However, 115 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: the news coming out of the locker room after the 116 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: game was encouraging. It sounds like neither players expected to 117 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: miss a significant period of time. Brown's quarterback Deshan Watson, 118 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: on the other hand, is likely out for the rest 119 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: of the year with an achilles injury.

Now, let's take 124 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: you inside the locker room. The play of the day 125 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: was the game's first play, the one hundred yard kickoff 126 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: return touchdown by Charlie Jones, as he became the third 127 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: player in the league to take one to the house 128 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: under the new kickoff format, and Charlie's one hundred yard 129 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: runback is the longest in the NFL this year.

After only 215 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: scoring two touchdowns on Sunday night against the Giants, the 216 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 2: Bengals offense only scored two against the Browns on a 217 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: pair of third quarter touchdown passes by Joe Burrow. The 218 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: Bengals are actually averaging two and a half fewer points 219 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 2: in their three wins than they are in their four losses. 220 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: And that's fine by Burrow. 221 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 7: We played two really good defense defenses back to back weeks. 222 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 7: Good front's good secondary, good coaching, and so we found 223 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 7: ways to win. You know, I don't really everybody's talking 224 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 7: about how good our offense was for the first four 225 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 7: weeks whatever it was, and we were one in three, 226 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 7: so that's obviously not ideal. I'd rather be everyone talking 227 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 7: about how we didn't execute it on offense and win 228 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 7: two games in a row, then the other way around. 229 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 2: Joe finished fifteen for twenty five for one hundred and 230 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: eighty one yards, with two touchdowns, no picks, and a 231 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: passer rating of one oh eight point nine. He's now 232 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 2: second in the NFL in passer rating, behind Detroit's Jared Goff, 233 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: who's had a rating of one forty or higher in 234 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: three straight games.

And it looked like 292 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 4: in the first half they were run some combination coverages 293 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 4: and doing some things changed and some things up. 294 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: Was it? 295 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: Did you have to talk it over at halftime and 296 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: make some adjustments to look like you made some Oh? 297 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 8: We just I think we all just need to take 298 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 8: a deep breath and find a way to create some momentum. Offense. 299 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 8: Got that stop on fourth and two that gave us 300 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 8: some momentum. And really that's all I said at halftime. 301 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 8: Let's get the momentum, let's keep the momentum, let's keep 302 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 8: it away from them. And that's how we started the 303 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 8: second half. So it's proud of probably those guys in 304 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 8: all three phases. 305 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 4: What did you think, other than obviously the kickoff return 306 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: to start the football game, you wanted to get off 307 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 4: to a good start because you know that crowd was 308 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 4: going to be empty. They've been on the road for 309 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 4: three straight games, you know, and chubbs back and all 310 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: those kind of things. For you guys to take the 311 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 4: wind out of their sales with that kickoff returned. That 312 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 4: was just what the doctor ordered, wouldn't it. 313 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 8: There's no better way to start, you know, really to 314 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 8: create that opportunity for your defense to go out there 315 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 8: with the lead right out the gate. I thought it 316 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 8: was big time. So that was a great momentum by 317 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 8: Charlie and the kickoff return team and Darren and that 318 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 8: was good to see. 319 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: What'd you think about the running game today? 320 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 8: There was a couple one offs there where we were 321 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 8: just maybe one block away at different positions for more opportunity, 322 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 8: but tried our best to stick with it to give 323 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 8: ourselves some and we got a couple of big chunks 324 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 8: there ten yard games that created spark on some of 325 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 8: those scoring drives. And so it's not always going to 326 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 8: be super pretty, but defense gave us anough opportunity to 327 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 8: stick with it and try to grind it out and 328 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 8: get some good field position. 329 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow now is fourteen touchdown passes, six of them 330 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 4: to Jamar, three of them to Tea. I mean that 331 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 4: trio continued to play at a super high level for you, 332 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: don't they Yeah. 333 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 8: I wouldn't trade them for anybody that says it all. 334 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 8: That's all I need to say. 335 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 4: Coach, appreciate it, Thanks as always for visiting. Big win 336 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 4: for the Bengals. Anytime you could come to Cleveland and 337 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 4: win a football game, it's a good thing. Believe me, I. 338 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: Didn't know that until now. 339 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 8: I'll take it up. 340 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 2: Next for the Bengals a home game against the Philadelphia Eagles, 341 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: who are four and two after beating the New York 342 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: Giants on Sunday twenty eight to three. Saquon Barkley ran 343 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: for one hundred and seventy six yards on seventeen carries 344 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: against his former team, and the Eagles defense had eight 345 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: sacks in that game. Now time for the radio guys recap. 