It's the greatest thing since inexplicable Hot Streaks. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.800 I am a mediocre pool player. In fact, I might 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.560 not even be mediocre. But recently, my wife Peg and 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.520 I went out to a bar and decided to play pool. 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.000 I don't know how it happened. I don't know why 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.720 it happened, but for some reason, I got white hot 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.959 and played like I was Minnesota Fats in his prime. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:37.120 Bank shots, sharp side pocket shots that required Joe Burrow accuracy, 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.280 you name it, I did it, and the game was 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.720 over in record time. Peg wanted a rematch. I told 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.800 her it would have to wait. I am not going 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.240 to spoil the memory of that performance for at least 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.560 another week. Now, let's get to the radio replays from 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.680 the Bengals' latest thrilling win over Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.600 and the Kansas City Chiefs. Second and goal from the 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.000 Kansas City four, eight fifty four left in the first quarter, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.840 Burrow runs a quarterback draw shoe, sacing toward the end 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.520 zone and waiting for the touchdown signal. There it is 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:20.520 touchdown Bengals as they go seventy five yards to begin 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.920 the game, and Joe Burrow runs it in from the 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.040 four third down and eight from the Kansas City twelve 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.240 boyd motions. He lines up in the slot to the 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.040 left with chase out wide to the left, Higgins out 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.240 to the right. Burrow throws a sling Higgins, we didn't 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.400 catch get it. He breaks the tackle, he extends the ball. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:45.880 Touchdowns pangals as the Bengals score touchdowns on their first 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:51.359 two drives. And Gee Higgins, big strong body, full grown 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.880 man not not only does he box people out and 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.720 out jump people from the football high point the football. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.079 It's six four two twenty pounds or so. That run 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.840 after catch was as good as you're gonna see. Mahomes 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.519 in the gun, McKinnon to his right. Three receivers in 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.480 a cluster out to the left. Mahomes catches the shotgun, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.280 snap throws, but Kennon catches, and he runs into the 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.680 end zone for the Kansas City touchdown. Yeah, McKinnon was 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.079 wide open from jump Street Burrow under center fourth in 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.640 less than a yard fifty one seconds left and a 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.920 half p Ryan behind him, and running back Burrow touches 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.000 his helmet, Sama j p Ryan gets closer. He might 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.680 be pushing Joe Burrow here. Burrow gave it to Trent 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.000 Taylor and he's tackled for a loss. Carl Carlos Dune 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.960 Lab of all people Carlos Dunlap hits the gap and 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.640 crushes the Bengals on a goal line stand. Mahomes walks 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.840 up to the offensive line, now backs up into the shotgun. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.560 Skymore goes in jet motion out to the right. They 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.480 handed off the checkout. He's got the first down, He's 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.240 got a touchdown, spinning his way up the middle of 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.600 the field and into the end zone for an eight 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.960 yard fourth and goal from the three. J. G. Smith 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.920 Schuster goes in motion. Mike Hilton follows him out to 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.280 the right. Mahomes back to throw pump fakes, running up 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.360 the middle of the field, leaps forward, loses the ball 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.240 into the end zone already what they call it touchdown. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.320 He had held the ball over the goal line before 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.640 it was punched free and it's a touchdown for Kansas City. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:27.120 Mahomes waiting for the shotgun snap, he catches, He looks, 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.720 He throws his sidearm throw caught over the middle. Jermaine 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.960 Pratts will bring down Travis Gusley. The ball comes out. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.680 The Bengals have it yes head midfield. Jamar chases in 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.960 the backfield next to Burrow. Burrow wants to throw short 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:46.000 pass caught at the five, Chris Evans into the end zone, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:52.839 touchdown Bengals. Cincinnati takes the lead with eight fifty four 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.760 to go. The play clock is at four. Mahomes is ready, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.760 stomps the right foot, catches the shotgun. Snap, here comes 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:05.159 the uh Mahomes wringing his tackle. He sacked brought down 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:10.040 by Joseph Osai at the thirty six. It's fourth and six. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.200 Will the Chiefs go for the long field goal? He'd 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.120 be about a fifty four yard or if they do, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.240 he and they will from fifty five yards away, trying 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.880 to tie it low snap handled, The kick is on 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:27.320 its way. No no get, no good. He missed it, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.839 and the Bengals will get the ball at their own 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.000 forty five with three nineteen to go. Listen to the 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.560 crowd here at pay Course Stadium. Burs in the shotgun. 