We all got an extra hour 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.920 of sleep on Sunday morning, but that's not my favorite 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.440 part of daylight savings time. It's getting up first thing 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.800 in the morning after the time change and sinking all 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.279 of the clocks in our house. In our kitchen alone, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.279 there's a clock on the stove, the microwave, the coffee maker, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.480 the toaster, oven, and a clock on the wall. Maybe 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.360 it's just me, but I love it when they are 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:42.319 all matched up almost to the second.

Burrow, 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.200 back at the twelve, catches the snap short drop throws 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.360 it into the back left corner of. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.760 The end zone pot by IRV Smith Junior. 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.720 His first touchdown has a Cincinnati Bengal and the Bengals 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.200 are on the scoreboard first. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.920 Jordan Poyer was in coverage.

What a drive. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.800 Latavious Murray, a bigger running back, checks into the game. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.960 On first and goal, Alan fakes to him. Pump Fakes, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.960 runs toward the pylon and does a little taunting of 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.520 Nick Scott as he cruises into the end zone. There 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.079 are two penalty flags thrown late on the play. Now 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.600 it's third down in goal from the two. Chase Alone 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.359 out to the left, Boyden Higgins out to the right. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:01.639 Burrow hands it to. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.359 Mixon and he will go flow into the end zone 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:06.760 for a touchdown. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.640 And here comes the jungle jump as the Bengals have 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:12.959 gone back in front. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.000 Shotgun snap Allen to throw.

Trayon Williams 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.560 in the game. He lines up to the left of 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.960 Joe Burrow. Joe has the ball under pressure, dumps it 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.680 off short caught. Drue Sample has a first down to 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.520 the ten, the face to the pie line. He's in touchdown. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:45.600 Beautiful Bengals Drew Sample catching a short pass from Joe 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.960 Burrow and doing the rest on a twenty two yard TD. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.320 Well he released late. He stayed in the block and 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.200 then he released late, and as a result, the Buffalo 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.840 Bills lost track of him. 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.560 First and ten at the twenty two percent Alan catches 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.680 looking left, throw us over the middle. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.000 Caught by kick Aid loses the football scooped up by 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.440 the Bengals. 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.360 At the thirteen yard line.

Alan has 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.400 the ball looking over the middle, fires toward the end zone. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.960 Caught Stefan Diggs got behind DJ Turner and it's a 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.680 Buffalo touchdown with three thirty two to go. Joe Burrow 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.000 hands on hips, eyeballing the defense. Buffalo's showing pressure up 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.160 the middle. The Bengals handed to Mixon gets away from 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.000 an ankle tackle running toward the first down marker. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.880 He's got it, wow and that his coffin. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:05:00.440 Nails Bam Bam bam. And what he did was he 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.400 made von Miller miss one on one von Miller Joe Mixon, 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.360 he makes von Miller missed. What a play by Joe Mixon. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.000 One more snap will do it. Once the clock is 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.599 inside of forty seconds to go, the Bengals can snap 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.000 the ball. They snap it with thirty eight seconds to go. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.000 Burrow takes a knee and the coaches begin walking toward 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:24.000 the fifty yard line. Let the record show that in 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.640 the head to head competition between Joe Burrow and Josh Allen, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.159 it is Burrow two, Allen nothing. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:33.960 At the Bengals win. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.240 They're fourth in a row, beating the Bills tonight by 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:42.400 the final score of twenty four to eighteen. Here are 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.919 some key stats from the win. Joe Burrow threw for 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.520 a season high three hundred and forty eight yards with 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.360 two touchdowns, no picks, and a passer rating of one 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.880 oh eight point nine. T Higgins was his favorite target 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.520 with eight catches for one hundred and ten yards unless 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.560 you consider the tight ends as a grit tanner. Hudson 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.760 Drew Sample and earth Smith Junior combined for ten catches 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.000 for one hundred and one yards and a pair of touchdowns. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.760 The Bengals didn't get much out of the running game, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.200 as Joe Mixon finished with thirty seven yards on fourteen carries. 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.160 That's just two point six per attempt, but he did 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.239 put the game away with a great five yard run 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.279 on third down and three with two minutes to go. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.599 He spoke to Dave Lapham in the locker room. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.359 Big run. Basically under the ballgame at that point with 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.599 that rush that you had, talk about it. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.720 Yeah, man, they played pretty much double A gaps. They 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.800 tried us, you know, pretty much zero blitzies. It was literally, uh, 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.880 basically just me and Vaughn at that point. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:47.760 I thought that. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.760 Jonah sil you know, the edge well, you know, came 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.920 crashing down on a h I don't know. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.560 I think it was a seventh I don't know. 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.080 I think there was a linebacker maybe, but you know, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.480 I bounced out. It was me and Vaughn, you know, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.479 cho give him a joke, made a miss and got 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.640 the first down. Wish I can go back and you know, 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.320 get out of bound or fall instead of going out 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.080 of bounds. But you know, we was able to get 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.080 it done, man, and that's how that mattered. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.760 So you mentioned that they were running double a gap 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.880 on that snap. They did that a lot. Man. It 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.200 was like they felt like they had to crowd the 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.440 line of scrimmage and pressure you guys. And I thought 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.880 a big part of your game tonight was blitz pick up. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:25.080 Man. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:26.720 You were outstanding in blitz pick up. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.440 Yeah, man, I thought that. You know, me and Trey 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.080 did a hell of a job. You know, I wish 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.480 I could go back on one and you know, technique wise 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.160 and you know, clean some things up. But for the 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.600 most part, I definitely felt like, you know, we honed 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.960 in and handle business and you know, got a few 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.600 pancakes and you know, pretty much was holding up firm 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.760 in the pocket. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:45.920 Man. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.040 So Joe was delivering dimes and everything was coming together. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.680 So he's gotta keep building on that and keep going 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:52.679 getting better. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.600 Joe, You're on a four game winning streak and you've 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.679 scored not only in the first drive in every single game, 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.680 but the second drive, your first two drives and all 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.440 four wins. You guys just score touchdowns. What what does 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.480 it mean to get off to a fast start like that? 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.200 Yeah, I mean pretty much over here, that's what we preach, 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.360 you know, start fast and finish faster when it comes 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.040 down to it, Man, I thought that the guys that 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.960 the hell of a job honing in on the game plan, crowd. 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:19.920 They played a great part of it, you know, with 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.400 the momentum and things like that. 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:22.720 But when it come down to. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.960 It, we just got to keep building and keep capitalizing 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.560 on you know what teams give us. Like I said, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.880 I feel like, you know what, the potential that we 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.480 got in this here locker room. We got the potential 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.800 to be the best and literally every stat you know 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.840 in football, from from offensive defense, and when it comes 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.640 down to it, we just got to keep on getting better, 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.599 honing in on a game plan and doing what we 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.280 gotta do. Keep stacking these wins, and they are, every 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.600 single one of them, getting bigger and bigger. We can 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.079 try our own destiny and we's got to come out 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.800 here and finish, you know, one week at a time 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.200 and hopefully, you know, see us come down the road. 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.000 And finally everybody said, oh, you know the tight ends. 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.840 I don't know the Bengals tight ends. Are they good enough? 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.320 Tight Ends played their asses off tonight. The tight end 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.119 position stepped up running backs, receivers, a bunch of receivers 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.760 made plays, you know, not just Jamar who made plays 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.720 himself as well, but that that passed to Tyler Boyd 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.720 on on your final drive. How big was that? Yeah? 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.520 I thought TV came a huge on that hell of 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.360 a play? Uh, how's the hell of a play? Paul Bozak. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.480 You know, we pretty much executed, you know, all the way. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:26.640 Around, all eleven of us. 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.680 And uh, when it comes down to it, when you're executing, 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.720 great things is gonna happen. And that's just what it is. Man. 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.360 But I'm excited. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:35.240 About you know this, big dug. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:40.320 We're going to celebrate today tonight and come tomorrow, you know, Uh, 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.440 get the kinks out, learn from the drawing boards, go 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.560 back to the drawing boards, and get ready for Houston. Man. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.640 Defensively, Mike Hilton had ten solo tackles and the Bengals 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.200 won the turnover battle to nothing. Jermaine Pratt forced to 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.920 fumble that was recovered by Nick Scott and Cam Taylor. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.320 Britt came away with his third interception in the last 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.120 four games. I caught up with Cam in front of 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:09.040 his locker. Two games for you against the Buffalo Bills. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.520 Two picks off Josh Allen describe the one you had tonight. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:14.680 It's so crazy. 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.960 It was the same defense and I baited him. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.080 Man, I just gave him two steps downhill thinking I 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.640 was gonna go for the outing. We knew he's He's 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.920 a guy who trustes on more than you know, any 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.839 dB to ever touch the ball.

