Speaker 1: Lamar in the pocket, that's caught in a lot of
Speaker 1: traffic by Nelsonmandalor to the end zone. Summersault touchdown play o'
Speaker 1: Clockett won to get it off and into the end zone.
Speaker 1: Those edwards to the touchdown because the Crofts used to replating.
Speaker 1: Here's Burrow shaking his head after trying to throw on
Speaker 1: the sideline. You could tell there's a problem.
Speaker 2: Oh, there is a problem for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, problem for us, the football fans watching
Speaker 3: Thursday night football because we are excited for a showdown
Speaker 3: between two AFC North Titans. But Burrow's wrist injury, which
Speaker 3: knocked him out late in the first half, kind of
Speaker 3: put the curtains on this game. A thirty four to
Speaker 3: twenty win for the Ravens, who pretty much cruise after
Speaker 3: the touchdown that put them ahead. That kind of coincided
Speaker 3: with Burrow on the sideline trying to get some throws off.
Speaker 3: You can't even grip the football, and you know you
Speaker 3: saw it on his face. A lot of frustration and concern.
Speaker 3: Dan Hans is here around the NFL with Greg Rosenthal.
Speaker 3: The Ravens moved to eight and three. Greg, they not
Speaker 3: only further kind of entrenched themselves a top football's most
Speaker 3: competitive division, they might have put Cincinnati into a potential
Speaker 3: death spiral here, especially as we await word on Burrow's health.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're taping this right after the show, so by
Speaker 4: the time you guys listen to this, maybe they will
Speaker 4: be more report reporting out. Maybe there'll be more news.
Speaker 4: We'll keep an eye on it. I think we got
Speaker 4: to just start with Burrow and the Bengals. I want
Speaker 4: to get to the Ravens. We always want to get
Speaker 4: to the winning team who was a big game.
Speaker 2: But this is one of the.
Speaker 4: Biggest stories in the league this year. He shows up
Speaker 4: to Baltimore coming off the plane because of this local
Speaker 4: footage that was shown in Cincinnat with some sort of
Speaker 4: what looks like a brace on his wrist, And even
Speaker 4: the Bengals tweeted out like, oh look at Joe Swag,
Speaker 4: you know, walking in on Twitter that showed he had
Speaker 4: something on his wrist before the game. And then they
Speaker 4: deleted it and and Twitter went crazy about it. And
Speaker 4: the brace thing from the local news actually was a
Speaker 4: day before. And I saw a clip from Chris Long
Speaker 4: who went through all the all twenty two from the
Speaker 4: week before looking for the play and he thinks he
Speaker 4: found it. Actually, like the second play of the game
Speaker 4: against the Texans, and Burrow came off the field shaking
Speaker 4: his wrist and he obviously played through it last week,
Speaker 4: but there was something. So he came into the game
Speaker 4: apparently with something despite not being on the injury report,
Speaker 4: and yet Dan he played magnificent. I think early in
Speaker 4: this game, the touchdown drive that they had to me
Speaker 4: was Pete Burrow picking out mismatches almost just like perfect,
Speaker 4: like knowing exactly what throws to make and beating a
Speaker 4: really good Ray's pass rush. So when he walked off
Speaker 4: the field and it happened in the second quarter when
Speaker 4: they went up ten to seven after that drive, the
Speaker 4: last thing you thought was he was injured. And then
Speaker 4: you see him that he got hurt on that last
Speaker 4: play when he threw the touchdown on the touchdown play,
Speaker 4: and that preceded what Al said on the sideline, and
Speaker 4: you just wonder if this is it for this team.
Speaker 4: There's no way to know about how long he's going
Speaker 4: to be out for the injuries. But even if he's
Speaker 4: not out, let's just say where they are right now.
Speaker 4: They're five and five. They're zero to three in the division,
Speaker 4: they're one in five in the conference. They do not
Speaker 4: have a game in the rest of their schedule Dan
Speaker 4: against a team with a losing record, So it's all
Speaker 4: five hundred and above moving forward. And it just took
Speaker 4: the total error out of what felt like was going
Speaker 4: to be one of the defining, like most exciting games
Speaker 4: of the season.
Speaker 3: I should have known this is going to happen when
Speaker 3: I locked up Cincinnati. My cursed lock season continues and
Speaker 3: Greg blessed.
Speaker 2: Every every week something breaks your way, and this time
Speaker 2: it was Joe Burrow's risk. Congratulations.
