Speaker 1: brand carry on suitcase. As you probably know. I travel
Speaker 1: quite a bit for work, and one of my cardinal
Speaker 1: rules is to never check a bag on a flight,
Speaker 1: even on a long trip. I would rather do laundry
Speaker 1: on the road than wait at baggage claim or worse,
Speaker 1: deal with lost luggage. Well. One of my Christmas gifts
Speaker 1: this year was a carry on suitcase made by a
Speaker 1: company named Away, and it's awesome. It's lightweight but durable,
Speaker 1: and while it's small enough to fit into a typical
Speaker 1: carry on compartment, it somehow seems to have extra space
Speaker 1: when you open it. So if you're in the market
Speaker 1: for a new suitcase, I recommend checking out away travel
Speaker 1: dot com. Now time for the radio relays from Saturdays.
Speaker 1: Had to have it win in Pittsburgh. It is the
Speaker 1: final night of the regular season for the Cincinnati Bengals,
Speaker 1: and in order to have any chance of advancing to
Speaker 1: the playoffs next week, they must beat the Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 1: tonight on a bitterly cold and wintry evening in the

Speaker 1: yards away. Adamidas, who played here at pitt snaps it back.
Speaker 1: The kick is on its way. It is good. Kay

Speaker 1: is the returner for the Steelers. He's dangerous. Rico, the
Speaker 1: rookie out of Byu. Hammer's a long, long punt, back
Speaker 1: pedaling all the way to the twenty five. To catch
Speaker 1: it is Austin running to the thirty. The ball comes
Speaker 1: out at the thirty three yard line. They got it.
Speaker 2: They got it.
Speaker 1: No official indication yet.
Speaker 2: I saw a fall on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do it, and there it is.
Speaker 2: They got it.
Speaker 1: Higgins out to the left, Three receivers out to the right,
Speaker 1: including Chase nearest to the offensive line, Cam Grandy and
Speaker 1: Gasiki also out to the right. Burrow with a quick
Speaker 1: throw and it is nearly picked off by Queen and
Speaker 1: it is deflected toward a teammate and intercepted.
Speaker 2: Wow wow, I mean that was a great you talk
Speaker 2: about staying with the ball. Beanie Bishop Junior comes away
Speaker 2: with the football.
Speaker 1: Wilson is under center. See if he actually runs a
Speaker 1: play on fourth and one. He touches both sides of
Speaker 1: his helmet, hasn't snapped it yet. Now he does hands
Speaker 1: it off. The Bengals get into the backfield to.
Speaker 3: Make the tackle.
Speaker 1: They stopped him.
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's getting a good spot. He's getting
Speaker 2: a good spot.
Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, wow, man, my mistake. After review, the
Speaker 1: runner was short of the line. The game first down Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Boore I withdraw my apology. Burrow in the gun, Herbert
Speaker 1: to his left. It's a two by two formation. Chase
Speaker 1: out wide to the right, Higgins out wide to the left.
Speaker 1: Burrow throwing deep for Higgins. He leaps and comes down
Speaker 1: to the ball inside the ten. He stops the clock
Speaker 1: as he goes out of bounds at the nine. The snap,
Speaker 1: the placement, and the right footed dick. It is good
Speaker 1: and the Bengals have a six point lead, thirteen to seven,
Speaker 1: with sixteen seconds left in the half. All right, here
Speaker 1: comes a thirty five yard field goal attempt for Cad York,
Speaker 1: trying to give Cincinnati a sixteen to seven lead. Rico
Speaker 1: catches places the ball down. The kick is on its
Speaker 1: way and it is good and the Bengals lead the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers by nine, sixteen to seven. It is second
Speaker 1: down and five from the Pittsburgh forty one. Chase goes
Speaker 1: in motion, winds up wide to the left. They throw
Speaker 1: it deep for Jamar. What an adjustment to the ball
Speaker 1: as he stops on a dime, comes back to the
Speaker 1: ball and beats Trice for the catch at the twenty
Speaker 1: two yard line. Kade York looking for his fourth field
Speaker 1: goal of the game. It's a twenty three yard try
Speaker 1: from the left hash His right footed gick is absolutely perfect,
Speaker 1: and the Bengals have a twelve point lead. In the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Patterson lines up in the backfield Wilson to
Speaker 1: throw again. Cocks the yard has a man wide open,
Speaker 1: caught by Friar Mooth and he runs into the end
Speaker 1: zone for the Pittsburgh touchdown. Weightman into punt. He waits
Speaker 1: at his own five for the long snap. His left
Speaker 1: footed punt who not going very far. It is going
Speaker 1: to bounce to the Bengals touch that the ball goes
Speaker 1: out of bounds or did it get recovered by Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: first Steelers have it so Isaiah Williams did not give
Speaker 1: a definitive enough signal for his teammates to get out
Speaker 1: of the way. Connor Hayward recovers the ball that hit
Speaker 1: a Bengals blocker to allow Pittsburgh to recover it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a punt that was mishit, and
Speaker 2: at that point you gotta yell fire or whatever your
Speaker 2: code word it is to get out of the way.
Speaker 1: On second to nine, Russell Wilson to throw. Trey hendricks
Speaker 1: In sacks him at the thirty three yard line. Came
Speaker 1: with a wide rush, beat the left tackle more and
Speaker 1: sacked Russell Wilson. Boswell has made forty field goals this year.
Speaker 1: That is a Steelers single season record. Here comes his
Speaker 1: fifty four yard attempt. It's on its way. It is good.
Speaker 2: Yep, unreal. I mean in this weather for him to
Speaker 2: hit that thing like he hit that, Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: That's like hitting the brick.
Speaker 1: Clock is running thirty one seconds to go. They still
Speaker 1: need to gain about twenty yards to be in field
Speaker 1: goal range. Bryan Mos thirty five seconds to go. Shotgun snap,
Speaker 1: Wilson under pressure, sacked, Trey Hendrickson does it again at
Speaker 1: the forty yard line. Time out Pittsburgh twenty seconds to go.
