It's the greatest 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:05.760 thing since minimal traffic. Spending twenty four hours in the 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.600 New York City area is a reminder that traffic jams suck. 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.760 I lived in Boston for five years, where my ride 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.759 to work was forty eight minutes on a good day 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:20.240 and two hours on a bad one. So yeah, occasionally 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.039 traffic on seventy one and seventy five can be a 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:27.760 bit slow, But trust me, we have it great in Cincinnati. 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.200 Now let's get to Sunday's less than great performance in 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.640 the Big Apple. With rookie quarterback Zach Wilson out with 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.160 a knee injury, Mike White made his first NFL start 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.680 for the Jets. Facing one of the NFL's stingiest defenses 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.959 through seven weeks. The former Western Kentucky star went seven 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.320 for seven on New York's opening drive as the Jets 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.120 took an early lead. He's in the shotgun, he catches 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.360 the ball, It's a toss suite to the left. Michael 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.080 Carter has a haul night thing into the end zone, 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:04.040 touchdown New York Jets, the first time in seven games 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.480 the Jets have scored in the first quarter. White actually 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.960 completed his first eleven passes, but his streak ended on 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.840 the jets second drive, first and ten at the Bengals. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.600 Forty five White passes and it is an accepted fuction 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.519 fate sprinting b the side, nice catch back at the 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.799 eighteen and gets tackled inside the five. They'll mark him 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.160 down at the one. Wow. It was first and goal 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.640 inside the one, but a run by Joe Mixon lost 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.360 a yard. Another run by Joe lost an additional yard. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.560 A third down pass was dropped in the end zone 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.000 by Jamar Chase, and the Bengals decided to try for 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.720 that touchdown one more time. So rather than taking the 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.239 easy field goal, the Bengals line up to go for 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.480 it on fourth down and goal from the three. The 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.400 crowd going bananas here in New Jersey. Burrow extends the hands, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.880 catches the shotgun snap, he's back to throw, he's in trouble, 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.680 and he gets sacks back at the fifteen yard line. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:09.240 An absolute disaster for Cincinnati. After the interception by Jesse Bays, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.560 Nieseman got the sack. And now that's just the New 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.440 York Jets. You can't play any better goal line defense 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.200 than that. It's first and goal the one. On that series, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:24.360 the Jets physically dominated up front. Joe Mixon says, blame 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.400 it on locker room leaders like himself. We got to 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.280 have our team, you know, ready to go, and today 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.520 we just wasn't ready. Who came out flat? They wanted 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.160 it more and that's just what it was. Still, it 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.200 looked like the Bengals would overcome their early game duldrums. 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.720 Second down and four, the Jets at their own twenty 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.240 one White with a seven step drop. He throws it 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.840 short and it is inter second baby, he was off 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.440 the fingertips of Carter the running back, right into the 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.280 midst of a Bengals linebacker and Jermaine Pratt picks it off. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.360 The Bengals will start from the Jets fifteen. This time, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.480 the Bengals cashed in in the shotgun Mixon to his right, 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.280 second and goal inches away. Burrow hands it off, Mixon 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.640 runs it in the touchdown Bengals as Joe started right, 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.520 cut it back toward the middle and lunged forward for 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.560 the Bengal score that tied the game at seven, and 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.240 after stopping the Jets on their next two drives, the 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.880 Bengals took the lead. Late in a half, Burrow fakes 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.280 a handoff to Mix and, looking for an open target 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:31.320 scrambling left, throws for Chase. He's got it. Touchdown Bengals, 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.600 as Burrow bought time and fired a strike to the 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.840 forward left pylon, hauled in by Jomar Chase for his 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.760 seventh touchdown catch in eight games. Right, and that's just 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.280 being physical. That made it fourteen seven Bengals. And on 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.440 the jets next possession, Von Bell forced and recovered a 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.640 fumble for Cincinnati's third takeaway of the first half. With 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.520 the ball near midfield, the Bengals tried a Halloween trick 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.320 and the result was a tree. Burrow catches a chest 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.239 high snap, throws it backward for Boyd he wants to pass, 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.920 throws it across the field of mix it three blockers 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:13.360 show down the sideline to the thirty hand offended inside 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.719 the ten yard line. Oh Man. That forty six yard 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.400 pass made it first in goal at the seven, but 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.159 three in completions by Burrow forced the Bengals to settle 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.760 for a field goal and a seventeen seven lead. There 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.719 were less than two minutes to go in the half. 