Speaker 3: Bengals head coach Zach Taylor told reports reporters after the
Speaker 3: game that they believe that Burrow has sprained right risk.
Speaker 3: Rapaport rap Sheet reported that he suffered the injury after
Speaker 3: he fell on it early in the game. Another other
Speaker 3: big injury news on the other side, John Harborough set
Speaker 3: after the game that Mark Andrews the season is over.
Speaker 3: The star tight end has an ankle injury that will
Speaker 3: end his season. So that's a huge setback for the Ravens.
Speaker 3: Obviously kind of a crushing setback. So you know and
Speaker 3: guess what this is this is Thursday night football, unfortunately.
Speaker 3: And then there's all these reasons why Thursday night football
Speaker 3: is a great thing for the NFL and it's making
Speaker 3: gobs of money.
Speaker 2: But the injuries are a part of it.
Speaker 3: And you know they're going to go into spin mode
Speaker 3: here Cincinnati about Burrow's wrist injury because they are in
Speaker 3: line to to be facing league discipline if they did
Speaker 3: not put him on the injury report.
Speaker 4: And they're getting it, and listen like this, they're getting it.
Speaker 4: They're getting fined.
Speaker 2: Let's be real here, flash, let's be let's be real here.
Speaker 2: We're as a league.
Speaker 3: They're they're suspending players for weeks and hundreds of thousands
Speaker 3: of dollars and fines for unpip paid suspensions for gambling
Speaker 3: on other sports. And if there are teams that are
Speaker 3: hiding a superstar quarterback's wrist injury going to Thursday night football,
Speaker 3: how is that not just as bad when you look
Speaker 3: in from the context of gambling. Here's some sound from
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh on the Mark Andrews injury, which again is
Speaker 3: a huge one for Baltimore.
Speaker 5: I do it one injury announcement to make. Unfortunately, on
Speaker 5: the negative side, Mark Andrews has a very serious ankle injury.
Speaker 5: It looks like a season ending injury. So our prayers
Speaker 5: will be with Mark. He nobody cares more about the
Speaker 5: team and UH and being there for the guys and
Speaker 5: Mark Andrews. So it's gonna be hard for him, but
Speaker 5: we're gonna be there for him all the way.
Speaker 3: What a bummer, Greg that they had a stat and
Speaker 3: they did pretty well in general moving the ball today.
Speaker 3: I don't want to take take anything away from Baltimore
Speaker 3: in terms of their offense, which which played well in
Speaker 3: this game, but there's a lot of data points of
Speaker 3: the difference in this offense when Lamar and Andrews are
Speaker 3: not together. They came into the league together. In terms
Speaker 3: of chemistry between a QB and tight end, there are
Speaker 3: a few that possess as much as these guys. So
Speaker 3: to take Andrews out of the mix, even with the
Speaker 3: emergence of like an Odell Beckham and a Keaton Mitchell,
Speaker 3: these guys, they're not the same without him.
Speaker 4: No, I for some reason wasn't ready for that news
Speaker 4: at all. I know they ruled him out quickly, but
Speaker 4: I was thinking maybe high ankle sprain. He gets back.
Speaker 4: You know in a handful of weeks they play Isaiah
Speaker 4: likely a ton of snaps tonight. He ended up having
Speaker 4: two targets, did not have a catch. That is a
Speaker 4: huge loss. The Bengals lost Cam Taylor Britt, their number
Speaker 4: one cornerback, who saved a touchdown on a deep throw
Speaker 4: maybe Lamar's best throw the night. It was one of
Speaker 4: those beauties where if you're watching on the next gen
Speaker 4: Stet's prime vision, it's just a thing of beauty. I mean,
Speaker 4: that was a dart was gonna be a touchdown debateman
Speaker 4: that Taylor Britt did a great job catching up on
Speaker 4: and not gonna wait. He's easily their best cornerback. They
Speaker 4: also lost bj Hill, but Andrews, Yeah, take some juice
Speaker 4: out of their offense and is gonna put even more
Speaker 4: onto what for the most part did well tonight, which
Speaker 4: was the explosive passing game. I do want to get
Speaker 4: back to Burrow later, but while we're talking about it,
Speaker 4: I think the Ravens came into tonight thinking, let's attack
Speaker 4: this Bengals secondary deep. That's how they've been losing lately.