Speaker 1: The Bengals playoff fate comes down to this play, fourth
Speaker 1: down and twelve with fifteen seconds to go. If they
Speaker 1: get a stop, their playoff hopes will be alive tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Hope alive. Wilson sends two receivers out to each side
Speaker 1: of the formation. Russell has the ball short drop fires
Speaker 1: a pass incomplete. Friarmouth couldn't hold on hand with eleven
Speaker 1: seconds to go.
Speaker 2: That is coffin nailam, bam bam.
Speaker 1: The Bengals playoff hopes are still alive, and tomorrow at
Speaker 1: four in the afternoon, we are all about to be
Speaker 1: the world's biggest fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, needing those two teams to win
Speaker 1: in order for the Bengals to deep playing. The final
Speaker 1: score Cincinnati nineteen Pittsburgh seventeen. The Bengals end the regular
Speaker 1: season with a five game winning streak and the Steelers
Speaker 1: end with a four game losing streak. Speaking of streaks,
Speaker 1: Joe burrows streak of consecutive games with three touchdown passes
Speaker 1: ended at eight, but considering the frigid conditions and injuries
Speaker 1: on the Bengals offensive line, Joe was outstanding, completing eighty
Speaker 1: percent of his forty six passes for two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards with one touchdown and onet. Joe ends
Speaker 1: the season with franchise records for passing yards with four thy,
Speaker 1: nine hundred and eighteen touchdown passes with forty three and
Speaker 1: passer rating at one oh eight point five. Joe will
Speaker 1: lead the league in passing yards unless Jared Goff throws
Speaker 1: four five twenty on Sunday night against the Vikings, and
Speaker 1: he'll lead the league in touchdown passes unless Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: tosses five on Sunday afternoon against the Saints. Here are
Speaker 1: some of the things Burrow told reporters after the game.
Speaker 4: You know, our execution in the red zone wasn't good enough.
Speaker 3: That's kind of.
Speaker 4: The story of the game. I'm not sure how many
Speaker 4: field goals we kicked, four, three or four something like that,
Speaker 4: So you know, if we convert a couple of those
Speaker 4: into touchdowns.
Speaker 3: That's a different game.
Speaker 4: You know, I would like to have finished that game
Speaker 4: on offense and punched those into the end zone.
Speaker 3: But our our defense stepped up and picked up the slack.
Speaker 3: Our defensive young.
Speaker 4: Guys and guys that have played great in the past
Speaker 4: have have started playing well. And then Trey Henderson, you know,
Speaker 4: after tonight, I don't know who else is gonna win
Speaker 4: Defensive Player of the Year other than him. He was
Speaker 4: incredible tonight. Any time that he didn't have chip help,
Speaker 4: he was getting to quarterback. Anytime you don't make the playoffs,
Speaker 4: it's a failure. That's what you're you're aiming for every year.
Speaker 4: That's why you work so hard as to be at
Speaker 4: your best at in the end. And you know, these
Speaker 4: last five weeks we have been we just you know,
Speaker 4: weren't able to find an extra win early in the
Speaker 4: season that that would put us in a better spot.
Speaker 4: You know, I know that, you know, if we get
Speaker 4: and we can make some noise with with the players
Speaker 4: and coaches that we have in this building, and we
Speaker 4: just gotta hope for hope for some hell tomorrow and
Speaker 4: I'll sit back and watch it. I thought i'd have
Speaker 4: my best year. I think I did. H The year
Speaker 4: after a ligament injury like that is always better. You know,
Speaker 4: I threw it well this year, I don't think. I
Speaker 4: still think I can throw it way better.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: You know, early in the season you're still getting a
Speaker 4: field for for how that risk is feeling. You're breaking
Speaker 4: up scar tissue, you're doing a lot of different things
Speaker 4: to to help it, and it gets better as the
Speaker 4: season goes. So I expect next year to be better.
Speaker 4: That's that's how it was with my knee. That's how
Speaker 4: ligament injuries typically go. So I'm expecting to to grind
Speaker 4: this offseason and take a jump next year.
Speaker 1: The man is never satisfied. His favorite target, Jamar Chase,
Speaker 1: had ten catches for ninety six yards and a touchdown
Speaker 1: and has a healthy lead in all three triple crowned
Speaker 1: categories with one hundred and twenty seven catches for one thousand,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and eight yards and seventeen touchdowns. My postgame
Speaker 1: interview with Noumero who Know, begins with Jamar praising the
Speaker 1: Bengals defense.
Speaker 5: They've been stepping up tremendously a lot the past couple
Speaker 5: of weeks. Trey going trade dangs today, but you know
Speaker 5: they always find way to getst the ball back.
Speaker 1: You finish the season with the five game winning streak,
Speaker 1: your playoff hopes are alive. What's the emotion in this
Speaker 1: locker room right now?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 5: Everybody happy? We just got this winning in Pittsburgh. So
Speaker 5: you know, right now we're just letting the dice roll
Speaker 5: and take the chances about what's gonna having them out.
Speaker 1: Ten catches just under one hundred yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: How challenging it under these conditions.
Speaker 5: It was pretty challenging mentally wise, you know, just standing
Speaker 5: in the game, noise, cold, but you know, we practiced
Speaker 5: for the outside in the cold for a reason.
Speaker 1: So the peasants of the game, is that seventeenth touchdown
Speaker 1: really satisfying for you? No? No, no, why not?
Speaker 5: Because I dropped two touchdowns in the past two weeks?
Speaker 3: So what that would have been?
Speaker 1: Nineteen seventeen's not bad. Nineteen sounds better though, hard to dispute.
Speaker 1: All right, So what's tomorrow going to be like? Needing
Speaker 1: help from Kansas City and the Jets to advance to
Speaker 1: the playoffs in Buffalo?
Speaker 3: Who knows?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 5: You know, hopefully postably we get what we want. And
Speaker 5: like I said, you gotta let the dice roll right now.