They've got some great weapons, and 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.679 by and large he shut them down pretty well. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.280 To him, I'm supposed to have, you know, Just like that, 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.240 I feel like anybody would play, you know, and I'm 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.720 line up on them or DJ or Mike or Cheatah, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.560 anybody on the back of him. I just feel like, 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.079 you know, we we we're so close and tight knit 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.680 right now. I don't feel a lot of people, you know, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.040 running by us, you know, getting by us. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.200 That was a huge play and obviously the force fumble 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.240 by Germain and the recovery by next Scot was huge 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.320 insight the ten. How significant did you feel that play was? 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.000 I think that was one of the mainsor you know, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.080 turning points. I feel like we always are turning points 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.840 in our games, and you know, you could just you know, 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.800 pinpoint them. And I believe that was the one right there, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.040 you know, going down to score and you know we 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.480 had to nut up to shut up basically, and you 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.000 know when it we always say yards are ecle points. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:30.840 It's gonna come back to that always, you know. 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.280 And we hit a four straight wins, including back to 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.040 back wins over the forty nine Ers and Bills, two 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:37.839 of the best teams in the NFL. How do you 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.360 feel about the state of the Bengals right now? 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.200 It should be lit right now. We got a lot 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:43.920 of football to play though, so yeah, you know, you 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.840 could be lit right now. But Monday we back here. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.800 What'd you think of the atmosphere tonight with the striping, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:50.040 the jungle and the whole deal. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.400 I think I can say it was lit now. It 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.360 was crazy, man. We and got some of the guys 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.959 are talking about it, you know, just MS Maris, But 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.440 you know the words in black, I color coordinated. It 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.520 would they read to take the time to do that, man, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.440 and it so man, I think it was, you know, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:04.640 intimidation thing. You know. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:06.360 The game A great show. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:07.760 Congrats, thank you so much. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.600 So the Bengals have won four in a row. The 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.920 only team in the NFL with a longer current winning 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.440 streak is Jacksonville at five in a row. Now time 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.640 to hear from head coach Zach Taylor, who spent about 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.680 three and a half minutes with Lap after the game. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.120 So, I gotta ask you about this four wins in 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.760 a row. You haven't scored on your first drive on 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.679 you just scored in your first two drives and all 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.319 four of those victories. I mean, how big is that? 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.600 It's big to get that momentum early in the game, 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.080 put pressure on the other team where they can feel 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.640 what type of game it's going to be. Oser, defensive, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.160 tee off you know, when they've got that type of lead, 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.320 and it makes the game easier to call for our 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:48.679 guys and freeze it up, let us and be a 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:49.880 little more aggressive on offense. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.720 So when you work so hard on your first few plays, 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.520 you know you have an idea what you might want 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.800 to call for your first two drives. When it works 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.600 out like that, how rewarding is that? 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.600 For rewarding, you know, and our guys they understand what's 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.480 coming at him. Those are things that we walked through 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.120 and talk about great, great detail, so they can preview 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.240 it really the night before and they come out and 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.480 they do a great job executing it. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.080 You much maligned tight end position was large today. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.959 They were awesome, you know, and all those guys contributed. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.480 James Casey does a great job getting that room ready 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.040 and answering the bell when their numbers called, and then 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.040 they all did that today. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.280 Joe didn't even target Jamar Chase until this thirteenth pass 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.319 attempt of the day. Was that my design? Or was 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.280 it they were just taking Jamarrow away? Or did you 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.800 really want to get others involved because you knew what 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:37.760 Jamar was going to do. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.719 No, there were things where he was the primary, you know, 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.240 and the type of coverage dictated the ball had to 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.400 go away from him. And so the credit to them. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.160 They did the good job. They keep you all balanced. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.720 They throw a lot of different things at you. They'll 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.440 pressure you, and they're not afraid to contest you. So 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.200 it was difficult to predict where the ball was going 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:54.439 to go. You just kept calling it and jo just 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:55.640 finding the open receiver. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.160 They blitzed a ton. I mean that double A gap. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.960 Seemed like every snap they were lining up in the 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.720 double A gap and sometimes coming with everybody and sometimes 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.199 not put Was it a higher percentage than normal or 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.480 is that the way they played it all year? 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.120 They pressure you, you know, they're not afraid to do it. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.440 And so again our guys were ready for a lot 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:12.880 of the different looks that we were going to get. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.720 They do a great job changing it up, and so 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:15.840 you just got to stay in your toes. 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.880 The whole game. Joe Mixon talk about how big a 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:18.840 factor he was today. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.800 That was the way he finished that out was big time, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.360 you know, and he had some harder and run. It 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.280 was never easy. So in four minute drill, you know, 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.160 you can't block them all. It's cover zero, it's the 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.560 last play of the game. And for him to find 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.000 a way to make that last guy miss get that 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.240 first down was enormous. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.960 I thought, well, you know, maybe the alongside kick. I 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.320 don't know. I mean, because Joe Burrow the way he's playing, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.320 I don't know, maybe if they kick it to the Bengals, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.200 just take a knee and the in the game. That's 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.960 the way it turned out. That throw to Tyler Boyd 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.440 though unbelievable call by you, Tyler Boyd executed it. Talk 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:49.400 about that play. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.920 Yeah, it's a player guys believe in, you know, and 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.040 you really don't want to start with the first and 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.680 ten run that gets, you know, yards, because that's what 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.200 they're anticipating. So you wanted to put yourself ahead of 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.880 the sticks and let our guys you know, finished off 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.680 from there. And so again great protection, great throw, great 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:04.280 route by TV. 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.520 And so it's good to see you played a clean 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.120 game last week. No penalties on the offense, clean game 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:14.200 this week, no gifts, no giveaways, two takeaways plus two. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:14.960 It's big. 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.200 The turnover battle is huge in games versus really good 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.520 opponents like this. You got to find a way to 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.040 win it, you know, and plus two usually guarantees your victory. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:24.800 And so that was good to see that our guys 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:25.480 been just that way. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.200 Today uncharacteristically, and it had to be frustrating to you. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.240 The stretch of penalties and down this the end of 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.480 the second quarter had to be frustrating for you. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:35.880 It was tough. You know, there was two of them, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.360 one of one of them. Will have to watch and 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.920 see again, you know, on the scramble. But you know 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.360 there's some things that we got to I got to 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:42.920 get the call on better so that we can have 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.800 some urgency, get into the line at the ball snapped 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:45.600 and help our guys out. 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.600 Coach, appreciate it. You got your team playing really hard. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.200 Joe Burrow's back. There's no doubt about that. I mean, 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.560 everybody around the league is looking to say, uh oh, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.280 Bengals are back. Bengals are back, no question about it. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:00.360 Thanks Coach, Thank you. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.800 The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought to you by pay Corps, 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.720 proud to be the Bengals official HR software provider, by 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.920 Alta Fiber future proof Fiber Internet designed to elevate your home, 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.160 business and community to a new level, and by Kettering 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.360 Health the best care for the best fans. Kettering Health 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:23.000 is the official healthcare provider of the Bengals. Now time 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:27.560 for the radio guys recap that before the trade deadline, 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.160 a lot of folks were speculating that the Bengals would 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.880 try to add a tight end to the room. They didn't. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.960 They did promote Tanner Hudson from the practice squad to 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.840 the fifty three man roster. Well, at least tonight they 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.080 didn't need any other tight ends. Drew Sample had a touchdown. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.200 IRV Smith had a touchdown. Tanner Hudson had four catches 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.320 for forty five yards. They got great production out of 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:48.840 that position. 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:53.920 Yeah, they really did. It was good to see on 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.880 a national stage to boot you know. I mean, I 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.760 think it takes a lot of pressure off off of 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.880 the players that position group, and they work hard. Their 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:08.520 coach works hard. He gets them ready. They're absolutely on 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:12.080 point with respect to assignments, not making mistakes, not doing 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.800 anything to hurt, you know, the football team from a 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.919 negative standpoint. And today they stepped up and made plays. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.800 And I thought it was interesting that Jamar Chase was 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.800 not targeted by Joe Burrow until the thirteenth pass attempt 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.040 of the day. And I asked Zach about it and 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.280 he said, well, he was the primary in some cases, 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.880 you know, wasn't there. They were bracketing him and doing 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.280 different things to him, rolling coverage, clouding and all that, 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.680 so they went elsewhere. But other times it was designed 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.600 to go to other people, and t Higgins as a result, 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.480 stepped up and had a game nine targets, eight catch, 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.360 one hundred and ten yards. I mean it was big Hudson, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.520 like you said, four catches for forty five yards. He 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.960 was targeted five times. Tyler Boyd had that huge catch. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.160 That thirty two yard catch basically stealed the game. Made 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.800 that four minute drill or three minute and whatever second 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.119 drill heck of a lot easier when they picked up 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.320 three first downs on that on that one drive. It 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.080 was a great call by Zach and a great road 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:09.240 run by Tyler Boyd. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.520 Let's go back to the beginning of the game. They 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.879 score on their opening drive. Four straight games of the 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.239 touchdown on the opening drive, and then they followed up 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.000 with another touchdown. Third straight game that they've done that, 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.080 and going back four games, they had a field goal 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.280 on their second drive. So four straight games where they 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.560 score points on their first two drives. I don't ever 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:28.760 remember that happening before. 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.080 That's that's unbelievably impressive, and it just takes such a 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.640 load off the defense. I mean, you know, when when 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.320