Speaker 4: Let's actually not focus on the running game early in
Speaker 4: this game. Let's pass to throw up the run it
Speaker 4: and it was kind of an uneven first half. They
Speaker 4: had some quick drives, but they also had two drives
Speaker 4: with a bunch of explosive plays, and Odell Beckham ends
Speaker 4: up with four for one sixteen. He's on the Amazon
Speaker 4: Prime set right now, so I don't think the shoulder
Speaker 4: injury at the end of the game was a big deal.
Speaker 4: He has two explosive plays. Say Flowers has a thirty
Speaker 4: three yarder on the first drive, Agilar gets that weird
Speaker 4: pass that was a thirty seven yarder, but there was
Speaker 4: also the Flowers seventy yard play that was overturned by
Speaker 4: a bogus penalty, And so this has been an explosive
Speaker 4: passing game and the Bengals defense has given up more
Speaker 4: explosive plays than any team in the NFL. It's kind
Speaker 4: of hard to believe. And that includes runs. And they
Speaker 4: gave up a run of twenty six to Edwards and
Speaker 4: twenty one to Mitchell, so they are having major problems.
Speaker 4: This matchup has been bad for them, and I know
Speaker 4: there was injuries in both of the games, but the
Speaker 4: Ravens under Harbaugh have done very well against the Zach
Speaker 4: Taylor Bengals and especially offensively. Look, it would have been
Speaker 4: tough for the Bengals to win this game even with Brow.
Speaker 4: I just would have liked to see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And by the way, that was Odell's first one
Speaker 3: hundred yard games since the twenty twenty one NFC title game,
Speaker 3: So he really has been coming on and that's that's
Speaker 3: good for them, especially with Andrews exiting the picture. You're
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just bummed because the Cincinnati's winning. They're
Speaker 3: winning the game, and it's looking like, uh, we're going
Speaker 3: to have a great back and forth affair.
Speaker 2: When Burrow go.
Speaker 3: Heads to the sideline, I don't know if I missed
Speaker 3: it because I was a little bit behind, so I
Speaker 3: was fast forwarding through commercials, and I when Burrow hits
Speaker 3: mixing in the flat for the touchdown, you kind of
Speaker 3: see Burrow in the background, like almost doubling over. And
Speaker 3: I don't know if they ever went back to that replay,
Speaker 3: and if if they didn't, that's a bad job by Amazon. Okay,
Speaker 3: so I don't bury them then, but like so, and
Speaker 3: then you know, they cut to the sidelines and you
Speaker 3: see him unable to grip the ball, and the thing
Speaker 3: is and we're not doctors. You know, our mothers, both
Speaker 3: debbies would wish that we were, but we're not. When
Speaker 3: and there's a sprain involved, that could be a lot
Speaker 3: of things, including a ligament damage. So there's gonna be
Speaker 3: MRIs and he is far from out of the woods.
Speaker 3: We just don't know like what exactly is going on.
Speaker 3: And like I said, rap Sheet reported what I'm sure
Speaker 3: the Bengals are putting out there that he the injury
Speaker 3: happened tonight when he went and landed awkwardly on the wrist.
Speaker 3: But there's going to be a lot of there's going
Speaker 3: to be a lot of zapruder film studying of the
Speaker 3: actual situation.
Speaker 2: And it should also be known that Zach Taylor.
Speaker 3: Also feigned ignorance when he was asked after the game
Speaker 3: about the video that you're referencing that the social team
Speaker 3: put out.
Speaker 2: What it will cover up is on Greg this is.
Speaker 4: Wild Well one wanted to be clear, was from a
Speaker 4: local news organization, one of their local TV stations, so
Speaker 4: they had it. They didn't take it down, you know,
Speaker 4: they didn't need to take it down. They had the footage.