Speaker 1: Joe started the game by completing his first twelve passes
Speaker 1: nineteen degrees seven degree win chill. What did you think
Speaker 1: of the way that he performed Coming out of the.
Speaker 5: Game, I was going to have a I thought it
Speaker 5: was gonna be a long night for the defense once
Speaker 5: you know, I see him start off so good.
Speaker 1: Did Pittsburgh change anything up or just their good players
Speaker 1: start making some plays?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: They change it up a little bit after the first
Speaker 5: drive at the first out of change it up?
Speaker 1: All right? If my math is correct. You lead in
Speaker 1: catches by eighteen, you lead in yards by two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty seven, you lead in touchdowns by five. Barring
Speaker 1: some of the greatest single games in NFL history, you
Speaker 1: are going to win the triple crown. Can you describe
Speaker 1: what appears to be that accomplishment.
Speaker 5: It feels good, you know that I finally haven't on
Speaker 5: toneath my belt, but I'm still worried about the playoffs
Speaker 5: right now be in a triple crown, but I'm I'm happy.
Speaker 5: I'm excited that I got to appreciate Joe and the
Speaker 5: rest of the team for helping me.
Speaker 1: It comes in if you can get in, if you
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs. What do you think this
Speaker 1: team can do the way you ended this season.
Speaker 5: They gotta take a one game at a time, you know,
Speaker 5: like you did the last five weeks.
Speaker 1: Where about what we.
Speaker 5: Got in front of us, take advantage are the players
Speaker 5: that we get an opportunities that we get in a
Speaker 5: game and make the most outble.
Speaker 1: As for the defense, I told Trey Hendrickson after the
Speaker 1: game that the best performance I had ever seen by
Speaker 1: a Bengals defensive player was also in Pittsburgh when Gino
Speaker 1: Atkins lived in the Steelers' backfield in a game that
Speaker 1: clinched a playoff spot in twenty twelve. Well, I think
Speaker 1: Gino is now number two on my list after watching
Speaker 1: Trey get three and a half sacks and five quarterback
Speaker 1: hits with nearly all of them coming in crucial situations.
Speaker 6: Well, first and foremost, I want to thank my Lord
Speaker 6: and Savior Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: He's my foundation, my rock.
Speaker 6: All glory to God and my wife. She's been amazing
Speaker 6: through this season taking care of our son.
Speaker 1: Huge support group.
Speaker 6: I'm just incredibly bless and humbled to be in the
Speaker 6: position to help this team win and give ourselves the
Speaker 6: best chance to go.
Speaker 1: To the playoffs. He finished the season on a five
Speaker 1: game winning streak, and during that stretch, the defense gave
Speaker 1: up less than twenty points a game. You guys really
Speaker 1: turned it around over the final month of the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Credit to Loui an Arumo doing his job, you know,
Speaker 6: changing things up, getting people in the right position to produce.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 6: Credit to the rest of their coaching staff coming up
Speaker 6: with good game plans and shutting teams.
Speaker 1: Down so Pittsburgh gets the ball with less than two
Speaker 1: minutes to go, a field goal can win it. Chris
Speaker 1: Boswell's been the best kicker in the league. The defense
Speaker 1: had to come up big, and you guys did. How
Speaker 1: satisfying is that in light of the roller coaster ride
Speaker 1: that this season has been.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, we got a chance to redefine our
Speaker 6: identity as a defense a little bit. And like I said,
Speaker 6: that starts with coaching and then players, you know, at
Speaker 6: four and eight responding to the call.
Speaker 1: So credited leaders in this locker room.
Speaker 6: Like Sam Hubbard keeping us together even though he went
Speaker 6: down in Tennessee, can't say enough about his character, his leadership.
Speaker 1: Guys like bj.
Speaker 6: Hill becoming vocal leading our defensive line, and obviously the
Speaker 6: rest of the guys to remain pratt lying around out there,
Speaker 6: and Genostone making a lot of plays for us, Josh
Speaker 6: Newton stepping up.
Speaker 1: I can continue to.
Speaker 6: Keep going on, but for the sake of time, we'll if.
Speaker 1: Seventeen and a half sacks Miles Garrett didn't have any today,
Speaker 1: you are almost certainly going to lead the league. A
Speaker 1: Bengal has never done that since sack has been an
Speaker 1: official stat What does that accomplishment mean to you?
Speaker 6: It gives me a platform to glorify the Lord. You know,
Speaker 6: it's not about me selfishly, there's eleven other or ten
Speaker 6: other guys that complete this defense, and I'm able to
Speaker 6: produce on my edge. I'm very blessed to do what
Speaker 6: I love. This is what I was born to do.
Speaker 6: And you know, my wife being there for me in
Speaker 6: this whole process. She's been so strong and taking care
Speaker 6: of our son and obviously take care of me. So
Speaker 6: I'm very blessed to have that support group. And you know,
Speaker 6: it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: You guys did your part. You need help tomorrow. What
Speaker 1: is tomorrow going to be like? Nerve racking? Exciting? Can
Speaker 1: you describe the emotions of hoping to get some help
Speaker 1: from the Jets and Chiefs tomorrow?
Speaker 6: Well as far as our twenty twenty four defense, it's
Speaker 6: the man in the arena kind of accomplishes.
Speaker 2: What we'd like to say.
Speaker 1: We give it her all.
Speaker 6: Some things are out of our control right now, but
Speaker 6: giving you your best is what it's about. You leave
Speaker 6: the field with your head high, knowing that you did
Speaker 6: everything to win, and then you can sleep like a
Speaker 6: baby at night.
Speaker 1: A heck of a game and an unbelievable season. Congratulations Tray,
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it. Ray finished the year with seventeen
Speaker 1: and a half sacks for the second year in a
Speaker 1: row and should get consideration for NFL Defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. Now let's hear what Zach Taylor had to
Speaker 1: says he spent a few minutes with Dave Lapham after
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: Things head coach Zac Taylor, congratulations, sir, thank you.
