It's the greatest thing since Bad Sisters 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.000 Season two. Bad Sisters is a black comedy on Apple 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.600 TV that recently started its second season. I don't want 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.920 to spoil anything in case you haven't watched it, so 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.760 I'll go light on the details. Season one features laugh 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.480 out loud moments in nearly every episode and perhaps the 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:30.200 greatest villain in the history of TV or film. We're 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.960 talking about a total a hole who is so despicable 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.160 that you'll want to reach into your TV screen and 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.800 strangle him. I've only watched a couple of episodes in 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:45.040 season two, but it's very different. It's not nearly as funny, 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.840 but it features a whopper of a plot twist and 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:53.880 another loathsome villain. If you're looking for something to watch 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:59.960 or binge, Bad Sisters on Apple TV gets my strongest recommendation. 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:06.400 Now time for the radio replays from Sunday's win in Tennessee. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.840 This afternoon from Music City USA, Nashville, Tennessee. The Bengals 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.360 will look to keep their playoff hopes alive as they 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.360 take on old friend Brian Callahan and the Tennessee Titans. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.839 And it is time for the big skin to fly 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.600 here at Nissan Stadium. Second down and ten Bengals from 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.240 their own twenty burrow to throw against the four man 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.760 rush passes over the middle and it is picked off 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.600 by the Tennessee Titans. A pass intended for Jamar Chase 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.920 Luke Gifford, an interior linebacker, went to the ground and 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.600 intercepted it for Tennessee. One of the best defensive linemen 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.760 in the NFL checks in on offense, Jeffrey Simmons. He 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.720 will line up as a fullback in front of Pollard. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.480 On second down in goal from the three. That is 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.600 a gigantic fullback. Levis gives it to Pollard running up 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:04.120 the middle, touchdown Tennessee Hurst and goal from the Tennessee six. 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.000 Burrow and the shotgun back at the eleven. Joe extends 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.320 the hands, catches the ball back to throw looking still 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.160 looking now backs up, gets away from a hit, still looking, 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.160 escapes another hit, throws into the end zone, touchdown to 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:25.080 Chase Brown. The remarkable Joe Burrow buying time, escaping two 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.280 possible sacks, and delivering a strike to running back Chase 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.400 Brown for the Bengals touchdown. Will they give it to 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.080 Jeffrey Simmons to try to score a touchdown? That would 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.240 be interesting. They do not. They give it to Tajy Spears. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.160 He goes airborne and he sticks the ball forward for 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.400 the Tennessee touchdown. Burrow under center an I formation backfield 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.320 behind him, the tailback is Chase Brown. Burrow fakes a handoff, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:55.760 throws a pass Sam Hubbard with the catching touchdown Bengals. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.880 Sam Hubbard raising the football over his head and spiking 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.920 at Gronk style after the first catch of his NFL 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.560 career third down and seven. As the result of that 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.440 five yard penalty, Levis to throw his pass, picked off 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.880 Cam Taylor Britt at the fifty, running back down the 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.880 sideline of the thirty five thirty and shoved out of 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.279 bounds near the twenty. A late penalty flag thrown Will 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.960 after the play, but a great interception for Cam Taylor 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.040 Britt and the Bengals get their second takeaway. Burrow ready 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.960 for the shotgun snap Drew Sample in the backfield with him. 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.640 Burrow has the ball. It's a deep drop he throws 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.080 before Gunning hit got deep ball for Higgins. He catches 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:43.240 hip touchdown Bengals. Burrow flattened at the fifty and on 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.840 his back, he holds up the touchdown signal after connecting 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.800 with the Tennessee kid t Higgins. Taja spears in it 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.880 running back lines up to the right of Will Levis, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.080 who taps both sides of his helmet as he waits 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.520 for the shotgun snap. The former UK Wildcat back to throw, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:06.160 deflected and intercepted. Mike Hilton grabs the ricochet. I think 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.560 Cam Taylor Brett tipped it to him and the Bengals 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.800 have intercepted consecutive throws by Will Levis. This will be 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.280 a twenty one yard try from the left hash for 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.680 Cad York. Ryan Rico is the holder, the snap, the placement, 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.239 the kick is up and it is good. With two 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:25.320 seconds left. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:25.520 In the half. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.279 The Bengals have gone up by ten points and Levis 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.800 under center again, turns around, fakes a hand off to Pollard, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.760 wants to throw, fires intercepted, Stone running it back. Gino's 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.640 at the twenty five twenty battle in front to block. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:45.000 He's to the five to the goal line, touchdown Bengals. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:50.080 Geno Stone with a pick six and the Bengals have 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.000 their fourth takeaway of the day. Rudolph catches the shotguns, 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.680 hands it off the balls on the ground, but Pollard 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.200 no I thought he recovered. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:58.599 He did not. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.720 It's being run back by Jorge down the sideline of 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:06.920 the thirty. The twenty gets away from Rudolph, who touchdown. Wow, Bengals. 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:13.000 Another defensive touchdown for Cincinnati. Has Pollard fumbled the ball, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.039 failed to scoop it up, and Battle ran it back 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:16.640 for the score. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:21.120 McKinley Jackson stripped it. McKinley Jackson got penetration and he 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.760 stripped the thing and man once that thing was on 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.839 the ground. Oh, he dropped, lost control of it before 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.479 he crossed the goal line. He started a celebration. Ooh, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.359 he's at the half yard line. I'm not sure he 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.120 crossed the goal line before that ball came out of 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:35.680 his hands. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:36.600 Ooh. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.239 Seven catches for Oconquo. Rudolph will throw high pass baked off. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.040 The Bengals are running it back. This is Josh Newton 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.280 and he goes down at the twenty eight yard line. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:47.640 Wow. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.599 Four interceptions for the Bengals today. Ten takeaways for the 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.880 two defenses combined. Second down and ten at the eighteen 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.719 of Cincinnati, the Bengals up by seventeen points. Rudolph to 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.640 throw short pass of the middle, caught on the run. 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.560 Tajy spears inside the five, spins away from Jordan Battle 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.880 and runs into the end zone for a Tennessee touchdown. 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.760 Third down and goal from the five for Row takes 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.920 the snap, hands it off. Chase Brown lowers the shoulder pads, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:19.000 fighting for the goal lines. He's in touchdown Bengals with 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.680 one oh nine to go, the second touchdown of the 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.160 day for Chase Brown. Five seconds to go. This will 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.040 be the final play of the game. The Bengals lead 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.240 thirty seven to twenty one. Rudolph to throw under pressure. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.760 Scrambling around to the left points into the end zone. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:38.440 Throws and it is caught for a touchdown by Josh Wiley, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.840 the Cincinnati native, with his second career touchdown catch. They 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:49.480 have both come against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Tennessee 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.920 Titans end the game with a touchdown that makes the 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:56.200 final score a little bit closer. The final was thirty 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.000 seven twenty seven Bengals. Despite playing on the sore left knee, 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.640 Joe Burrow was terrific again, throwing three touchdown passes to 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.440 raise his league leading total to thirty six. That's a 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.880 new Bengals singles He's a record, topping Joe's previous high 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.280 of thirty five and twenty twenty two. He's also thrown 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.600 at least three touchdown passes in each of the last 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.240 six games, one of them on Sunday, went to his 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.480 old Ohio State college buddy Sam Hubbard. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.800 Yeah, I was big playing the game. You know, I 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.720 had faith and Sam to go make that play. He's 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.040 got good hands and it's a play we've talked about. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.360 So I think that was a four down situation. That's 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.640 why we ended up going with that one, and it 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.640 felt good. Yeah. I mean I stayed in Sam's dorm 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.360 on one of my first visits to to Ohio State. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.079 He's been part of part of my life for a 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.880 long time. He's been a great friend, and you know, 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.600 really a guy that you can look up to when 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.800 you're young because he does things. He does things the 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.200 right way, works really hard, He's about the right things, 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.920 and you know, when you into the league, helps you 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:06.679 with your process. All the off field stuff that I do. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.280 You know, a lot of it I got from Sam. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.280 And you know, he's just a pros pro, has been 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.280 for a long time, works really hard at it, plays 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.720 great when he's in there. You just can't say enough 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.840 good things about him. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.200 Hubbard left the game shortly after that with a knee injury. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.000 He told reporters after the game that he'll get an 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:30.440 MRI done to determine the severity. Jabar Chase finished with 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.360 nine catches for ninety four yards and still leads the 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:37.640 Triple Crown categories with one hundred two catches for one 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:43.320 four hundred and thirteen yards and fifteen touchdowns. Then there's 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.640 t Higgins from oak Ridge, Tennessee, about two and a 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.920 half hours from Nashville. He had five catches for eighty 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.520 eight yards and a touchdown. And I caught up with 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.480 Tea after the game. See, you're back in the stadium 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.760 where you were honored twice as mister Football in the 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.400 state of Tennessee.

He's on his back, he throws 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.520 it up to you and the next thing we know, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.520 he's on his back giving the touchdown and signal because 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:31.439 you made a play for him. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:32.480 Yeah.

He had one 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.560 offensive snap in his NFL career prior to this. I 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.360 thought he and the entire offensive line did. 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:50.920 A nice job. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.400 Oh yeah, they did a hell of a job, you know, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.200 you know game and gave room for chasing run and 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.520 you know, hass Off to down and haus Off to 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:58.319 Chase Brown as well. 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.800 I never asked you this question. When you're playing on 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.120 the road, wearing the helmet and all the noise you 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.680 hear down on the field, can you hear the Bengals 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.400 fans that travel and say tea every time you make 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:08.839 a catch? 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.480 Oh yeah, you know, you know Cincinnati fans they travel, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:12.640 will you know what I mean? 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:13.720 Any in every. 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.240 Game and you know, and they. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:16.280 Have that team. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.719 You know, it's just a good filly, you know, I mean, 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.160 especially back home. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:19.360 Man. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.040 It's like I feel like even NY fans with saying 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.320 te just because I know I'm back home. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.280 So it's been an interesting week beginning on Monday night, 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.480 your quarterback publicly campaigning in hopes that you'll continue to 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.040 be a Bengal going forward. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:34.800 What has the week been like for you? 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.840 For me, it's just been folks on ball of trying 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.240 to put my best foot forward to get a win. 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.360 Tea recently changed agents and now shares one with his 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:49.120 running mate Jamar Chase. On defense, Mike Hilton had an 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.839 interception and three tackles in the backfield. Tennessee was also 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.360 the site of his huge playoff interception in the red 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.520 zone in twenty twenty one. I talked to the Bengals 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:05.520 fearless slot corner Mike Hilton. I thought you had one 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.959 hell of a game today. You were in the backfield 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:12.960 multiple times, you had one of four Bengals interceptions. Describe 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:14.839 but your own performance today, what'd you think? 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.000 You know, this is one of my better performances of 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.800 the year. For some reason, when we come to Nashville, 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.960 I feel like I always have some of my best games, 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.440 and you know, I was just out there making plays 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:25.880 for my team and trying to help us win. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.040 Your timing was so good on some of your blitzes today. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:33.360 Did that have anything to do with Fastinger Brian Callahan 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.640 coach team and kind of knowing what he likes to 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:36.319 do offensively? 