346 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 5: Lap. 347 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: As you said after the game, it was gritty more 348 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: than pretty, but they came to Cleveland and they got 349 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: a win for the first time in seven tries. 350 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was gritty, grimy, whatever you want to call it. 351 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 4: But you know they found a way to get it done. 352 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 4: And really, if not for special teams, I mean, score 353 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 4: a touchdown, twenty yard return, give some good field position. 354 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 4: I thought that was a big factor, you know, in 355 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 4: the football game, in a game like this, to control 356 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 4: field position to the level that they did. I mean 357 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 4: it was like thirteen possessions. It's like one hundred and 358 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 4: fifty four yards in hidden yards. In terms of the field, 359 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 4: there's a thirteen yards average drive star times whatever number 360 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 4: of possessions. And you know, you in a game like 361 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 4: this to have one hundred and fifty hidden yards to 362 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 4: your advantage in terms of that in short fields for you, 363 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 4: long fields for you, the opponent makes a difference, has 364 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 4: a wear and tear on you. 365 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people, myself included, tend to 366 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: think of a kick return as just a great play 367 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 2: by the return man as opposed to. 368 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: A real play with a scheme and a plan. 369 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 2: And this was very much executed exactly the way they 370 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: drew it up and practiced it absolutely. 371 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 4: I talked to Darren in the postgame and I said, 372 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 4: this was a little bit different, a little bit new 373 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 4: with drew sample leading up in there. He goes, yeah, 374 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 4: you know, we put that in and it just worked, 375 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: worked a perfection. I can't complain about it. And I 376 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 4: mean he's got a friendly rivalry going with the special 377 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 4: teams coach up here in Cleveland. They're pretty good friends 378 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 4: as well, as you know, both are assistant head coaches 379 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 4: and special teams coaches, and they have a heavy dose 380 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 4: of respect for each other. So I think Darren got 381 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 4: this one with that kickoff return. And then unfortunately, you know, 382 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 4: Cleveland's kicker misses a field goal and an extra point. 383 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 4: Bengals missed a field goal to kind offset that a 384 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 4: little bit, but you know, it was one of those 385 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 4: games where every single point mattered and when you didn't 386 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 4: get them, it was a concern. But that kickoff return 387 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 4: to start the game like well, like we talked about, 388 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 4: they'd come off the road, three straight in the road, 389 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 4: so the fans were ready. Chubbs back fans are ready. 390 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 4: Best thing to do quiet them down. One hundred yard 391 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 4: kickoff return touchdown serves the trick right there, and it gave. 392 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: The offense the opportunity to make adjustments and figure out 393 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: a way to get something done against the Browns. They 394 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 2: didn't score offensively in the first half, but after tweaking 395 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: some things, they got a couple of big touchdown passes. 396 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 4: In the second they did I mean, neither team ran 397 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 4: the ball you know, really worth to lick. Bengals had 398 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 4: two and a two point four yards per carry on 399 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 4: twenty five chances at it. And you take away Robinson's 400 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: run Thompson Robinson, which you can't do. I mean, he 401 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 4: got it, but that one was kind of a little 402 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 4: trickeration as such. And the rest of the carries twenty 403 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 4: carries for forty three yards for Cleveland. I mean, even 404 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 4: with that big carry at three point seven per so 405 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 4: it turned into you know, who was gonna, you know, 406 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 4: make more play Both neither team really had. The big 407 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 4: play was not a constant for either football team. The 408 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 4: Bengals longest played from scrimmage was twenty five yards. They 409 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 4: had twenty five yard played twenty two and twenty one. 410 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 4: Cleveland had the thirty four yard run we talked about 411 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 4: the Thompson Robinson. Then they had twenty five yard completion 412 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: from Winston, and then Washington had a completion for twenty 413 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 4: one yards. 414 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 3: That was it. 415 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: Both teams had three plays of twenty yards more and 416 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 4: in the National Football League. In today's National Football League, 417 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 4: that's kind of rare to have a defensive Slobrinarco likely 418 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 4: w here. 419 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 2: The Browns are one and six they haven't scored more 420 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 2: than eighteen points in a game this season. I think 421 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: they'll probably score more with Jamis Winston at quarterback going forward. 