Speaker 4: And I think Chris Long. I watched Chris Long's video
Speaker 4: and it was pretty compelling. He showed the All twenty
Speaker 4: two and they showed Burro shaking it from last and
Speaker 4: the brace is the brace. Now to your point, which
Speaker 4: play did he get it hurt on tonight? He did
Speaker 4: hurt it again tonight, So I don't doubt that he
Speaker 4: re injured something that was already bothering him. And as
Speaker 4: they pointed out, I thought he played well. I'm seeing
Speaker 4: some conspiracy theorists saying like, oh, he was off, his
Speaker 4: accuracy was off even before this. The betters that are angry.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's true. I think he was excellent
Speaker 4: because I think the Ravens pass rush was winning almost
Speaker 4: every snap the first three drives, and yet they got
Speaker 4: a field goal, a missfield goal attempt, and a touchdown
Speaker 4: and that was mostly because of Burns quick thinking and
Speaker 4: brilliant So I think he was playing well, but the
Speaker 4: injury happened. I'm pretty sure on the second to last
Speaker 4: play that he was on the field for it was
Speaker 4: a completion to mix In where Clowney hit him to
Speaker 4: the ground after he let go of the ball, and
Speaker 4: it looked like he reinjured it on that one. And
Speaker 4: then on a touchdown pass you could see he was
Speaker 4: in a ton of pain after making that pass. He
Speaker 4: fought through it for one more play through the touchdown,
Speaker 4: and that was it. And you don't want to think
Speaker 4: that this is just their season. And I guess if
Speaker 4: he we're just back to where we were, where we
Speaker 4: won't know, maybe he's gonna play, maybe he won't be
Speaker 4: one hundred percent, and we're right back to that, and
Speaker 4: so maybe it's not totally over, but we're It's very
Speaker 4: frustrating that at best we're back to where we were
Speaker 4: when he was fighting through this other injury and we're
Speaker 4: just gonna be seeing how much it hampers him. And
Speaker 4: I don't know, I have a sinking feeling it's gonna
Speaker 4: be worse than that. Yeah, this has been It's interesting
Speaker 4: that last year's two teams going into.
Speaker 3: The playoffs that I think a lot of people or
Speaker 3: there are three obviously with the Chiefs, but the Bills
Speaker 3: and Bengals are We're seen as the big three with
Speaker 3: the Chiefs in the AFC, and we've documented Buffalo's struggles
Speaker 3: this season all week and now Cincinnati they don't. They
Speaker 3: have some excuses built in that Buffalo doesn't because of
Speaker 3: the quarterback injury situation.
Speaker 2: But there's no way around it.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a very disappointing team right now,
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's gonna take if if he's seriously injured,
Speaker 3: it's over. And you just hate that because I think
Speaker 3: there was another chapter to the Cincinnati season with Burrow
Speaker 3: putting the team on his back. But if he's not
Speaker 3: gonna be healthy, you know, there's no Josh Dobbs on
Speaker 3: this roster that you know, we saw some of Browning
Speaker 3: today that he didn't He didn't inspire much in the
Speaker 3: way of confidence. It's tough environment Browning to enter that game,
Speaker 3: and he did get a garbage time touchdown to Jamar Chase.
Speaker 3: This helps some fantasy people out there, but otherwise, tough situation.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you, Randy Chevez. Big funk Wow, Okay, I
Speaker 3: see I exactly as they went to break, Zeuser had
Speaker 3: already hit the fast forward button. It's showing his follow
Speaker 3: through and he's look it looks like he's an agony as.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, when they try to throw on the sideline too,
Speaker 4: he looks so bad.
Speaker 2: And I'm with you.
Speaker 4: When you lose a great quarterback in Burrow's no question
Speaker 4: Top five, I've it hurts the league in general. I
Speaker 4: was growing increasingly dubious that this Bengals team had enough
Speaker 4: to make the super Bowl. It doesn't mean they wouldn't
Speaker 4: win a playoff game, doesn't mean they wouldn't be in
Speaker 4: the mix and in some great games and in some shootouts.
Speaker 4: But this defense, like Chadobi, a woozie who was a
Speaker 4: great player for them before he got hurt again last year,
Speaker 4: has not been the same. He was benched in this
Speaker 4: game and has given up a ton of big plays.
Speaker 4: That the defense is giving up just a ton of
Speaker 4: big plays week after week. And when I watched Burrow
Speaker 4: against a good pass rush, their pass protection stinks. It's
Speaker 4: like old times, And so that's a lot to overcome.
Speaker 4: Burrow would overcome a lot. They're running the ball pretty well,
Speaker 4: they can run block well like they It's not like
Speaker 4: they were berefed of talent, but they they seemed a
Speaker 4: little more problematic as a team around Burrow this season
Speaker 4: to me than they had been in the past. I
Speaker 4: think you showed I think you saw that tonight. I
Speaker 4: mean they gave up you know, thirty what did they
Speaker 4: give up thirty four points? I know Burrow's injury is
Speaker 4: like part of that that they couldn't hold onto the ball. Now,
Speaker 4: that took the wind out of the sales for that team.