Speaker 1: It's good to good win man.
Speaker 7: It's hard to win on the road in the ANFC North,
Speaker 7: and really proud of the way the guys stuck together
Speaker 7: and found a way to get it done.
Speaker 2: Give me your first reaction when you had time to
Speaker 2: catch your breath and everything that was going through your
Speaker 2: through your mind during the course of the game and
Speaker 2: you had chance to exhale, what's your first thought.
Speaker 7: This is what we visualized. You know, there was no
Speaker 7: situation where we're going to walk out of here with
Speaker 7: a loss. That's not anything that crossed any of our minds.
Speaker 7: We fully expected to win this game, and our guys
Speaker 7: got it done.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you the grit and the determination defensively,
Speaker 2: coach down the stretch, the five football games that you
Speaker 2: guys want in a row and once again compimentary football.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a problem with special teams, you know,
Speaker 2: ball hits on a leg and those are tough things.
Speaker 2: Those are tough things. I mean the punts mishit, you
Speaker 2: don't know where it is. But defensively they step up,
Speaker 2: you know, and it was just an a great example
Speaker 2: of contmary football.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, you know, I thought, I thought in all three phases,
Speaker 7: guys stepped up at key moments. Offense played well early
Speaker 7: on to get us a lead and keep putting points
Speaker 7: on the board. Defense came up with some key stops.
Speaker 7: Special teams had their day as well. So just really
Speaker 7: really proud of our football team.
Speaker 2: Got a lot of respect for the offensive line. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of there were injuries there, guys are
Speaker 2: playing different positions and showing versatility. Cody Ford, you know,
Speaker 2: stepped up, you know, really big for you you know,
Speaker 2: and then Amarius comes in when when he needs to
Speaker 2: come in and and does what he has to do.
Speaker 2: I just think, again, in my mind watching this football
Speaker 2: game as a form alignment, I thought the game was
Speaker 2: was one of the trenches on both sides of it.
Speaker 1: I did too.
Speaker 7: I mean, we dropped back in pass against one of
Speaker 7: the best fronts in football a lot, and so we
Speaker 7: put a lot of pressure on those guys and they
Speaker 7: rose to the challenge. And so just just really proud
Speaker 7: of the effort they gave and ability to get some
Speaker 7: runs off when we needed to as well Khalil Herbert
Speaker 7: and his first first start with us, you know, to
Speaker 7: get the reps he did. Just really really thankful for
Speaker 7: those guys up front.
Speaker 2: You know, to me, that's that's a credit to everybody,
Speaker 2: credit to him, a credit to you and your coaching staff.
Speaker 2: You know, obviously he's a very intelligent guy, but I mean,
Speaker 2: you guys, to have him ready to go out and
Speaker 2: do what he did the way he did it, it's
Speaker 2: really impressive.
Speaker 7: It's a huge credit to Justin Hill. I mean, he
Speaker 7: works with all these guys. We got guys on the
Speaker 7: active roster practice squad and in a moment like this,
Speaker 7: you know, we were down Zach Moss. We lost Zach
Speaker 7: Moss halfway through the season. Chase Brown now out, so
Speaker 7: a guy that we traded for some guys that we've
Speaker 7: acquired on the practice squad of the season's gone on,
Speaker 7: Justin has got those guys into position where we felt
Speaker 7: like they could help us win the game. And so
Speaker 7: credit to those backs, credit to Justin Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: Steelers had gone through some injuries, but they were very
Speaker 2: healthy here for this football game. You guys were trying
Speaker 2: to like cobble it together and get it done again.
Speaker 2: That just says a lot about the depth of your
Speaker 2: football team, how everybody cares about each other with respect
Speaker 2: your foot ball team. It says a lot.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, we've had our fair share of six
Speaker 7: day weeks these last couple of weeks, and our guys
Speaker 7: haven't complained, spoken up one bit about it. It's just
Speaker 7: it is what it is, and all we can control
Speaker 7: is how we play on game day. And so these
Speaker 7: guys are beat up right now. I mean it's if
Speaker 7: you watched practice, you would see guys are barely even moving,
Speaker 7: you know, they're so beat up. But on game day
Speaker 7: they give it everything they got and really proud of
Speaker 7: them and hopeful that we get in and we get
Speaker 7: a chance to do it again.
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, I mean he's kind of limping. He limps
Speaker 2: off the field, comes back, getting gives you a sack,
Speaker 2: and he's kind of like living it. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it was his side or what it was. He
Speaker 2: looked like he was definitely struggling though. Was it up
Speaker 2: in the rib k?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got a nice rib shot.
Speaker 7: You know, it's hard to block him one on one,
Speaker 7: so sometimes you got to call in some reserves to
Speaker 7: help from the side, and he got that today, and
Speaker 7: so he just needed to play to get his breath back.
Speaker 2: So where do you think the turning point or if
Speaker 2: there was one, I mean that that wasn't again another
Speaker 2: roller coaster. I think there was never more than a
Speaker 2: ten point lead. I don't think for anybody.
Speaker 7: Right we did, you're up nineteen seven. But the end
Speaker 7: of the first half was a huge moment for us
Speaker 7: to get the stops, to get the offense the ball
Speaker 7: back in good scoring range. It's a windy day, it's
Speaker 7: a cold day. It's not going to be one of
Speaker 7: those five hundred yard performances, and so the field position
Speaker 7: was critical. Defense got his field position, put three points
Speaker 7: on the board to go up thirteen to seven. So
Speaker 7: you started to feel like you were going to get
Speaker 7: control of the game. And that was a big moment
Speaker 7: for us.
Speaker 2: To me, when the defense third and one, fourth and one,
Speaker 2: you get the football back. I was like, man, I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what, you know, a much maligned group. Boy,
Speaker 2: they stood up large.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was huge.