422 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 2: I still think that's the best defense in the league. 423 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 4: I can't argue with you, Dan. I mean, man, you know, 424 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 4: they did a pretty good job neutralizing Miles Garrett. But 425 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 4: everybody just does their job, you know, and Miles Garrett 426 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 4: will flash and make like a huge play. But even 427 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 4: if he doesn't, everybody's where they're supposed to be when 428 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 4: they're supposed to be. They're doing exactly what they're supposed 429 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 4: to do. That defensive front is hard to move around. 430 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 4: I think the back end that's as good as secondary 431 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 4: as you going to see. I mean, it's like they 432 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 4: just they just cover everybody up. It's amazing. I mean 433 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 4: you have to work hard to make plays against that group. 434 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 4: And you know, there's familiarity there. Cleveland has familiarity with 435 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 4: Cincinnati and vice versa. It's I think it's always going 436 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 4: to be this grimy, gritty, you know type football game. 437 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: We know how good Denzel Ward is, Martin Emerson's almost 438 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: as good. He's great on the other side as well 439 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: he is, And. 440 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: You know there's safe play. Well, yeah, it's well put 441 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 4: together and Schwartz is creative. I mean in the first half, 442 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 4: you know, talking to Zach, they did run some combination coverages, 443 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 4: mix things up that had the Bengals a little bit 444 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 4: but fuddled. But they did make some adjustments at halftime 445 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 4: and come out and make some plays and get some 446 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 4: things done. But I mean, that's a well put together, 447 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 4: well coached defensive football team at every level you can 448 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 4: think of. And you know, only scored fourteen points against him. Really, 449 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: you know, the special team's touchdown was the difference in 450 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: the football game. 451 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 2: As a former O lineman, how much do you appreciate 452 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: Cody Ford's performance playing on the left side, which he 453 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: mostly hasn't done in the NFL. He did in college, 454 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: but he's mostly been right guard right tackle in the NFL, 455 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 2: and then coming in at left tackle against Miles Garrett 456 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: in Cleveland. 457 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 4: Big time respect for Cody Ford, big time respect. They 458 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 4: helped him some, you know, they would chip with the 459 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 4: back or do it, but he had a lot of 460 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: one on ones man and he more than held his own. 461 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 4: I thought that they overall did a very very good 462 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 4: job of controlling Miles Garrett throughout the entire football game. 463 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 4: He didn't put up, you know, any huge numbers, and 464 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 4: I can't think of, oh my gosh, you know Miles Garrett, 465 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 4: player that you see from time to time. They they 466 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 4: kept him in a harness pretty well. 467 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: They've won two straight, they've won three out of four. 468 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 2: The only loss is when they botched the hold of 469 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 2: a field goal attempt, or they would have a four 470 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: game winning streak and a good record at this point. 471 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: Can we safely say they are back in the hunt? 472 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean i'd say that there's a lot of 473 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 4: meat left on the bone. I think they can play 474 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 4: a lot better than they did today. But defensively, I 475 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 4: mean the last two weeks, twenty one points and eight quarters. 476 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: You know, you can't sneeze at that's that's pretty good 477 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: effort right there. And then special teams contributed today. So 478 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 4: when offense had, you know, not its best day, defense 479 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 4: stepped up. Special team stepped up. Like we always talked 480 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 4: about it. You have two of the three phases playing 481 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 4: at a pretty good level. You have a shot no 482 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 4: matter what those two of the three phases are. So 483 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 4: I think that, yeah, I think they've not reached their 484 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 4: pinnacle by any stretch. I think they're still climbing, but 485 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 4: they're back in the hunt for sure. I mean they 486 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 4: get their first division win, first conference win on the 487 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 4: road in Cleveland, where they haven't won since twenty seventeen. 488 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 4: There's a lot to celebrate there. 489 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: Time to get their first home win. 490 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: You got that right. 491 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 4: Maybe two in a row, get two wins back at 492 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 4: old pay Corps. How about putting two together. That'd be 493 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 4: sweet shug. 494 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: The Bengals are three and one on the road and 495 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: would be four and oh if not for that fourth 496 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 2: and sixteen penalty at Kansas City. But they're zero to 497 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: three at home.