Speaker 4: You could tell I don't want to make excuses. I
Speaker 4: hear you, but they were given that they give up.
Speaker 4: They gave up three big plays before that too, and
Speaker 4: two touchdowns. Browning was losing the game too when they came.
Speaker 4: I'm with you, like it's a bit of an excuse,
Speaker 4: but that's not the excuse for last week. My point
Speaker 4: is they played two big time offenses back to back weeks,
Speaker 4: big time quarterbacks, and they got fileted by both of them.
Speaker 3: All right, Let's see one other thing. The same player
Speaker 3: involved on the Mark Andrews tackle, who's the it was
Speaker 3: a linebacker for Cincinnati, was also the same linebacker that
Speaker 3: tackled Lamar near the sideline and sent him to the
Speaker 3: sidelines briefly with an ankle injury. But it was the
Speaker 3: Andrews tackle that's and Mike Garfolo's tweeting about it right now.
Speaker 3: The hip drop tack, which is when you kind of
Speaker 3: it's almost like you kind of saddle up on the
Speaker 3: guy and pull him down.
Speaker 2: That creates awkward angles.
Speaker 3: That's what happened on the Andrews play, John Harbaugh said,
Speaker 3: was it even necessary in that situation? So that has
Speaker 3: been a point of discussion that tackle with a competition committee.
Speaker 3: And now that a star player like Andrews is lost
Speaker 3: for the season in primetime, sometimes that pushes those type
Speaker 3: of things over the finish line. So keep an eye
Speaker 3: on that and when it comes time for the competition
Speaker 3: committee and the and the owners to vote on safety
Speaker 3: changes ahead of next season, anything else. Greg on this game,
Speaker 3: I am I'm furious. This is the first time I'm
Speaker 3: mad about a lock because not only did I feel
Speaker 3: good about the lock off, Greg, I was like one
Speaker 3: of those things you get to like root along with
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow in primetime in a huge division game. So
Speaker 3: to have that all kind of swiped away, it all,
Speaker 3: it all feels like a like an ugly Thursday night,
Speaker 3: and the Andrews injury just compounds that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you already heard that. You're double you're double banging
Speaker 4: him there, Javis, Well, I guess he just brought it.
Speaker 2: It's all right, you know that is Uh, the funk
Speaker 2: has that right because he's doing a great job for us,
Speaker 2: he absolutely is.
Speaker 4: And I I did not enjoy it was Logan Wilson.
Speaker 4: By the way, Logan Wilson, you know, the good, very
Speaker 4: good you know, Bengals linebacker who got picked him up
Speaker 4: by his britches. No, well, just you know, anytime Logan
Speaker 4: Wilson comes up for the rest of his career, I'm
Speaker 4: going to think of the holding call he had in
Speaker 4: the end zone that you know, potentially he's flipped the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. And I was thinking about that night tonight,
Speaker 4: and I think about that with all these teams that
Speaker 4: get close that it it just in that you think
Speaker 4: about it with the Bills in that game against the Chiefs,
Speaker 4: It's just it's so hard to get back to that point.
Speaker 4: And I always thought that was kind of a bogus
Speaker 4: Logan Wilson call. It was a bad night for the refs,
Speaker 4: by the way. I mean, there was a lot going
Speaker 4: on in this game that the holding call on Beckham
Speaker 4: that negated a seventy yard z A Flowers touchdown was
Speaker 4: one of the worst calls of the season. And then
Speaker 4: there was about two or three PI calls against the Bengals,
Speaker 4: So it went both ways. Is that extended that Ravens
Speaker 4: touchdown drive at the end of the I.
Speaker 3: Mean the second one they put the game away essentially
Speaker 3: after Burrow was out. A total phantom call, right, and
Speaker 3: there's nothing we could say about it because we're not
Speaker 3: going to ever go back to instant replays. But that is, like,
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a whatever it was, twenty thirty yard
Speaker 3: penalty that that really sets up the knockout punch for
Speaker 3: the Ravens at the end of the half.