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.040 The Jets hadn't scored on their previous five drives. Mike 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:37.480 White promptly carved the Bengals defense up. Mike White, in 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.760 an empty backfield, catches the shotgun snap. He will plot 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.360 it toward the end zone. No pot Pie Barrios touchdown. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:50.040 New York Jets that was right on the sideline and Barrios, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.480 according to the nearest official, got two feet down for 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.080 the score that made it seventeen fourteen. His White passed 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.800 for two hundred and seventeen yards in the first half. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:04.400 Here's Sam Hubbard. Yeah, it was a lot of you know, screens, misdirections, 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.360 checkdowns and forcing us to come up and get get 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.040 to a rally tackle. Um, you know, you know it's 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.000 it's really just about us. You know, we got to 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.800 make the plays to get off the field. Their game 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.520 plan was good, but um, you know, there's no excuse 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.560 for our mental errors and every single one of us 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.040 on the defense I'm speaking defensively, could have made a 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.280 play or had a mistake that cost us, including myself. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.040 So that's all. That's all on us. In the third quarter, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.080 the Jets tied the game on a field goal by 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:38.280 Matt Amondola, and Joe Burrow went to work. A fifty 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.760 four yard pass to Tee Higgins was the key play 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.919 on a seventy five yard drive for the league. Burrow 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:49.080 back to throw in the class pick touchdown pat goals 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.720 as he ran through a tackle at the two and 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.280 carried it into the end zone. For the score. Cincinnati 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.680 took a seven point lead to the fourth quarter. The 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.599 Jets kicked another field goal to make a twenty for twenty, 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.840 and Burrow answered again with another seventy five yard drive 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.440 that put the Bengals in the driver's seat. Two receivers left, 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.160 one right. Boy goes in motion. He'll line up to 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.640 the right. Burrow drops back to throw from the pocket. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.680 Pump Fix scrambles right, keeps his eyes down field. So 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:23.400 yone touchdown Tyler Boy near the sideline. Burrow buying time, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.480 and he delivers the ten yard td that made it 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.200 thirty one twenty with seven and a half minutes to 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.640 go against the league's lowest scoring team and its backup quarterback. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.440 The next eight plays were all short passes and the 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.520 Bengals couldn't stop any of them. Mike white is Ready's 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.600 catches the shotgun, staff back to throw again, short pass 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:50.000 caught by Ty Johnson's logan. Wilson fails to tackle him. 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.680 He tight ropes the sideline and a pair stepped out 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.120 of bounds at the two. After review, the runner did 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.360 not step out of bounds. It is a touchsdown. Yeah. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.119 The Jets went for two and failed it was thirty 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.720 one twenty six Bengals with four and a half minutes 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.480 to go. Here's Zach Taylor. You know that that's where 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.160 we needed a big stop. And they went down and 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.120 scored the six points to miss the two board version, 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.080 but they went down and scored, and really a stop 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.200 right there would have done it for us. And there's 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.640 a lot of misstacles on the drift, a lot of 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.640 miss tackles. In spite of everything, the Bengals were still 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.160 up by five with the ball in Burrows hands. But 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.840 even Joey franchise is human. Burrow under center on first 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.199 and ten fakes it tossed to the fuck that intercept 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.800 head Burrows pass was batted up in the air and 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:41.080 Shock Losson picks it off at the Cincinnati fourteen yard line. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.959 Oh man, that's about the third or fourth deflection. And 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.360 what you don't want to have happen is that the 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.559 Bengals defense needed to hold the Jets to a field 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.320 goal try two receivers left, three right, White catches the shotgun, 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.960 snaff cocks the arm clicking left throws into the twk 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.520 by Tyler Crows for a touchdown to get the Jets 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.600 the lead with three forty five to go, White open 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.520 broken coverage a Keen Davis Gaither trying to react back, 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.760 but way too late. The Jets added a two point 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.600 conversion by running the Philly Special as wide receiver Jamison 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.000 Crowder threw the ball back to the quarterback White to 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.360 make it thirty four to thirty one. Mike White finished 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.480 thirty seven for forty five that's eighty two percent and 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.440 passed for four hundred and five yards. That's the second 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.920 most yards in history by an NFL quarterback in his 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.440 first start. Cam Newton holds the record with four twenty two. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.079 According to ESPN Stats and Information, not one of White's 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:48.679 thirty seven completions traveled twenty yards in the air. Here's 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.960 Joe Burrow. They really well, and you know I told 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.199 him that after the game. You know, congrats to him 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.440 for start playing that way against our defense, who's been 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.480 really really good, you know, all seasons. No congrats to him. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.320 Nice excigning for him and his family. The Bengals still 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.040 had a chance. They were down by three with three 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.160 forty five to go. If they could get to roughly 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.439 the Jets forty, Evan McPherson would be within field goal range. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.640 But after driving to the fifty, the Bengals had to 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.199 punt and never got the ball back. They stopped the 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.559 Jets on third and eleven with one fifty three to 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.600 go and all of their time outs left, but Mike 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.240 Hilton was called for a questionable helmet to helmet hit 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.320 that allowed the Jets to run out the clock. Here's 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.880 Jesse Bates on the penalty. We were told not to 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.400 speak on that, but I mean you'll see that play. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.000 You'll turn on any game in this whole world. You'll 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.040 see that same exact play and covered two happens at 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.680 least ten times a game. The final score New York 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:53.360 thirty four, Cincinnati thirty one. The players and coaches said 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.800 all the right things during the week about respecting the 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.760 Jets and avoiding a letdown, but still allowed it to 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.319 have happened. Here's Sam Hubbard. I mean, you can talk 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.720 about all you want, Um, you know, until it happens. 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.520 You know, it's doesn't seem real, Like still doesn't seem real, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.599 but um, you know it's it happened. No matter what 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.120 you say, it's all about what you do. So that's 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.920 that's the reality of the situation. After the game, Tyler Boy, 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.960 Jesse Bates and Joe Mixon did something highly unusual. They 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.880 walked into the press room together. You know, we take 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.640 full responsibility for how we play. You know. I just 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:30.959 felt like like Joe was saying, like the message, um, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.960 then correlate to what we want to go out there 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.480 and do you know? But um, I don't. I'm not worrying. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.400 I know these guys not wearing either. We know what 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.040 type of a team we are. You know, we're not personally. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.079 I think we came out flat, but I think we 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.040 turned up after the first quarter offensively, you know. But 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.439 um again, they they they played a great game. But 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.319 at the end of the day, we know we're a 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.760 better team. I think we came up here together because 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.040 these are guys that's been here. We've been through the 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.959 bad part of this, you know, organization, and we know 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:03.839 that we got the right guys in here to do 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.160 the right thing. So hopefully the coaches can just continue 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.280 to believe in us as players and as players put 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.640 it out there on the field. So we're excited, Like 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.599 I said, we're gonna go into next week to do 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.680 what we want to do. We gotta win our division 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.040 and that's going through and knowing the division going into 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.160 a bide weekend will be huge. So, like I said, 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.800 these are my brothers, Um we get thirty four points. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.559 I'm sure they a little pissed off about that, as 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.920 they should m But like I said, we gotta get better. 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.600 We're together, and uh I got his back, he got 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.360 my back, saying with everybody and at the end of 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.160 the day, as captains, we gotta step up. We gotta 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.520 step up as leaders, and we gotta make sure the 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.960 team following and said, we got a huge game right 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.760 in front of us coming up, and I'm sure they 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.840 just came off of a loss and they're gonna want 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.599 us just as bad as we want them. So to 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.400 be honest, like I said, we together, we know what 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.840 to expect next week. We know we gotta play better. 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.680 We gotta be better, and we would make it happen. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.480 We gotta bounce back and we're gonna do it with 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.120 a vengeance. The Jets outgained the Bengals five eleven to three, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.560 eighteen and one the time of possession battle by nearly 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.839 thirteen minutes. After the game, Dave Lapham spent a few 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.320 minutes with Zach Taylor that was a tough one, man. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.439 I mean, that's a that's a hard one to take. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.240 I mean, particularly the way at the end of the 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.800 football game. I mean, and I know it shouldn't have 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.400 come down to that put in the officials hands, but man, 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.400 when it was put in his hands, that's a tough 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.240 call to make on Mike Hilton. I'm Mike played it 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.640 pretty well, but we shouldn't be putting ourselves in that 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.520 position for that cold matter. You know. On offense, we 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.559 left eleven points on the field and that should have 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.120 been enough to put this game wide open. Defensively or 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.040 tackling wasn't good enough. Special teams, we gave up return 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.400 before the half to put them in a position to 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.640 go score, and so we just didn't play well enough 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.480 to win on the road. Yeah, you mentioned just a 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.320 few right there. This is one of those games where 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.079 you can go back and you can find you a 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.840 myriad of things that you can say, Boy, we shouldn't 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.400 let it come down to this because of that, and 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.920 how all of that all of that works. Three takeaways 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.800 in the first half, I mean, they come in bunches, 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.360 and they came in a pretty good bunch there in 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.320 the first half. Of you. Yeah, you get three terms 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:09.480 in the first half, you should put a lot of 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:10.880 points on the board, you know, So to be on 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.120 the inch hard line come away with nothing on that 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.319 first turnover that they got Jesse's pick, and then you know, 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.080 we had another red zone third down where we should 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.400 have scored a touchdown and we didn't, you know, and 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:21.600 so we had to kick a field goal. And as 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.720 a four point player right there, so we should have 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.280 capitalized on those turnovers and try to put them away quickly, 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.280 and we didn't. The running game, or lack there of, obviously, 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.520 was a huge factor in the football game. It was. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.720 It wasn't really much that you could lean on in 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.560 that running game, was there. Yeah, you know, they do 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.160 a good job there. Interior defensive line's pretty good. We 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.040 just never gotten a great rhythm that first quarter. We 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.480 kind of got out of there with two normal down 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.800 calls in the first quarter, and so you know that 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.160 the second third quarter we had some decent runs in 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.400 there mixed in. We felt good about some of the 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.040 stuff in the past game. We just need to score 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.080 more points. Our defense is bailed us out plenty of times, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.520 and we need more than thirty one points today. Yeah, 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.720 that I guess that people are going to be like, well, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.600 what's what's up with that? I mean, Mike White is 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.080 his first NFL start. He throws for over four hundred yards. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.080 They get over five hundred yards as a as a 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.760 football team. But you saw, I mean Carter that that dude, 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.200 I mean that dude finish runs angry boy. He was 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.400 a finisher running the football. But like you said, the 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.200 tackling mechanics were less something to be desired. Yeah, they 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.240 played well in space. I thought our guys were oftentimes 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.320 a good position. Um again, I was happy that they 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.040 made those turnovers. We've been preaching that all week. We 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:26.840 need a big turnover game. They got us three of them. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.880 Offense should have given more and defense got to do 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.240 a better job tackling there in second half. So schematically, 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.920 did they do anything differently than you anticipated? I mean, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.640 I know the linebacker position got revamped on heartbeat. I mean, 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.160 you know, fifty seven comes back. That's a that's a 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.240 different deal. When he's out there on the football field, 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.400 he's a pretty good football player, as we know from 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.320 watching him in Baltimore. Their guys played hard. You know 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.400 they are in this one today. Give the credit to them. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.400 We did do enough to get the victory, and we 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:53.880 gotta be able to put this one behind us pretty 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.480 quickly and refocus on Cleveland. Yeah, that's that's I guess. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.160 The thing is the bounce back opportunity with the Cleveland Browns. 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.160 You're two and on in the division. You get Cleveland 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.560 at home and can make a you know, a big 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.680 statement in terms of division scenario with the three and 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.840 oh mark halfway through it. How how tough it will 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.520 it be for this football team. I mean, you know 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.600 them better than anybody, and you've talked about how you 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:20.640 know the the intangibles are so high with this football 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.680 team in terms of mentality and caring for each other 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.200 and all those kind of things. Bounce back quickly, do 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.040 you think? Yeah, that's what you're counting on, you know, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.160 with guys leading the charge on a loss like this, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.760 to be able to quickly refocus and get focused on 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.160 a new divisional opponent that we haven't played at the shore. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.960 I'm confident that our guys will appreciate it. Coach, Okay, thanks, 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.720 Rounds lost at home to the Steelers on Sunday fifteen 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.560 to ten, So Cleveland will come to Paul Brown Stadium 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.200 next Sunday. With a four and four record, Baker Mayfield 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.880 is playing with an injured left shoulder that will eventually 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.560 require surgery, but if anything will make it feel better, 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.680 it's the prospect of facing Cincinnati. In six starts against 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.920 the Bengals, Mayfield is five and one with seventeen touchdown 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.720 passes and a passer rating of one to eleven point four. 