Speaker 7: You know, that was an unexpected situation, you know, the
Speaker 7: fourth and one on our side of the field, and
Speaker 7: so you know, really I just thought they were trying
Speaker 7: to draw us off sides, to be quite frank with you,
Speaker 7: and I thought, our guys, so when you think that's happening,
Speaker 7: you're not firing off the ball.
Speaker 1: Like you normally would.
Speaker 7: And so for them to be able to get that
Speaker 7: stop in a situation where you're not firing off the
Speaker 7: ball because you're not expecting to snap it, I thought,
Speaker 7: really speaks volumes bet our guys.
Speaker 2: And finally, Coach, I mean, I've played in cold weather
Speaker 2: games and you know, obviously that fifty nine blow is
Speaker 2: like a you know, ridiculous, but I mean nine to
Speaker 2: nine below raw temperature.
Speaker 7: Older every year that passes, we're.
Speaker 2: Stuck at that fifty seven. I wanted to get it
Speaker 2: into the sixties. But uh, I know what it's like
Speaker 2: when you're and you're still playing very physical football, but
Speaker 2: when you're hitting like that and that kind of weather, man,
Speaker 2: I take my cap off to the tip my cap
Speaker 2: to the guys. Because I know what it feels like.
Speaker 2: And man, it was physical out there. I mean, guys
Speaker 2: were getting after it.
Speaker 7: Listen, I had two pairs of gloves on and I
Speaker 7: can't feel my fingers, So I can't imagine doing what
Speaker 7: these guys did, you know. And and so again just
Speaker 7: the mentality that they had all season long, to be
Speaker 7: quite frank, and especially these last five weeks, to know
Speaker 7: that we couldn't afford to lose another game, and so
Speaker 7: they just buckled up and got it done.
Speaker 2: Five straight wins, four straight seasons with winning records. Pretty
Speaker 2: good coach.
Speaker 7: It's not easy to do in this league. And now
Speaker 7: we just cross our fingers and become fans tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you guys, are you gonna have the You guys
Speaker 2: gonna all get together there somewhere if you thought about that,
Speaker 2: or what do you think.
Speaker 7: Coaching Stuf's working on the Buffalo Bills. I mean, we
Speaker 7: know who our opponent would be, and so we'll be
Speaker 7: in the office working on Buffalo. The games will certainly
Speaker 7: be on the background, there's no doubt about that. Probably
Speaker 7: be a little bit scheering involved, and then we'll just
Speaker 7: go from there.
Speaker 1: Hopefully the work he and his staff put in preparing
Speaker 1: to face Buffalo next week will prove necessary. The Bengals
Speaker 1: Booth Podcast is brought to you by pay Corps, proud
Speaker 1: to be the Bengals Official HR software provider, by Alta
Speaker 1: Fiber future Proof Fiber Internet designed to elevate your home,
Speaker 1: business and community to a new level, and by Kettering
Speaker 1: Health the best care for the best fans. Kettering Health
Speaker 1: is the official healthcare provider of the Bengals. Now time
Speaker 1: for the radio guys recap laft. That was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. The Bengals end their regular season with a
Speaker 1: five game winning streak, a winning record, and a prayer
Speaker 1: of advancing to Buffalo next week.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Unfortunately, they don't control their own destiny. They're gonna
Speaker 2: have to rely on other people and you hate to
Speaker 2: have to be in that situation. But they took care
Speaker 2: of their share of it. They're part of the business.
Speaker 2: They had to get the win, and winning in Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: it's not easy. I mean, Mike Tomlin's record in the
Speaker 2: last game home game, he was eight to no. I mean,
Speaker 2: he hadn't lost a football game. So to get this
Speaker 2: one done it was pretty extraordinary. They had a sixteen
Speaker 2: minute time position advantage. They basically ran away with the
Speaker 2: court of the football game. You know, they had seventy
Speaker 2: one snaps to their fifty eight. I mean, it was
Speaker 2: it was an impressive performance. I thought it big, a
Speaker 2: big deal. Third and one, fourth and one. The Bengals
Speaker 2: defense stood up and showed themselves in that and that
Speaker 2: little sequence and really over the five game winning streak,
Speaker 2: I thought the defense played really well. I mean, there
Speaker 2: were so many examples of complimentary football offense, defense and
Speaker 2: special teams. When you win five in a row in
Speaker 2: this league, you know that's the case. And defensively that
Speaker 2: they certainly did up there under the bargain.
Speaker 1: That's on the short list of best defensive performances by
Speaker 1: an individual that I've seen. Trey Hendrickson three and a
Speaker 1: half sacks against this team under these circumstances in this building,
Speaker 1: that's a memorable one for me. It is.
Speaker 2: And and he was getting chipped, he was getting in fact,
Speaker 2: he had a little bit of a rib issue he got.
Speaker 2: He got hit pretty good. He said, he gets stroked
Speaker 2: in the side pretty good when he get chipped one time.
Speaker 2: So they were paying some attention to him. But I'm
Speaker 2: telling you, boy, when he turns it on and he
Speaker 2: comes around that edge and he he shrinks that edge.
Speaker 3: He does.
Speaker 2: He compresses and shrinks the edge about as well as
Speaker 2: I've seen man when he when he has the least
Speaker 2: a little the smallest little bit of advantage, he turns
Speaker 2: in into a huge advantage. He's he's really gifted and
Speaker 2: talented that way, he really is. He can make himself
Speaker 2: small and accelerate and yeah, he just he doesn't really
Speaker 2: give you a whole lot of target to punch and
Speaker 2: to hit. He does it right.
Speaker 1: So Burrow did not extend his touchdown streak. He only
Speaker 1: had one tonight, so that ends at eight consecutive games.
Speaker 1: He did best for more than two hundred and fifty yards,
Speaker 1: but considering the state of his offensive line, the weather conditions,
Speaker 1: the defense that he was facing, that was one heck
Speaker 1: of a performance. It was.