Speaker 4: I do want to give a little bit of credit,
Speaker 4: you know, even early in the scheme when Burrow was
Speaker 4: out there, like Kyle Hamilton is making play after play
Speaker 4: after play. He's he's been a pro bowler. He's turned
Speaker 4: into a big time player for them. And Brandon Stevens
Speaker 4: was opposite Chase all night and even early, Like I know,
Speaker 4: it's tough to evaluate. Once Browning came in, he was
Speaker 4: a little better than I expected, but still look like
Speaker 4: a backup. But they just have guys making plays a Dafeoway,
Speaker 4: they've been hoping to get a pass. Rush has had
Speaker 4: a sack and three straight games Clowney made bouque like
Speaker 4: they were winning early. I liked my lock going into
Speaker 4: the night too, because I really would pull believe that
Speaker 4: the Ravens are a step above the Bengals. We won't
Speaker 4: get to find out, and so I take no solace
Speaker 4: in it. But there are a lot of pieces here.
Speaker 4: I think now with the Bells and the Bengals kind
Speaker 4: of falling off, you really do see it opening up.
Speaker 4: As with them, they're eight and three now as the favorite,
Speaker 4: you know, behind Kansas City or with Kansas City, but
Speaker 4: they're kind of separating themselves a little bit.
Speaker 2: AFC is crazy. I really wish. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I havem on record here, so I will.
Speaker 3: I really wish Aaron Rodgers didn't tear as Achilles tendon
Speaker 3: on the fourth.
Speaker 2: Play of the season.
Speaker 3: By the way, hat trick for Logan Wilson. I was
Speaker 3: not aware of this funk. Thanks for the heads up.
Speaker 3: The Bengals linebacker also had the hard tackle on Odell
Speaker 3: Beckham late in the game that sent him to the
Speaker 3: sideline wincing in pain. So in one night, Logan Wilson
Speaker 3: injured Odell Beckham, Mark Andrews, and Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2: That's I don't know, man, I don't know. How how
Speaker 2: do you sleep well at night? Logan?
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I know, the the Andrews tackle
Speaker 3: was a little dicey, but it's legal street legal, but
Speaker 3: that's kind of a destructive Thursday and a losing effort
Speaker 3: that the.
Speaker 4: The Lamar one was, you know, on the sideline. I
Speaker 4: don't know if it was a late hit, but it
Speaker 4: was on the sideline. Lamar Lamar had ice on his ankle,
Speaker 4: was heating it the rest of the game, but he
Speaker 4: did did play through it. He looked a little less
Speaker 4: nimble than he normally does, even though he still ran
Speaker 4: for was he.
Speaker 2: Even wearing cleats tonight? Like what was going on with
Speaker 2: him on the.
Speaker 4: He kept slipping and falling. So Toke and Mitchell a
Speaker 4: weird game.
Speaker 2: I didn't like it. It really liked it.
Speaker 4: The crowd was amazing, I thought, and it impacted the
Speaker 4: game early all those delay of games and the false start.
Speaker 4: They just seemed just felt like like it was the
Speaker 4: loudest crowd of the night. And then there was a
Speaker 4: next gen stats stat I wanted to point out to you, Dan.
Speaker 3: You're just like you were just like talking over my
Speaker 3: disappointment with the game by how great the crowd was.
Speaker 4: That's good, Oh, I like this was the most memorable
Speaker 4: crowd performance maybe of the season. There was one in Seattle.
Speaker 4: They were just so loud. It was crazy. You don't
Speaker 4: think they were so loud, and they were. They were
Speaker 4: really messing with the Bengals, including when Burrow was out there.
Speaker 4: They couldn't get a play on time. And then there's
Speaker 4: false start, there were delayed games, there were timeouts. I'm
Speaker 4: just saying they came out hot.
Speaker 3: It was a good crowd. Ravens, whatever you guys call yourselves,
Speaker 3: the flock, you definitely did bring it. Love that rivalry.
Speaker 4: Here's here's just a stat with no real connection to
Speaker 4: this game, but I found it amazing, and as the
Speaker 4: owner of the Kicker Club, I thought you would too.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know there was a field goals over
Speaker 4: expected stat. Did you know this?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: I didn't know there was. This is the real thing.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Tucker going into tonight had forty five point eight field
Speaker 4: goals over expected since he entered the league. That is double,
Speaker 4: nearly double any other kicker in the NFL since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: Double.
Speaker 4: He's more dominant compared to his competition at his position
Speaker 4: than anyone maybe in any sport. You know, I get
Speaker 4: any position, it's nearly double. That's pretty it's pretty cood.
Speaker 2: I know he has the the record, and you know,
Speaker 2: the sixty six yard and everything.
