again because 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.400 of the rush by Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson was credited with 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.880 two and a half sacks and three forced fumbles. Comes 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.960 with the game to football. I mean, it's a twenty 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.880 two man game, and you know, when you're playing football, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.760 you're playing for your brothers next to you. It's not 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.760 all about the statistics, I know they'll come. We just 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.200 play hard up front. We rushed the passer effectively, and 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.720 you know, it's just keep chopping wood. I'm not really 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.320 looking at stats and all that stuff. I mean, we 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.000 had two losses and those of the things that were 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.760 important to me, and it meant a lot that we 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.080 got this win. Since Trey doesn't like to toot his 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.120 own horn, let's hear from Logan Wilson. I just can 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.440 see it in his eyes throughout the whole week in preparation. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:43.840 It was just he was his time. He was just 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.000 dude for one of his Trey hendrickson days, and today 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.080 was that day. Appropriately, the final nail in the coffin 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.600 was provided by the Bengals defense. Sixty two seconds Tremaine, 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.760 fourth down and one for the Jets. Flacco catches the 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.559 shotgun staff he fires over the middle, let's pat it 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.920 up in the air, is intercepted, and that for the 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:11.760 first time this year is coffin DALs. I am Jesse 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.680 Bass with the i NTE. The final score twenty seven 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.040 to twelve. Once again, here's Ted Carriss. So you get 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.760 the taste of victory. Man, It's all we worked for. 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.880 It's a culmination of a lot of hard work, um, 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.240 a lot of just a lot of guys making plays today. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.880 I thought we handled the game plan the right way 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.920 and we got a quick turnaround here, and you know, 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.520 we have a chance to even it up after a 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.920 rough start and get back on track against the team 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.960 that's rolling. So we're excited, we're ready to go. You know, 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.679 there's some things to clean up still in the game. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.600 I thought we played played pretty good against a really 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.800 good defensive front, and that's just about as good as 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.320 the D line gets in the NFL interior wise. So 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.000 I thought we held up pretty solidum. But let's go 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.120 up next the Thursday night home game against the three 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.000 and oh Miami Dolphins, who beat everybody's Super Bowl favorite 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.640 Buffalo on Sunday. I spent a few minutes with Jesse 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.080 Bates after the game. Before we get to that, we 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.560 remind you that this podcast is brought to you in 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.360 part by Kettering Health, the official healthcare provider of the Bengals. 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.920 With more than one hundred twenty care facilities and fifteen 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.480 hundred care providers, Kettering Health is committed to guiding you 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.320 to your best health.

Jesse, you held the 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.120 Jets without a touchdown, four field goals, you had four takeaways. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.520 What about the performance of the defense, how would you 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.560 describe it today? Obviously, when a team doesn't score a 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.480 touchdown on you, that's always good. But the main thing 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.960 that is a positive for us, we got turnovers. We 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.719 wanted to turnover battle, and like I said, I think 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.880 we play a really good defense. The past three weeks 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.040 of being able to create some turnovers. You had our 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.000 offense to ball. I thought we did a really good job. 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.320 And then also, you know, just with our pass rushers 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.080 finally getting on you know, you got got three sacks 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.720 and then we get interceptions. You know that that kind 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.680 of comes along with playing complimentary football on defense. So 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.400 as our rushers continue to get free and get home, 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.079 there will be more opportunities for us, you know, safeties, corners, 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.719 nicols like everybody to get interceptions. We just got to 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.400 capitalize on it. So and an interception for you today 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.319 along with Logan Wilson says, congratulations on that. How important 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.200 was the opening drive winning the toss taking the ball 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.679 which is unusual going down the field to score. How 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.640 important was that to set it telling today? Yeah, it 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.240 was the message throughout the whole week, starting practice fast 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.040 and then starting the game fast as well. So it 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.439 was a mindset that coach Taylor did a really good job. 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.480 He had a plan this week or what we're gonna 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.200 come in here and do. There was a lot of 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.920 commentary during the week along the lines of don't panic practice, Well, 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.960 do what we do now that you've followed that and 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.640 come away with a win? Is that kind of the mood? Now? 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.200 All right, we take we've taken care of business. That's one. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.080 Anytime you get a win a good um. And we 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.120 got the first one out the way, and you know, 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.240 now it's just just gonna have to keep keep going. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.160 We got a game him four days, four or five days, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.040 UM against a really good team that's three and oh, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.360 so it'll be a great challenge for us, and I 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.760 think it would be ready to prove not to ourselves, 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.480 but you know the whole world what we're about in 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.160 this locker room. So there was never no panic or 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.360 no question about who we were in this locker room 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.440 before we got this first one. You know, the ones 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.840 that we're gonna get in the future. So I just 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.600 gotta continue to practice hard and um execute our offense 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.719 and defensive special team. So final thing following up on 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.560 Trey Hendrickson, did you think this was coming? He didn't 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.640 have a sack coming in three well, two and a 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.640 half sacks and three force fumbles today. You know, Trey, 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.800 he's a maniac. I always call him maniac, and I'm 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.439 just happy to see him get going. I think last 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.160 year he had a sack almost every game, so he 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.920 kind of made up for it today with you know, 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.840 getting two and a half three So, um, I just 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.720 love seeing him, you know, get back there and then 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.040 do it a little celebration, uh, and then for him 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.360 to get two and a half today was great. So 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.280 he's a hardworking man, great person, so I'm not surprised 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.240 um by him continue to do well. Um getting back 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.960 to their quarterback. So congrats down the I NT more importantly, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.160 congrats down the win. Absolutely appreciate that. That's Jesse Bates. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.640 No time to hear from head coach Zach Taylor. He 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.200 spent three minutes with Dave Lapham after the game, gratulations. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.520 Big win, win by two scores in the NFL not 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.679 an easy task now, winning winnings. Winning's difficult in this league, 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:33.599 especially on the road against the team we got a 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.079 lot of respect for Um. They got his last year. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.920 So I thought, our guys really did a good job 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.280 answering the bell creens some momentum for ourselves. We just 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.200 needed to rip that band aid off for a first win. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.480 And and I thought of the guys that are really 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.920 nice up today. Guys are obviously excited about it. I 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.760 mean that music's um, it's hopping out there, a coach, 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.760 it's a it's a little party atmosphere out there, and 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.000 well deserved because you know, you're in both football games. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.640 I mean the NFL, like you said, it's a it's 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.800 a tough, tough dynamic. I thought, complimentary football today. Defense 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.960 take it away, short field, offense score touchdowns, agreed, you know, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.160 and especially to start the game, their offense got the ball, 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:08.840 went down, scored, so the defense can play with the 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.760 first lead of the year. Start the second half. We 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.720 challenged the defense find us another turnover. They did, offense 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.079 punch it in with points. So those moments right there 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.439 were key in this game. And uh, and it's always 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:19.960 good for the defense in the in the game with 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.880 the turnover. You know, the offense started to drive that 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.960 everyone's getting worn out. For Jesse to come up with 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.680 that pick is a big deal. So third down, you 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.840 normally convert on third down. It was third and long 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.440 in some situation you just score touchdowns on those big 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.640 third down conversions. How big was that? Yeah, it's a 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.480 big deal. You know, that's TV stepping up making a 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.400 big play for us. And again it's it's he's always 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.720 a guy that's we can count on when a moment's 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.400 big and we need a big bill, we know TV 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:44.920 is gonna be the one to step up and be 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.200 capable of doing that. So for him to knowly make 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:48.960 that catch on a great route, but to finish the 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.960 playoff was something that really gave us a huge boost 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:53.920 right there. I thought a good sign was at the 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.640 end of the football game, as a formal linement, you 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.960 going with big bodies, you get six linemen out there 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.120 and you're just you know, not trying to surprise anybody 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.560 about anything. You're just going and pounding people and you're 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.000 kind of beating into submission and just letting the clock 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.680 wine down. That was a good thing to see. Yeah, 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.520 it was that's how you wanted into game, you know, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.240 and you know, unfortunately we got to execute the kick 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.720 to finish off that drive and really put that game away. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.760 But I thought our guys up front, we're starting to 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.760 starting to feel the momentum there and getting some good 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.800 push and some Ajo was doing a good job finishing 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.880 it as he subbed in there for Joe, So I 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.480 thought that was a really good way to end it 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.440 for the offense. Trey Hendrickson came up large. I mean, 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.560 I think he forced three fumbles himself, had two and 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.640 a half sacks and three forced fumbles on the day. 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.240 I think it was a crazy day. Great job by him. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.200 You know, it's he's been close, you know, so many 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.640 times the last two games. And for him to create 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.880 the two three tournivers that he did and BJ cleaning 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.280 up two of them is big that we get that 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.560 from the defensive line and the other team's quarterback field, 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:48.960 they can feel that guy bringing it on his neck 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.440 and it affects their play. So yeah, I thought Joe 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.200 Joe Flacco was throwing off his back foot a lot today. 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.520 I mean I didn't think he really had time to 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.920 step into his throws and you know, kind of complete 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.280 the mechanics of his throw. I thought the pressure was 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.280 pretty significant all day long. They did a good job, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.160 you know, a couple more sacks that were closed where 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.680 he got the ball out the last second kind of 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.320 spiked in the ground there. So I thought that our 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.520 defense really did a nice job holding them to four 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.000 fueld goals, two of them started in our territory. I 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.640 thought it was exceptional performance by those guys. They didn't 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.920 take a red zone snap until the very end of 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.920 the football game and still ended up, you know, settling 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.800 for a fuel goal. So I think up until that 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.280 point the deepest penetration that Jets had was the twenty 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.320 five yard line. I mean, when they had to the 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.640 defense just bowed up. Yeah, they've really done that for 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.440 three weeks now. They've played really well. We're going to 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.880 need that to continue. Appreciate you congratulations on a big dub. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:42.360 Awesome appreciative.

The Browns beat the Steelers on 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.840 Thursday night, and the Ravens won in New England on Sunday, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.280 so after three weeks, Baltimore and Cleveland are tied for 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.040 first at two and one. The Bengals and Steelers are 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.560 a game back at one and two. Now time for 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:13.920 postgame analysis and this week's Radio Guys recap. The Bengals 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.040 get a badly needed victory by fifteen points in New York. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.360 The offense set the tone today by winning the toss, 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.840 taking the ball, and marching seventy five yards to score. Yeah. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.960 That's the seventh straight win where they've scored first, and 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.600 the sixth straight when where they've scored on their first drive. 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.359 So it's pretty important. I think, figured you need to 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.320 change something up, you know, I mean, just whatever you 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.960 need to do to try to get a W is 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.840 what you need to do. So I thought playing with 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.000 the lead for the first time, you know, it was 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.239 a big deal. And that wasn't an easy drive, you know. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.040 I had to go ten plays to cover the distance 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.399 they needed to cover, and it was the sign of 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.360 things to come. On third down, some nice are down 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.000 conversions and they had some you know, three of their 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.520 touchdowns were on third down in third and long in 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.200 some cases, So it was kind of a foreshadowing of 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.800 things to come. It was nice to be the sackers 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:15.159 instead of the sack today just two sacks allowed four 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.639 sacks for the Bengals, including two and a half for 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.800 Trey Hendrickson. I know you talked to LC after the game. 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.280 Would you think of the play of the O line. Yeah, 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.000 I mean I thought that it was it was solid. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.800 You know, I think, like we was saying during the game, 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.520 I think that the amount of time that they sustained 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.760 their blocks and protection was was a big factor, and 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.000 it allowed Joe to do some of the things he 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.439 wanted to do, you know, to extend and create plays 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.960 when the initial stuff wasn't there. He had some Houdini 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.320 like escapes, There's no question, but the fact that guys 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.480 were still pressing into guys and protecting Joe, I thought 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.680 was was it definitely a step in the right direction. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.000 And you know ELC got it it out. You know, Uh, 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.720 he's got a issue he's dealing with. I asked him, 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.919 is it is it more pain as more uh stiffness, 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.720 and he said it is what it is, and he's 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.639 just gonna gonna continue to try to operate at the 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.520 best level he can operate at. So it's I thought 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.960 today was a good, good example once again, a complimentary 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.280 football and the defensive takeaways. He gave the offense short fields, 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.639 and the offense didn't waste any time, you know, putting 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.680 points on the board and paying it off. So it 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.879 was all It was all pretty sound in retrospect. Was 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:29.360 there anything more predictable then Joe Burrow would come out 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.000 sharp and have a good game today, not after the 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.000 way he handled himself during the week. I mean he 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:38.000 told everybody to uh our e lax, relax, and you 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.679 know Aaron Rodgers did that and played well after he 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.119 did that. So I think I think he realized how close, 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:48.320 you know, they were in terms of you know, getting 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.200 getting over the top, and they get over the top. 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.600