Speaker 2: I thought that the number of snaps, time of possession
Speaker 2: showed that they controlled the line of scrimmage. I thought offensively,
Speaker 2: Cody ford Man showed the versatility. I mean, he can
Speaker 2: play both guards, he can play both tackles. He's done
Speaker 2: it well. You know. Amarius Mems did come in when
Speaker 2: needed and held down the fort at the right tackle
Speaker 2: position as well. I get a lot of respect for,
Speaker 2: you know, how those guys stepped up and played honestly
Speaker 2: as a football team. They were pretty beaten up, they
Speaker 2: really were, and Pittsburgh wasn't. I mean, Pittsburgh had all
Speaker 2: hands on deck and the Bengals you know, didn't. And
Speaker 2: then during the course of the game things cropped up
Speaker 2: that you know, caused some problems. But I mean, these
Speaker 2: guys all they were all ready to go. I think
Speaker 2: it's a tribute to the to the players. Everybody prepares
Speaker 2: like they're a starter. The coaches prepare the players like
Speaker 2: their starters, and everybody when they get their opportunity to perform,
Speaker 2: go out there and perform at the at the best
Speaker 2: level they possibly can. And man, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: depth on this football team, and it showed today.
Speaker 1: Quite a few unsung heroes in this game. I thought
Speaker 1: Shaka Hayward several tackles and a forced fumble. Cade Yorke
Speaker 1: bounces back from his doink in overtime last week, boots
Speaker 1: four field goals and four tries, and as you pointed out,
Speaker 1: with some of the injuries that they had, guys had
Speaker 1: to step up. Given their opportunity, and they did.
Speaker 2: They really did. And uh, you know, I thought that
Speaker 2: it looked to me like the weather conditions bothered the
Speaker 2: Steelers a little bit more than it did the Bengals.
Speaker 1: I really believe that.
Speaker 2: And you know, they they're in a situation where if
Speaker 2: they win that football game, you know they're going to Houston.
Speaker 2: Now if the Bengals aren't in the playoffs, they're still
Speaker 2: they're going to Baltimore.
Speaker 1: Unless the Chargers lose, but they probably won't take the
Speaker 1: Raiders right right.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, they had a lot to play for,
Speaker 2: and they played hard. I mean they didn't they didn't
Speaker 2: fold their tents. They didn't start pulling players or anything
Speaker 2: like that. They played it right to the right to
Speaker 2: the end as hard as they possibly could. But you know,
Speaker 2: the Bengals realized, the first thing you have to do
Speaker 2: is to win this football game. If you don't, it's
Speaker 2: all a moot point. Now, at least you can you
Speaker 2: can live for at least one more day.
Speaker 1: So it won't be satisfying if they don't get the
Speaker 1: help they need tomorrow. But they do wind up with
Speaker 1: a winning record after an zero to three start, four
Speaker 1: and eight after twelve games, they wind up nine and eight,
Speaker 1: fourth straight year with a winning record. Again, we won't
Speaker 1: savor that, certainly if they don't wind up in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But it is an accomplishment.
Speaker 2: It is, And honestly, you know, this is a good
Speaker 2: football team. It really is. And I you know, the
Speaker 2: rest of the league knows that. That's all you're hearing from.
Speaker 2: You know, every media source. Nobody wants to play the
Speaker 2: Bengals right now. The Bengals are on a run and
Speaker 2: they are I mean, they're playing as well or better
Speaker 2: than anybody in the league right now. So Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 2: are a limpit and gimpet into the playoffs. I mean,
Speaker 2: four game losing streak and to lose to their division
Speaker 2: rival at home. That's not a great way to stride
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. So they're leaking oil. In fact, I'm
Speaker 2: not sure there's any oil left in the engine. We'll see,
Speaker 2: but you know, the hopefully the Bengals can get in
Speaker 2: because they're playing at a pretty high level.
Speaker 1: The Steelers not only finished with a four game losing streak,
Speaker 1: never led in any of those games.
Speaker 2: That's amazing, isn't it. I Mean, this is the first
Speaker 2: game that they were within a score to finish the
Speaker 2: see the games, I mean they're outscored ninety to fifty
Speaker 2: in the games before this one. I mean that's that's
Speaker 2: not just getting beaten, that's getting thrashed. So the Bengals
Speaker 2: finished it off. It was great anytime you can come
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh and quiet those terrible towels. Boy, that stadium
Speaker 2: at times was I mean you could hear a pin
Speaker 2: drop out there, you know, and there's nothing better than
Speaker 2: that in Pittsburgh to hear the quiet.
Speaker 1: When we walked into the locker room, we were among
Speaker 1: the first reporters to get in. They were playing Renegade.
Speaker 1: The Steelers got a theme song that they played, a
Speaker 1: fire up the fans in the second half and a
Speaker 1: little bit of a dig as. That was the first
Speaker 1: song playing in the locker room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's apropos as they say. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's this this uh, this football team. It's it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I mean again, you can look back the four and
Speaker 2: eight part of the season. Any it's just one game
Speaker 2: had gone differently. Now and if they had ten wins,
Speaker 2: they'd be in. They'd be in just one and honestly,
Speaker 2: they could be sitting with twelve or thirteen wins, but
Speaker 2: just one to get into ten wins. That's why every
Speaker 2: win you get in this league you have to treasure
Speaker 2: and relish, because man, it's tough to get him.
Speaker 1: For everybody but Kansas City, that is. But get this,
Speaker 1: the fifteen to one Chiefs are an eleven point underdog
Speaker 1: on Sunday in Denver. That's because the Chiefs arresting Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, and as many key starters as possible.
Speaker 1: Here's hoping Carson Wentz plays the game of his life
Speaker 1: for KC. Since the Bengals need Denver to lose, the
Speaker 1: Bengals also need the Dolphins to lose, and they aren't
Speaker 1: expected to have two Atungo Vai Looa due to a
Speaker 1: hip injury. The four and twelve Jets are now a
Speaker 1: one point favorite over Miami in that game. Both games
Speaker 1: kickoff at four twenty five, and if they go the
Speaker 1: Bengals way, the impact of me jumping up and down
Speaker 1: in my family room might register on the Richter scale.