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.559 Two receivers left, one out to the right. Zach Taylor 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.440 jesting wildly to get Tyler Boyd to go in motion. 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.520 He does. Burrow drops back to throw, wants to throw 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.920 his pass over the pool. His car by tea heading 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:57.080 in traffic at the fourteen, and that his coffin nail 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:03.520 damn bam. Joshua Williams. Welcome to the National Football League. 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.640 You had great coverage by man, but Tee Haggins was 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.279 just better and Joe Burrow through him a perfect ball. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.560 Tee Haggins makes the play. And as for the play 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:19.840 call by Zach Taylor, in the words of Bill Raftery onion, Yeah, gutsie. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.159 Whoa gutsie to say the least, of course, it's much 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.640 easier to make gutsie play calls when they are being 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:30.000 executed by Joe Burrow. The Bengals quarterback, who turns twenty 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.919 six next Saturday, went twenty five for thirty one that's 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.440 eighty one percent for two hundred and eighty six yards, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:41.400 with two touchdown passes, no interceptions, and a passer rating 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.480 of one twenty six point six. He also ran for 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.599 forty six yards and a touchdown. His favorite target was 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.800 Jamar Chase. After missing four games with a hairline hip fracture, 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.760 Chase had seven catches for ninety seven yards and talked 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:02.520 to Dave Lapham after the game. Jamar Chase, He's back. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.279 So what was it like out there? Man? Take us 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.719 through it? How was your conditioning? I mean, I know 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:14.280 you're shaped like crazy. Oh my god, yo yo, I 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.400 was so tired all that dog. It was good to 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.880 be back, don't you know what I'm saying? Um t 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.800 I and Stan was doing a good job of getting 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.080 me out of the game when they see me tired. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.800 And Zach was doing a good job on the play 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.280 calls and stuff too, so it was all around good. Yeah. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.160 I mean I figured, you know, because they told you, look, 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.440 don't do anything, you know, get off of it, don't so, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.240 I mean, you go from like nothing to one hundred 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.280 miles an hour. It's like, man, that's a that's a 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.880 big shock to anybody's system. But you're a genetic Creek man. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.680 For you to be able to call out and play 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.280 like you did tonight with all the time that you talk, 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.640 that's just unbelievable. Where does all this ability come from? 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:50.920 I really don't know, man, I was so excited to 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.240 come back today. I just I was really trying to 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.080 hold all my energy, and that's probably what happened. You know. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:57.880 If I'd been too excited to play this game out 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.200 of wasted all my energy being a pregame and locker 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.360 room celebrating, then you know, I probably would have had 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.560 that game. But I had saved all my energy for 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.080 this game. So Somaje goes for over one hundred rushing, 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.320 you almost get one hundred receiving. I think that's balanced. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:12.800 I mean, that's that's what you need to do to 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.360 beat good football teams. You guys have beaten the Kansas 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.160 City Chiefs three times in less than one calendar year. 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.520 What yeah, I mean, we're just doing a good job 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.880 of executing at the right time, and and we gotta 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:25.200 win a game in a full quarter. I guess the 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:30.480 Chiefs it's it's unbelievable. And every game comes down to 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.760 you know, it's like a three point game. It's like 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.959 making a play or not making a play. That's what 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.960 it comes down to. Who asked the ball lasting who 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.600 makes a play exactly. And we did a good job 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.480 at that today. Me getting the first down, Somaja getting 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.360 another first down, to Tea getting another first down. So 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.640 that's constantly first down to keep the chains moving so 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.760 we can keep the ball. And when you get your 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.560 first down, Tee through a hell of a block for 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.400 you to seal the edge and get you get you 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.640 around the horn. And we talked about it many times, 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.320 just wide receiver corps, so unselfish man. They'll block for 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.600 each other. It doesn't matter who's who's getting the glory 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.760 of such. Everybody does their job right. It's funny because 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.679 T went off on me today. I never never went 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.079 off on me. So when T went off on me, 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.199 I was a little struck because I was supposed to 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.360 stay and falling bounds on a two minute drill and 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.560 T looked at me and started going off. I didn't. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.079 I didn't expect him to do that. So that me. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.240 You know what I'm saying, he caring and who wants 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:17.960 me to do the right thing? And I need somebody 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.600 to be on me like that. So good teammates, Well, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.800 it's good to have you back. Good to have number 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.400 one back. And uh one final question. When you guys 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.560 come off the football field and their mixing coverages up 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.640 like that, who do you talk to? Do you talk 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.679 to the receiver coach? Do you talk to Joe who 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.920 gathers all the information the consensus to make the proper adjustments. 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.040 We talked to everybody pretty much, you know. We talked 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.600 to Troll, we talked to Joe, and we talked to 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.000 Zach sometimes. So like, I mean, everyone's gonna input on 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.800 what's going on. We don't want to just tell one person, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.280 so we gotta be on the same page out there. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:51.920 Appreciate you, thank you, welcome back, Appreciate it. Jason was back, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.959 but Joe Mixon wasn't. He missed the second straight game 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.959 after failing to clear concussion protocol. Awesome. I J P. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.040 Ryan did. Was carried twenty one times for one hundred 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.800 six yards and catch six passes for forty nine more. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.200 Here's Joe Burrow on p Rhyan. I'm so happy that 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.960 he's taken this opportunity and done what he's done with 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.560 it because he's one of those guys that you love 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.719 being around, love being around every single day brings a 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:23.160 juice so consistent, day in and day out. He's going 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.719 to get you two or three if there's nothing there, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.599 and that's that's valuable. Sabaj's one hundred yard rushing performance 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.720 was the third of his NFL career and his first 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.760 in a Bengals uniform. The Bengals Booth Podcast is presented 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.400 by Kettering Health, the official healthcare provider of the Bengals, 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.800 with more than one hundred twenty care facilities and fifteen 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.760 hundred care providers Kettering Health is committed to guiding you 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.840 to your best health. Visit Kettering health dot org to 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.240 learn more. The Bengals made two huge defensive plays in 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.000 the fourth quarter that made their win possible. Bow First, 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.960 Jermaine Pratt ripped the ball away from Travis Kelsey and 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.120 then recovered the fumble with the Bengals trailing by four, 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.800 The offense capitalized with a fifty three yard touchdown drive 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.839 and took the lead for good on Burrow's touchdown pass 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.280 to Chris Evans. And then, after Kansas City drove to 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.840 the Bengals thirty three with less than four minutes to go, 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:25.320 Joseph Osi sack Mahomes on third down in three and 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.480 the Chiefs missed a fifty five yard game tying field 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.840 goal attempt on the next play. Kansas City never got 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.000 the ball back. I caught up with Osai in front 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.520 of his locker. It was it was scary for a second, 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.199 because you know, I knew we had a spy player, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.320 So I knew I had inside or outside go, so 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.160 I took. I chose to take inside, but he got 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.160 away from me. And you know he's so dangerous when 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.200 he breaks pocket. You know he can he can throw 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.360 from multiple different angles. So I was just trying to 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.000 get him, get him back and get him back and 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.760 saying get him on the ground just such as possible. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.000 So a little bit scary, but I'm glad I've never 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.800 gonna get it done. So cam sample is two lockers 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:10.000 over to the left. He said, ask you about the celebration. Yeah, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.760 the first, the first one with the falcons. I went 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.880 too crazy and then they were all me about it 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.640 in meetings. You know, it was kind of funny. So 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.240 I just overcorrected and I just turned around and hug 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.360 my guy so that they thought that was funny. But 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.160 you know what I mean, it's it's all as so 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.839 a part of the game. To beat this team three 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.920 times in this calendar year. What's that mean? It means 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.839 it means we believe what we say. You know what 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.480 I mean. They gotta play us, and um, we're gonna 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.920 keep going. We're gonna keep stepping and one win at 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.880 a time, woman at a time is behind us. Now 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:46.400 next game. Jermaine Pratt makes a point at practice to 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.360 always talk