Speaker 3: But the thing that I've always loved the most about
Speaker 3: Tucker is just how automatic he is at the part
Speaker 3: of the field where most kickers are basically coin flip
Speaker 3: like his his accuracy, you know, from forty eight to
Speaker 3: fifty two is just otherworldly. I know he has a
Speaker 3: weird it's a kind of a weird funky stat this
Speaker 3: year that he's one of five I believe on fifty
Speaker 3: yarders this year, But there's a couple of blocks in there.
Speaker 3: Like he's he's a joy to watch, and he hasn't
Speaker 3: really had his big moment yet this season. He's just
Speaker 3: chugging along, but it's coming. He's gonna win a couple
Speaker 3: of games for them.
Speaker 4: Before let's say, let's get him in a it could
Speaker 4: be his first chance to play in like an AFC
Speaker 4: championship type of moment we have. We haven't seeing that
Speaker 4: out of justin Tucker's correct.
Speaker 2: Well, your quarterback's going to need to step up in
Speaker 2: the crucible, my friend.
Speaker 4: I know we're often on the TV be and I
Speaker 4: know you gotta you gotta catch a bird. You're going
Speaker 4: to New York tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I got an early early flight, Yes, with my two sons.
Speaker 4: But I did find it notable Carissa Thompson. After that appearance,
Speaker 4: she had on on part in My Take where she
Speaker 4: admitted to sometimes making up interviews with coaches. I did
Speaker 4: find it interesting. She still broadcasts the game here with Amazon.
Speaker 4: I do wonder if the game had been one day
Speaker 4: later with all the reaction that that's happened. And I
Speaker 4: think a lot of it, you know, well said is
Speaker 4: kind of the whole thing. Was mystifying that that she
Speaker 4: would have said that, that she would have done that.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that would have been different. So
Speaker 4: it's just as someone, as you know, we watched this
Speaker 4: stuff closely. It's a it's an interesting sports media one
Speaker 4: to watch, oh for sure.
Speaker 2: And she's getting absolutely killed. So I'm not going to
Speaker 2: pile on.
Speaker 3: But I will say this because I as a somebody
Speaker 3: who grew up listening to Howard Stern. Sometimes you'll see
Speaker 3: a guest go on a show like that or in
Speaker 3: this case PFT and Big Cat the Barstool Podcast, and
Speaker 3: because they know that the type of what the audience
Speaker 3: is or what the vibe of the show is, they
Speaker 3: try to be extra a reverend or edgy or kind
Speaker 3: of try to present themselves in a light that makes
Speaker 3: them seem cool, and you end up just kind of
Speaker 3: sticking your foot in your mouth. And I think that's
Speaker 3: what happened with Thompson. Apparently she said she'd said something
Speaker 3: like that in the past, but that podcast has a
Speaker 3: huge audience, and she was asking for trouble and now.
Speaker 2: She's got it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the lack of judgment to say it is. I'm
Speaker 4: not saying it's worse than doing it in the first place,
Speaker 4: but it's telling.
Speaker 2: Very fair.
Speaker 3: All right, Uh, real quick, last word, Lamar Jackson talking
Speaker 3: about that's sore ankle.
Speaker 2: He has to be all right. He didn't miss a snap.
Speaker 2: But let's hear what Lamar had to say. But I'm good.
Speaker 2: We need to start talking about his ankle.
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 2: You see I just walked up here. I'm good. We
Speaker 2: ain't gonna talk noney to his existence, you know, speaking
Speaker 2: one it to his sistors.
Speaker 4: I'm good. Lamar's been so happy this year. There really
Speaker 4: is a difference among him with this contract and everything.
Speaker 4: Like he it is press conferences. It's just been like
Speaker 4: he's loving life.
Speaker 2: And yeah, he kind of already talks like an eighty
Speaker 2: three year old grandfather.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what he's gonna sound like when
Speaker 3: he actually is old, but uh yeah, I think he
Speaker 3: should know. The reason people are asking is because like
Speaker 3: the last two years the Ravens had were seven and
Speaker 3: three also now they're eight and three, and he got
Speaker 3: hurt in their entire season, literally went up in flames.
Speaker 3: So obviously the beat reporters is gonna be a little
Speaker 3: keyed in on that, uh situation.
Speaker 2: But he looked good. He sounds optimistic that he won't
Speaker 2: miss any time anything else.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 2: Let's go, buddy, all right.
Speaker 3: I will see you via the magic of the Internet
Speaker 3: on Sunday on the other side of the country. Until then, everybody,
Speaker 3: check out NFL Plus where we had our latest streamatorium episode,