Speaker 1: That wraps up the Pittsburgh game. Now time for this
Speaker 1: week's fun fact segment, where you get to know the
Speaker 1: person under the pads, time for some fun facts with
Speaker 1: running back Khalel Herbert from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I read
Speaker 1: an article about you where you refer to yourself as
Speaker 1: chubby and slow as a kid, which is definitely not
Speaker 1: the case. Now, were you a late bloomer?
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 8: You know, I don't think I got my speed until
Speaker 8: tenth eleventh grade. But you know, growing up, I was
Speaker 8: always on the O line, D line. I played a
Speaker 8: lot of guard in the defensive end, and then you know,
Speaker 8: eventually started moving to full back as I you know,
Speaker 8: as I got a little bit faster, and then uh
Speaker 8: running back when I was in tenth grade.
Speaker 1: So did you grow out of it naturally or did
Speaker 1: you have to work at it?
Speaker 3: I definitely had to work at it. You know.
Speaker 8: I was always I was big as a kid, so
Speaker 8: I used to shot put in stuff, but I feel
Speaker 8: like everybody caught up to me, so I thought I
Speaker 8: was gonna be a lot taller than But definitely like
Speaker 8: my speed, I always ran track and you know, just
Speaker 8: eventually just keep working at it and was able to
Speaker 8: finally get some speed and the rest came just working
Speaker 8: at it, working at.
Speaker 3: It every weekend.
Speaker 1: Did you do any other extracurricular activities as a kid
Speaker 1: or was it strictly sports.
Speaker 8: Yeah, strictly sports, football, track, I mean, yeah, video games.
Speaker 1: We're visiting with Khalil Herbert. You played high school football
Speaker 1: as a senior at American Heritage School, the alma mater
Speaker 1: of former Reds Rookie of the Year Jonathan India, among others.
Speaker 1: But here's what I found amazing in twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: when you were drafted by the Bears, there were six
Speaker 1: players taken from your high school that year. That's unusual
Speaker 1: for a college, much less a high school. Is it
Speaker 1: amazing to you guys, the guys that are on that team.
Speaker 8: It definitely is, But it's it's kind of, I guess,
Speaker 8: regular to us down there, especially in South Florida. You know,
Speaker 8: we produce a lot of NFL talent, but you know,
Speaker 8: it's something that we we strive and pride ourselves on
Speaker 8: just being able to produce NFL talent. And like you said, yeah,
Speaker 8: we had six in the draft. I think we got
Speaker 8: ten current or eleven current guys. So it's something that
Speaker 8: we pride ourselves on, going getting to go back to school,
Speaker 8: go back there. You see our posters and banners on
Speaker 8: the walls of the fields, so it's always cool.
Speaker 1: When it came time to pick a college, you chose Kansas.
Speaker 1: How'd you wind up in Lawrence? From South Florida?
Speaker 8: So I trained with Tony Sans. He played the running
Speaker 8: back at Kansas. Kind of connected me with some people
Speaker 8: at Kansas. Kansas is my only power five offer, so
Speaker 8: it was kind of a no brainer. You know, I
Speaker 8: want to play power five ball. Even though they weren't
Speaker 8: doing so well, I figured I could go there and
Speaker 8: help change the culture.
Speaker 3: So that's why I chose there.
Speaker 1: We're chatting with Kalol Herbert. In your sophomore year against
Speaker 1: West Virginia, you had a game with two hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety one yards and thirty six carries. What are your
Speaker 1: most vivid memories of that day.
Speaker 8: I mean, I just remember afterwards I was tired, but nah,
Speaker 8: I just remember I was trying to help my team
Speaker 8: win anyway.
Speaker 3: It just, you know, just so happened.
Speaker 8: I was able to break a couple of runs that
Speaker 8: game and just able to ride the hot hand there.
Speaker 8: So but it was it was a crazy day just
Speaker 8: to be I think I'm third and ku in single
Speaker 8: game Russian, So just being able to be up there
Speaker 8: with some great some crazy great names.
Speaker 3: You know, I was a memory I'll never forget.
Speaker 1: Did you know how close you were to three hundred? No?
Speaker 8: I wish I I wish I did.
Speaker 3: I wish I did.
Speaker 8: But again, we were losing the game, so it was
Speaker 8: like we just started throwing the ball, trying to get back,
Speaker 8: trying to win the game. But I don't even I
Speaker 8: don't know if anybody knew, because no one was keeping
Speaker 8: track of the time. I didn't find out un till
Speaker 8: I got on Twitter. Afterwards.
Speaker 1: You decided to transfer to Virginia Tech for your final
Speaker 1: college season, and that turned out to be a great move.
Speaker 1: You finished fifth in the nation and rushing that year.
Speaker 1: What did that season do for you and your NFL dreams?
Speaker 8: Just definitely helped me get to where I am right now.
Speaker 8: You know, I played with some great guys. I think
Speaker 8: my whole whole line is in the NFL right now,
Speaker 8: So that kind of shows the kind of talent I
Speaker 8: was with, you know, a bunch of guys on the
Speaker 8: team or in the league. But just being around those
Speaker 8: guys and helping me just that coaching staff allowed me
Speaker 8: to just be me and go play, and you know,
Speaker 8: they trusted me to take games over and finish games out,
Speaker 8: so you know, with that belief in me, just able
Speaker 8: to go out there and play my game.
Speaker 1: You were drafted by the Bears in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Describe your draft weekend and what it was like to
Speaker 1: get that call.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was it was a long weekend. It
Speaker 3: was a long weekend.
Speaker 8: I think that was the end of the sixth so
Speaker 8: you know, it was a lot of waiting, a lot
Speaker 8: of waiting, you know, especially here you could go day two,
Speaker 8: day three, like, so you're just waiting around, but you know,
Speaker 8: they called.