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.880 Now time for postgame analysis with lab all right, Lap, 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:13.880 you know it's going to be said after this game, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:18.560 coast to coast, the Bengals were sniffing the fumes of success. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.520 They didn't want it enough. Whatever expression you want to use, 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.960 how fair are those criticisms today? They're going to be fair, 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.960 you know, because they had an opportunity right there waiting 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.000 for him, and they decided to push, you know, push 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.800 away from the table. They were in the table of 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.040 feast or famine, and they decided to push away and 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.920 go famine for a week. It was unfortunate. I just 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.080 keep going back to the It doesn't come down to 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.359 one play, but I just keep going back to the 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:50.520 Mike Hilton hit call off setting. He lowered his head, 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.600 Hilton lowered his They both lowered their head. It can 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.400 be called on a running back who lowers his head 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.000 to target on the perimeter as well. If you're going 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.359 to make a game changing call like that, don't make 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.720 it game changing one way. You know, if you thought 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.640 you saw something that looked a little if you call 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.760 it off setting, call it both ways and let the 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.800 players decide the game. But they shouldn't have been in 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.320 that position. They shouldn't have put in that's themselves in 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:20.000 that position anyway. But with that said, the officials, you 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.480 know you don't as an official. If I were an official, 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.639 I would not want to be the guy that, basically, 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.200 in a lot of people's opinion, determined the outcome of 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.600 the game. So and I think there was a way 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.440 around it. I call it off setting penalties. As I 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.040 look back on it, I thought it was a bad call, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.359 no if sands or butts, But it sounds like whining 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.119 when you're on the on the wrong side of a 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.720 call like that. I thought the Jets, for lack of 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.879 a better term, were the more violent team. They were 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:49.000 physical upfront, they're running back ran angry. I just thought 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.640 in every way they were the team that just had 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.840 that edge more in this game. I agreed, Dan, you know, 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.600 and I give credit to the entire Jets organization, their 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.800 head coach, all these all the coordinators, all the assistance. 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.920 The Jets played like the game was more important to 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.879 them than the five and two number one seed in 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.640 the AFC, Cincinnati Bengals, And how can that be? How 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.960 can that be? So I agree with you. They came 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:22.240 out and after being embarrassed by the Patriots, their professional 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.320 pride was wounded and sometimes wounded animals the most dangerous 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.120 animal there is. And they were I mean they were. 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.320 They wanted to make restitution, and they played harder and 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.399 I thought they they you know, they set the tempo. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.320 They were there. They're more physical football team, particularly at 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.640 the line of scrimmage, at both sides of the line 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:45.480 of scrimmage. We talked about that a bunch during the 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.800 course of the game, and I mean, you're first in 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.960 goal on the inch line and you're going backwards, come on, man, 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:55.240 you know just that the tone was set on that 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.040 goal line standing. I mean that that's when they got 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.200 on a score and then the reception puts them with 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.920 their backs against the wall and they said, we're fine. 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.119 I mean that that sent at that point, you know, 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.320 or you should know, you have a fight on your hands. 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.840 And and you know, I got the Bengals righted themselves 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.000 and took double digit leads more than once in the game. 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.480 Got to give the Jets credit, though, they came back 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.520 and won the football game. And that's a nature abuse 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.200 in the National Football League. I know, I said it 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.800 a bunch during the broadcast. What I gotta say it again. 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.200 I cannot believe they had three takeaways in the first 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.440 half and scored fourteen points because the takeaways were short field. 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.119 I mean camping in shorter field in this side, in 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.920 the one yard line and then they're inside the twenty 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.639 again in the red zone on a takeaway. You know, 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:51.800 to throw away short field field position opportunities like that 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:53.800 are going to come back to bite you. And it 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.320 bit them squarely on the cheeks. So Mike White in 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.960 his first start passed for four hundred and five yards. 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.600 The Jets had five twelve. As a team, they came 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:06.359