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.000 Yeah, really, that's just me doing what I do. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.760 Best, you know, getting in the backfield time and know 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:44.000 if this is making plays. I know I'm a guy 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.800 that team's game playing for, so I know they kind 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.200 of focus on me and I just try to keep 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:48.680 my belts. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:54.959 Four interceptions, six takeaways. The defenses obviously had some games 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.200 they didn't go very well, but you made the plays 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.319 today that helped Cincinnati overcome so turnovers and penalties. 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.880 Yeah, man, we haven't played to our standard throughout the year, 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.439 but these last two games we've been playing well, uh, 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.360 getting off the field, getting turnovers, and you know, we've 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:10.520 been able to win a couple of games. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.040 So we just gotta keep stacking. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.120 And keep working. Gino still had a pick six, Jordan 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:19.080 Maddele should have had a touchdown. You're shaking your head. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.760 Man, disappointed? Man, that's you know, that was the moment 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.080 he those type of guys live for, and he just 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.640 gotta be smart and you know, taking them all through 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:26.280 the end zone. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.160 You know, it's easy for me to say, right, I 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.200 always wonder why guys don't wait and told her like 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.480 twill yards into the end zone before they start thinking 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:36.439 about a celebration. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.800 Yeah, you know, you you those chansus. You just try 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.680 to take advantage of it and you celebrate a little 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.480 prematurely and stuff like that happens. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:43.680 You know. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.199 Uh, he definitely feels bad for it, and everybody's been 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.280 making them here, but we know next time, you know, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.480 he'll he'll take it all the way through. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.960 Two wins down, you hope for three to go to 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.320 keep her a playoff hopes alive. You got the first 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.240 two done and now you got a chance with two 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:58.040 home games coming up. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.920 Yeah, you know we still we're still alive, you know, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.240 still fighting for our playoff lives. Man, he's last two 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.240 Winston in Big fours. Man, you know we got a 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.040 deep division games Sunday, so we got to prepare and 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.120 then make sure we gonna go out. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.320 Next Keu, congrats on the pick and the tackles for 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:12.679 loss and most importantly to win. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:13.480 Yes, sir, thank you. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:14.040 I keep going. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.040 Then there's Jordan Battle, who had ten tackles and should 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.880 have had a touchdown, but after picking up a fumble 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.520 and returning at sixty yards, he lost control of the 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.720 ball at the one yard line. Battle insists it was 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:34.000 not a premature celebration, just you know. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.520 Trying to switch the ball on to my to my 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.920 left man. Uh no, no, trying to intuitly drop the ball. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.120 I know that's what y'all want, oil, But I no, 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.040 I did not. I did not intendinately drop the ball, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.840 just trying to switch it over to my opposite hand, 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:45.560 you know. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.640 I just you were not beginning a celebration. 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.760 No, never, I was just trying to cross the line 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.920 and didn't celebrate. I was gonna celebrate regardless. But after 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.240 I crossed the line, not before. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.880 Did you know right away that you weren't in when 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:00.480 it slipt out? 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:00.960 Yeah? 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:01.480 Yeah, if you. 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.000 I mean, I don't know if y'all saw, like if 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.560 they can see it on the TV. But like if 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.880 you saw like on like the Titans, the Titans big screen, 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.880 you see me like telling I think Michael's right there, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.040 he's trying to celebrate me. I'm like, nah, nah, I 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.000 think I just dropped the ball. So I'm not celebrating 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.360 right now. We got the w and that's all I wanted. Man, 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.520 So I'm excited.

