It's the greatest 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:16.080 thing since Salute to Service. Intros The NFL does a 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.840 great job of paying tribute to our nation's service members, veterans, 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.080 and their families through its year round Salute to Service 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.679 program that includes a yearly Salute to Service game at 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.679 every NFL stadium. That includes something that always hits me 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.040 right in the heart. When the starting lineup is announced 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.800 and the players individually charge out of the tunnel toward 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.280 the fifty yard line. They are accompanied by an active 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.520 military member, and the players seem to enjoy it as 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.080 much as the men and women who are serving our country. 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.200 They often come out with choreographed handshakes and high fives 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.920 before sprinting toward the fifty. Side by side. Sunday's game 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.200 didn't end well for the Bengals, but it began with 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.640 a wonderful tradition. Now time for the radio replays from 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:07.960 a disappointing afternoon at pay Corps. It is a beautiful 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:12.640 November afternoon here in Cincinnati. We have bright sunshine, not 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.880 a cloud in sight, and while the temperature is cool 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.440 at fifty four degrees, the Bengals are red hot. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:20.600 They've won four straight. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.760 They will try to extend that winning streak today as 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:28.120 they host the Houston Texans. Burro already for a shotgun snap. 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.840 He catches at the thirty seven, drops back to the 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:31.959 forty fires down. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.240 Whoa caught at the famm by Trenton Irwin. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:41.240 Touchdownn Wait Bengals as Burrow delivers a perfect strike and 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.839 Trenton Irwin takes it in for the Bengals touchdown. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.760 Stroud in the gun, three receivers rights. Stroud looking right, 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.519 throws right, caught at the six, running back toward the 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.040 middle of the field, diving toward the end zone. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.160 Touchdown. Tagdell boy. 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.120 That was a heck of a He's a finish right there. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.919 This will be a forty five yard try from the left. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.760 Hash trying to give the Texans a late lead in 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:07.720 the second quarter. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.880 The kick is on its way and it is good, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:12.799 and with. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.360 Ten seconds left in the half, the Texans are ahead 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.200 ten to seven. Stroud under center toss sweep to the right. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:24.000 Singletary has room and cruises into the end zone. I 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.600 don't know if he was touched. It's a touchdown for 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:27.360 the Texans. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.760 They have taken control of the line of scrimmage and 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:31.840 are not letting it go. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.040 Three sacks for the Texans today and that turns it 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.400 into a fifty yard field goal attempt as the Bengals 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.640 went backward after having it the twenty four to snap 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.000 the placement the right footed kick. It has the distance 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:50.080 and it is good. So the Bengals cut the deficit 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:55.560 to ten. As Evan McPherson nails one from fifty yards away, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.920 Burrow will look to throw. Pressure forces him to scre 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.920 amble left. Burrow throws deep down field. Chase catches at 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:05.400 the twenty. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.119 He's at the ten, raises the ball in his right 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.480 hand as he cruises into. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:11.080 The end zone. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:17.919 Touchdown to Jamar Chase, a sixty four yard strike. No gritty, 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.960 no backflip. He's not going to aggravate the back. But 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.840 he just made a huge touchdown catch. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:25.200 Well. 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:25.719 CJ. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:26.800 Stroud has done it. 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.520 Joe Borrow says I could do it too, rolls to 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.440 his left. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.480 Squares his shoulder, pads up, throws it down the middle 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.880 of the football field of Jamar Chase. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.000 Touchdown, first down in goal. The Texans go empty. Stroud 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.840 drops back to throw. Now scrambles up the middle of 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.240 the field to the five to the goal line, and 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.840 he walks in for the touchdown. So here we go 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.280 four minutes to go. The Bengals are in the red 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.240 zone at the fourteen yard line. They trail by ten points. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.960 Burrow waiting for a shotgun snap. Three receivers left, Chase 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.920 alone out to the right. Burrow from the pocket, going backward, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.600 scrambling right throws toward the end zone in traffic intercepted 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.680 in the end zone. Third down in two, Stroud fakes 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.680 a handoff, rolls right throws intercepting. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.480 The Bengals are running it back. Cam Taylor bru tackled 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.080 inside the five. It's not over yet. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.840 C J. Stroud with just his second ist of the year. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.719 Cam Taylor Britt with his fourth interception in the last 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:34.240 five games. Tank Dell save the touchdown, but the Bengals 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.719 will have it first in goal near the five with 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.040 three and a half minutes to go, first and goal 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.520 from the one with three twenty two left in regulation, 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.120 the Bengals down by ten, Burwing the shotgun, mixing to 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:46.640 his right. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.760 Burrow catches the shotgun snap. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.200 Gives it to Joe Mixon knife's into the end zone, touchdown. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:57.039 Bengals with three eighteen to go. Three receivers left, one right. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.480 Burrow catches the shotgun snap he's back to throw, flings 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.800 it over the middle, sleeping catch boy to the fifty. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.520 He's running away from the back at the thirty, the 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:10.120 twenty to fifteen, the ten. He's tackled inside the ten. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.159 With one fifty three to go. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.680 Joe Burrow has had seven fourth quarter comeback. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.920 Victories in his career. Will it beat number eight? 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.320 Burrow waits for the snap from Ted Karris. Joe has 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.120 the ball drops back from the twenty one throws Foo 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.640 bobbled and dropped in the end zone. Tyler Boyd a 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.720 great throw and Boyd dropped what could have been the 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.800 go ahead touchdown. What should have been the go ahead touchdown, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.640 the Bengals have to settle for a field goal try 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.000 from thirty one yards away, trying to tie the game 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.120 with one thirty seven to go. Adamitas will snap, Robbins 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.440 will hold. The snap is good, the ball is placed down, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.120 The kick is up and is good, tying the game 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:01.279 with ninety three seconds remaining, from thirty eight yards away 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.039 from the left hash to win the game for the Texans, 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.920 the snap the swing of the right leg, The kick 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.160 is up and the kick is good. The clock hit 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:17.000 zero and the Texans celebrate they have defeated the Bengals 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.440 by the final score of thirty to twenty seven. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:21.600 Amazing. 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.320 You talk about coming back and having an opportunity to 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.320 win a football game and then to lose it like that, 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.080 the thrill of victory the agony of defeat in a 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.600 matter of minutes. 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.200 The Houston Texans, a team that won three games last year, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.440 are now five and four with a twenty point win 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.560 of Jacksonville, a thirty to six win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.040 and a road win at Cincinnati, and the stats on 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:55.280 Sunday were downright ugly. The Texans outgained the Bengals by 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.160 one hundred and sixty four yards five point forty four 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:02.080 to three eighty. Singletary rushed for a career high one 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.320 point fifty and Noah Brown had a career high one 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.400 hundred and seventy two receiving yards and listened to this. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.480 His first catch went for nine yards, his next six 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.880 went for thirty, twenty eight, twenty nine, twenty thirty four, 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.600 and twenty two. I don't ever remember a receiver being 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.840 that wide open that many times during the Bengals four 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.160 game winning streak. Cincinnati's opponents never scored more than twenty points. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.640 The Texans scored thirty, and it could have been more 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.839 if they didn't lose a fumble at the Bengals nine. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.360 I talked about it with DJ Reader. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.719 I don't we didn't play well enough to win. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.120 He was a group as a team a roll and 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.520 so that's all this stuff happens in You know, it's 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.680 not going to be rewarded when you don't play them. 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:51.360 Enough to win. They don't. 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.120 Sevin Singletary had a big day in the running game. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.000 What were the Texans doing that was challenging to stop 0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:59.440 missing tackles? 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:00.280 That's it. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.320 We just missed tackles. They didn't do nothing that really 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.400 made it tough. We just missed tackle. He's a good back, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.600 but they can't miss the many tackles. As the defense, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.120 what do you think of CJ. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:10.560 Stroud? 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.760 We pretty good man. He stays in the pocket, well, 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.559 throw some good balls. It does a good job of 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.120 feeling the pocket out. Seemed like I was running wide 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:19.719 open at there. So we just gotta do better as 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.240 a as a group. We uh tightened up a little bit, 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:22.679 but we. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.040 Just gotta do better. You guys have won four straight 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.319 and five out of stick six. Is it kind of 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.679 a stunning result of that one slipped through your fingers 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:30.000 at home? 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:30.280 Oh? 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.079 I think it's just more frustrating cause you know, we 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.560 we we know we didn't play a guitar standard. You 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.400 know they're a good team that fire that hot. But 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.880 as a team, you know, you can deal with losses 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.480 when you play up to the standard. But you don't, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.040 it's not it's frustrating to deal with, you know what 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:43.480 I'm saying. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.080 I imagine everyone's hurting for Tyler Boyd. He's one been one 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.080 of the most reliable receivers in the league for his 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.079 entire career and unfortunately dropped what could have been a 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:52.559 game winner. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:53.680 Yeah. Man, tough things. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.840 Happened, man, this thing and that's why we got big shoulders. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.360 You know, we gotta well out there. I spend again 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.160 next week, we'd look we go a short week, opportunity 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.319 to get the problems. No time to stew over it then, 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.360 for sure, No Thomas sad gonna worry about it. We 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.240 just gotta go out there and get a win next time. 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.360 I appreciate this time for sure. The one thing the 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.160 Bengals defense did do well was take the ball away 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.640 forcing three turnovers. In fact, when Joe Burrow threw his 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.440 second interception with four minutes to go, fans started heading 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.160 for the exits, only to turn around and rush back 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.720 in when Cam Taylor Britt picked off c J. Stroud 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.439 less than thirty seconds later to give Cincinnati a chance. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.280 Taylor Britt is now tied for third in the NFL 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.120 with four picks, and Dave Lapham spoke to him after 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:36.520 the game. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.120 I think you had at least nine tackles, probably double digit, 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.160 but I mean the interception was huge. The interception kept 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.240 the Cincinnati Bengals alive and then the football game. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:49.480 Take us through that play. 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.920 Yeah, I just got hit on the same play before, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.640 and I think I was just playing off on the 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.320 first one and he ran the underneath out and I 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:57.760 was kind of off and I made the tackle on. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:58.680 On the other side of the field. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.800 By this time, I just pressed stitting on you know 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.760 who I was guarding on, you know, to speak guy. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.120 They want to catch a run with him, So I 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.280 just pressed at that time, and so he throws his 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.040 undercutter like I should have did on the first one. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.560 So yeah, it just made it play. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.920 What about your your finger you had to leave the 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.600 game for a little bit. Did you did you dislocated? 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:16.800 Did you pop it? What happened? 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:17.079 Yeah? 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.079 He dislocated and popped it right back again. 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.200 Been there, I know what that's like. Did it go 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:22.920 back easy? 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.560 No, I ain't go back easy. He did a little 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.200 you know, fiddling around with it. But yeah, we're all good. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:29.960 Now, that's good. That's good. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.880 So their running game, I mean, they did get their 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.440 their running game going to compliment that passing attack. And 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.920 when you get a running game out for like one 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.640 hundred and they had one back over over one hundred 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.960 and thirty, and then they can run play action off that, 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.000 it makes it tough, doesn't it. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.160 Oh yeah, most definitely. You know, when you're trying to crash, run, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:48.400 crash and run and then they hit you with a 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.000 nice play action deep shot across the field, that's when 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.880 you know you really got the home in on your 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.440 your craft and eyes and everything. That's when everything kind 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.760 of comes into play, you know, And they kind of 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.120 hit us with some of those in the game, you know, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:11:59.800 and I hurt us. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.000 So you still have a chance to win the football game. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.560 The Bengals were in position to score a touchdown to 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.160 take take a lead that doesn't happen, and you know, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.440 I know Tyler's obviously feels terrible about you know, a 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.320 play down the stress that wasn't made. But there's a 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.440 million plays during the course of the football game that 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.160 if any of them had gone differently, it might be 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:18.640 a different outcome, right. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.720 Yeah, Memos definitely, Man, I say, you can't just picking 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.120 out one moment in that game. We played as a whole, 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.800 as a team. Every those situation matters. You know, it 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.199 can't put it on one person. So we just got 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:28.800 to come out here next time and put off no 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.600 tenth holes on the ground and go stand on business. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.040 Muh As. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.800 For the offense, it started well, scoring a touchdown on 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.600 the opening drive for the fifth straight game, but then 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.080 Cincinnati went bone dry for a quarter and a half. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.920 At one point, the Bengals had five straight possessions without 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.000 a first down. Joe Burrow threw for three hundred and 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.160 forty seven yards and two touchdowns, but also threw two 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.640 picks in a game for the first time since the 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.880 AFC Championship lost to Kansas City. Joe has also sacked 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:03.559 four times, including three by veteran defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.439 a good player, but not exactly Aaron Donald. Until this year, 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.600 Rankins had not had more than three sacks in a 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:17.520 season since twenty eighteen. The Bengals did score twenty seven points, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.960 which is usually enough to win, but it wasn't on Sunday. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.280 Here's Joe Mixon. 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:24.760 The guys they fought. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.680 They fought their asses off all four quarters, you know, 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:28.640 from start to finish. 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.960 You know, offense, we struggled. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.319 We started off slow, and they basically carried the momentum 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.199 for the most part. But you know, the best thing 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.440 about it is we figured it out, and unfortunately it 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.160 was too late. So we just got to do whatever 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.640 we can to not start that way, man, and just 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.120 learn from what we've been having. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.960 I'm sure, what was that emotional roller coaster ride like 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.120 at the end where it looked like, inspite everything, you're 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.079 going to pull it out, and then Houston makes the 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:57.480 plays to win the game. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.080 I mean when it come down, so he just got 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.000 a you know, the game and over until it's over 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.960 till his zero. The best thing about it is our 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.000 guys we fought in claud scratch. But the thing is, 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.920 you know, we came up short most of the time, 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.120 you know, we find ourselves on a on a winning 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.000 half man. So uh you know, for me, I try 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.800 not to you know, get too high, get too love. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.160 Just like I said, the best thing about it is 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.240 with the turning page real quick, get ready for Baltimore 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.440 and uh, you know, Thursday night football. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.360 There's not a more sure handed receiver in the NFL 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.840 than Tyler boyd imagine everybody in here is hurting for him. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.480 Nine times out of ten, he's gonna make that play. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.000 And uh, you know, even though he dropped the past. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.600 I mean, I know what type of receiver he is. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.200 I've been with him for seven years and he's always 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.800 been consistent. Thing about it is, I mean, gonna keep 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.920 his head up high as he should. He got us 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.480 back ope down, you know, to make a to make 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.600 a crucial play, to be able to you know, potentially 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.800 go ahead. And you know the best thing about it is, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.600 you know our guys, you know, kept him in there 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.360 when we stayed. We stayed, and you know, we just 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.480 came up short when it comes down to it, that 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.920 last drive. Even though it was that last drive, we 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.120 should have never been in that situation in the first place, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.080 to be honest, But I mean, it is what it is, 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.960 so uh my boy, he gonna tell he's gonna keep 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.000 his head up high as he should and get ready 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:17.800 to turn the page. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.040 I don't know if you even heard at this point 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.520 Cleveland rally to beat Baltimore, so you didn't lose any 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.640 ground in the division. How does that impact you going 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:26.400 into Thursday night? 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.400 I mean that's cool enough, but. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.600 You know, I guess thank them, you know, when it 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.880 come down to it, we got a big game coming up, 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.560 and I guess both teams is off of a loss. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.960 So I'm sure just like we want to get that 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:41.600 taste out our mind, I'm sure they do too. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:41.840 Man. 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.840 So as long we know what type of game is 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.440 gonna be and we just got to get ready to, 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.720 you know, for a big fight. 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.880 I appreciate your time, Yeah, for sure. The Baltimore Ravens 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.200 had a fourteen point lead with nine minutes to go 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.560 on Sunday, but lost at home to Cleveland thirty three 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.360 to thirty one. The Steelers were out gained by seventy 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.920 five yards against Green Bay, meaning Pittsburgh has been outgained 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.560 in every game this season, but the Steelers won again 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.120 twenty three nineteen, so in the AFC, North Baltimore is 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.960 on top at seven and three, The Steelers and Browns 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.120 are a half game back at six and three, and 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.280 the Bengals are a game and a half back behind 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.160 the Ravens at five and four. Heading into that Thursday 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:28.040 night showdown, the Steelers and Browns face each other in 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:32.520 Cleveland next Sunday. Now, let's hear from Zach Taylor as 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.800 he spent a couple of minutes with Lap after the game. 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.360 Man, that was a hard fought football game, no question 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.560 about it. Could could have gone either way at any 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.760 point in time. I mean, give us your assessment of 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.520 what you saw on how you feel at this point. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.680 We did enough earlier in the game to give ourselves 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.000 the best chance. I was part of the way the 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.040 guys fought back. That's rare that you can come down 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.120 from from whatever we were down and late in the 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.760 fourth quarter and be able to put ourselves in a 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.680 position to win the game. Unfortunately, just too little, too late. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:02.920 So I know Tyler feels awful. 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.320 I mean you know that that play feels like he 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.520 can make the making his sleep. But it never comes 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.200 down to one play in a game like this. There's 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.560 always a million plays that you can go back to 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:13.919 and say, if we had done this, if we had 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.720 done that. But overall, what do you think were some 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.200 of the things that that maybe surprised you or didn't 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:21.240 go the way you thought they might. 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.840 A rhythm in the first half on offense particular, you know, 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.440 a lot of three and outs, just couldn't get that 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.639 first first down to get ourselves going and give ourselves 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.400 a little bit of rhythm. You got regredit to them. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.520 They did the good job keeping us off off balance 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.159 a little bit, and so then you know, that's I 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:36.840 thought our defense was doing a good job in the 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.639 first half. I've taken the pressure off of us. We 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:39.880 just didn't get enough points on the board. 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:40.400 Yeah. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.280 Defensively, well, they played fast and they're good tacklers. I 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.800 mean they were. They were making tackles, were limiting. There 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.040 was nothing after the after the cats. It wasn't in 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.800 the yards after catch, not a whole lot of yards 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.359 after the contract. The contact they were they were playing 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.840 a very uh, very emotional game, I guess. So they 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:58.960 were playing fast for sure. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.520 Yeah, there are physical team. They play with a lot 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.680 of energy, and so we expected to see that today 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.320 and that's where we're at C. J. 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.000 Stroud is as advertised. I mean that kid has kind 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.359 of ice water in his veins as well to go 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.159 down the football field make some of the plays he 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:14.320 made to win the football game. 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.400 He did a good job. He extended some plays, found 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.760 some perceivers and certainly that in that last drive put 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:20.800 him in a position to go win. 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.280 He seems to be when he gets out of pocket 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.560 and creates an extens he's going for the juggular. I mean, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.679 he's trying to make a big play. It looked like 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.080 a high percentage of the time. Is that his demo 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:31.639 He's done a good job of that. 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.280 You know, he's just a rookie, hasn't played a ton, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.240 but I thought last week against Tampa he did that, 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:36.959 led them down for a game winning drive, and did 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:37.639