Speaker 3: I got a call from.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to remember the city, but it was Illinois,
Speaker 8: but uh no, it was. It was a crazy, crazy
Speaker 8: wave of emotions, like, you know, whole family was.
Speaker 3: There at my at my mom's house.
Speaker 8: So it was just cool just to have that moment
Speaker 8: with everybody, and you know, especially after how long the
Speaker 8: weekend had felt like, just finally end with some happy
Speaker 8: tears and you know, figure out where I was going
Speaker 8: to play.
Speaker 1: How'd you like living and playing in Chicago? Oh? I
Speaker 1: loved it.
Speaker 3: I loved it.
Speaker 8: You know, great area out there. They Bengals came out
Speaker 8: there during preseason, so a lot of guys talk to
Speaker 8: me about the area. But you know, the city great food.
Speaker 8: I love foodie, so I love food. But yeah, I
Speaker 8: loved it out there.
Speaker 1: Did you have a favorite spot?
Speaker 3: I had a couple.
Speaker 8: I like steakhouses, so I tried down near every steakhouse
Speaker 8: in Chicago, but downtown I'd either go Maple and Ash
Speaker 8: or Ocean Prime.
Speaker 3: Those are my top two.
Speaker 1: You spent three and a half years with the Bears
Speaker 1: before getting traded to the Bengals at the trade deadline
Speaker 1: this year. What's the hardest part about being traded in
Speaker 1: the middle of a season.
Speaker 8: I mean, I feel like just two things, like relationships
Speaker 8: and then learning plays but just like, you know, not
Speaker 8: being able to say goodbye to people, meeting new people,
Speaker 8: trying to learn new faces, new names, as well as
Speaker 8: trying to learn a playbook, so trying to just cram
Speaker 8: as much as you can in a short amount of time.
Speaker 3: So I feel like those are two hardist things.
Speaker 8: But you know, I feel like everybody here has done
Speaker 8: a great job of allowing me to learn and slowly.
Speaker 3: Teaching me things and learn this stuff each week.
Speaker 1: So all right, some wild card topics. Now for Colol Herbert,
Speaker 1: describe your experience as an Uber driver.
Speaker 8: So I worked Postmates. I actually I did Uber too.
Speaker 8: I did Postmates. I delivered food and I did Uber.
Speaker 8: I was an Uber driver just needed extra money, like
Speaker 8: you know, college, Like we weren't getting crazy nil bags
Speaker 8: like these guys are now. So especially during springball, you know,
Speaker 8: spring summer, not much going on.
Speaker 3: We just work out in the morning. I would Uber.
Speaker 8: And it stopped because I picked up this group of people.
Speaker 8: One time person threw open my car and that was
Speaker 8: the last time at Uber. And then I just started
Speaker 8: delivering food after that.
Speaker 1: So I was going to ask you for your worst
Speaker 1: Uber horror story. I think I just heard it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so after that, no more picking up people. I
Speaker 8: would just I would just deliver food, and uh yeah
Speaker 8: that was a lot better.
Speaker 1: Did you get good ratings?
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah all the time. You know, I feel
Speaker 8: like I got some good tips too. Once people realize,
Speaker 8: you know, I was delivering food, they're like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: So all right, who is your all time favorite athlete
Speaker 1: in any sport? And why?
Speaker 3: I mean lt uh lt. I grew up.
Speaker 8: I was born in April twenty first. I worked twenty one.
Speaker 8: Growing up, I worked twenty one at VT. It was
Speaker 8: retired at Kansas, so I couldn't work. I work twenty
Speaker 8: one in high school. Part of reason him, part of
Speaker 8: reason because I was born that day. But I was
Speaker 8: my favorite player growing up.
Speaker 1: So we should probably clarify Ladanian Tomlinson as opposed to
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ladanian Thomason.
Speaker 1: According to Wikipedia, you have Jamaican and virgin Island. Do
Speaker 1: you still have family there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, especially in the VIRGINI it's most of my family
Speaker 8: from Jamaica is in South Florida now, but growing up
Speaker 8: would always go back.
Speaker 3: I spend summers over there all summer, so until high school.
Speaker 8: Then I started playing football, but still got some family
Speaker 8: over there. Trying to go back this offseason, so take
Speaker 8: my son out there for the first time.
Speaker 1: What unhealthy food do you find hard to resist unhealthy?
Speaker 8: I really know if it's unhealthy. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 8: I'm like, I'm Jamaican, so I eat ox till.
Speaker 3: I don't really feel like that's unhealthy though.
Speaker 1: Is it Fatty's?
Speaker 3: But it is fatty It's kind of like I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess it's like I could be like barbecueish beef.
Speaker 3: So I guess it can be.
Speaker 8: But ox Hill, I mean anything fried, I work it off.
Speaker 8: So you know, every now and then I enjoyed. I
Speaker 8: enjoy a nice meal, but as you should.
Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd say those What do you like to spend
Speaker 1: your money on?
Speaker 3: Ah See, I'm a.
Speaker 8: Kid at heart, so like like electric go carts, electric bikes,
Speaker 8: that kind of stuff. I mean, I just got into
Speaker 8: watches again. I got a son now, so he's gonna
Speaker 8: get a lot of those electric Like I just got
Speaker 8: him elect I got him a trike, so those kind
Speaker 8: of things. I like to just spun money on vacations experiences.
Speaker 1: So your son's gonna love it. A dad who likes
Speaker 1: electronic things to be perfect for him. Final fun fact
Speaker 1: for Khalil Herbert, This one's kind of deep. If you
Speaker 1: could meet anybody in history, living or deceased, who would
Speaker 1: that person be?
Speaker 8: Dang, I got two so Jesus and probably like great
Speaker 8: great grandparents or something, just to kind of see like
Speaker 8: where my family.
Speaker 3: I know where they came from, but just like see
Speaker 3: how it was like living back then on not this