I might have got a bunch 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:34.280 of gifts. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.080 I already know. I know they're coming at me, but 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:37.040 I'm not looking. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:37.800 I'm not looking. 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:38.520 I'm enjoying the win. 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.880 Hey, six takeaways for the defense. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.080 Thank Yeah, Yeah, we love it. That's that's what we 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.840 love to see, Cities takeaways. You know, obviously you've been 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.280 selling you know, early season and mid season, but just 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:50.840 to see the last two games, how he progress. 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.080 Hopefully we keep doing that, you know, these next. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.120 Next three or three or three games? Yeah, next three game. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:56.800 I hope we keep doing this next three games, you know, 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:58.800 keep building and the season the right way. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.200 Battle by the way, turn twenty four on Saturday. The 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.600 win keeps the Bengals playoff hopes alive, as they pulled 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.520 even with the Dolphins and Colts, who both lost on Sunday. 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.720 All three teams are six and eight. Denver one to 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.240 improve to nine to five, and the Chargers lost to 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.040 fall to eight and six. So here's what has to 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.120 happen for the Bengals to make it. They need to 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:29.000 win their last three games and hope that Denver loses 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:33.600 its last three or that the Chargers lose their last three. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.880 Those two teams face each other next week. A Denver 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:43.240 loss would probably be more helpful. Additionally, the Dolphins and 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:47.520 Colts need to lose at least one of their final three. 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.080 Now let's hear what Zach Taylor had to say. Is 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.360 he spent a few minutes with Dave Lapham after the game. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.080 On seven straight possessions after they scored their second touchdown, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:03.880 they went fumble interception, interception, three and out, pick six, 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.119 fumble interception, seven straight possessions. 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.080 Are defense did a great job taking it off of them, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:10.280 you know. So you got to catch the ones that 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.320 throw to you and find ways to create the fumbles 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.600 the loose balls, and our guys did that and for 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.439 the most part finished with them. You know, I know, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.480 we had the one that's unacceptable. We can't have the touchback. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.600 But my point is returned those for big gains, you know, 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.560 and put us in really good field possessional offense. 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.640 The penalty is uncharacteristic. I think it ended up fourteen 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.760 for one hundred and fourteen yards for the Bengals, in 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.199 twelve for at least one hundred might might have been 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.879 one hundred and twenty or one hundred and ten anyway 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.800 for a Tennessee. So, I mean it was a strange game. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.800 Double digit turnovers and then both teams having double digit 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:44.480 penalties with over one hundred yards apiece. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.280 Yeah, a lot of those were embarrassing. You know, we 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.120 can't have the procedural self that we had happened today 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.520 that set us back and put you into second fifteen 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.240 and the next thing, you know, it's the possessions dead. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.360 And so we got to be better. We pride ourselves 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.120 on being great in that area, being best in the league, 0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:59.680 and today wasn't up to that. 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.160 Stow Devin cockran and I caught up with him as well. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:03.800 I mean I took my cap to the kid. I know, 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.560 the first the first series maybe a little bit goosey, 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.960 but I mean he settled down and I thought I 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.600 thought he was very solid out there. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:12.000 Yeah. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.239 I thought he really calmed down as the game went on, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:15.960 and we tried to help him the best we could. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.800 But he did a good job. He's earned that opportunity 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.720 and we had confidence in him. That's why we elevated 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.320 him and signed him into the fifty three and trusted 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:23.720 him to go out there, and he did a great 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:24.360 job for us. 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.000 Chase Brown continues to impress. I mean, ninety seven yards 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.360 on twenty five carries and had it. You know, he's 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.800 a threat out of the backfield catching the football as well. 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.760 I mean, when you have the weapons you have in 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.480 the passing attack and he's part of it, and then 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.160 him complimenting in the running game, it's tough. 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:42.879 Yeah, just anyway you can get him the ball. You know, 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.119 he's another weapon we have that has an opportunity to 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.439 be explosive, and you know, we're happy to have him 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:49.720 and we try to find out as many ways as 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:50.440 we can to use him. 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.000 Okay, everybody, everybody wants to know what you and Kelly 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.960 talk about when you guys caught up pregame or post 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:58.600 game or was it just all football all the time? 0:18:58.600 --> 0:18:58.879 Today? 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.320 We talking now off to where there's no major conversations. 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.240 You know, I'm happy for the opportunity he has and 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:04.440 pulling form the rest of the way. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.720 I know, you guys not just football friends, but you know, 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.919 are really close, really really good friends as well.