about how it's about the ball. You gotta 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.000 for us, turnovers, etc. It's fitting a strip and to 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.200 recovery for share A big money pee, that's what we 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.600 call him. So he came up, Hugh Shore us. We 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.880 needed that, we needed that stop, and not only did 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.959 he get the stop, but he's the ball away as well, 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.480 so so we could have great feel position and we 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:04.760 went on too. I think we went on to put 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.440 up points on that on that drive. So um, big 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.040 play for us. He's a big key to our defense 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.080 and we're lucky to have him. Where are you guys 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.120 verbalizing it? Were you saying we need a takeaway? Of 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.080 course we always we always say that we always need 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.080 to take away every drive, either either three and out 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.280 or we need to take away. So you know what 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.640 I mean. It is what it is. No team had 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.640 beaten Patrick Mahomes three times in a row in his 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.840 NFL career. I don't know if you're aware of that. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.800 It doesn't sound like it. Uh, what what does that 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.960 mean to you? I wasn't. I wasn't here for the 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:36.640 first two, so you have to ask someone else. But 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.040 I'm pretty sure it's it's exciting to them. He's a 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.400 great player, possible, definitely a Hall of Famer. So I'm 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.000 pretty sure everybody who was part of the team that 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.160 did that. It's gonna be happy about that for sure. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.480 You were here for number three and made a big play. Congratulationship, 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.320 I thank you. I want to share one more postgame interview. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.640 Midway through the third quarter, with the Bengals trailing by three, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:02.199 Tyler Boy dropped an easy eight yard touchdown pass. In 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.240 his seven years with the Bengals, do you ever remember 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.959 Tyler Boy dropping a sure touchdown? I don't. It doesn't 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:16.040 sting nearly as much when your team pulls out the win. Tyler, Congratulations, 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.640 a phenomenal win. You guys beat the Chiefs three times 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.880 in the calendar year of twenty twenty two. Nobody has 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.000 ever beaten Mahomes three times in a row. How satisfying 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.000 is this win? I mean, at the end of the day, 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.400 we have a great team. You know, we play collectively 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.800 as a whole, and we take opportunity, we take advantage 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.640 of opportunities, and uh, we're gonna continue to play like 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.760 that because we're a force to be reckoning with. I'm 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.720 sure you're bummed about dropping that possible touchdown pass. You 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.040 had the most targets of any player in the league 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.480 last year without a single drop, so we know it 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.840 almost never happens. Did it hit you in the helmet? Yeah? Man, 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.880 I was just too relaxed when to play, you know, 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.520 I usually just go go go catch it, and it 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.880 just it got to me. It kind of got away 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.200 from it hit me to face the mass. I didn't 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.640 even touch my hands, So I was got to tighten 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.960 up and just just always booked the ball in. Cousin 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.560 hurt nearly as badly when the team pulls out the 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.000 victory and you had some big catches in the in 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.080 the win as well. Absolutely, you know this is a 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.520 big win. You know, it's a message. You're a statement, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.600 you know, not for us, but for everybody out there 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.400 and not not believing in us, you know, because we 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.320 still got the team and we still got the potential 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.000 in the talent to go where we last left off 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.600 last or so. I mean, it's a great win, but 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.320 we got to win these conference games, the division games, 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.360 and continue to roll. Right after the two minute warning, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.600 it's third and long. Everybody's wondering to your run and 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.520 try to kill the clock or do you try to 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.880 throw a pass to basically end the game. I don't 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.240 know if t was open, Joe somehow threaded the needle 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.320 team made the catch. What were your thoughts on that play? Yeah, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:45.880 I think it could have win either or you know, 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.920 so Marga was toting the ball right, but it was 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.960 third and ten, So Zach, trust the guys we got. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.000 We got the best receivers in the league, and we 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:55.600 got the best quarterback in the league. So let me 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.680 put the ball in our hands. You guys have kind 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.640 of had this mantra lately. They've got to play us. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.800 I think the league is recognizing that you better include 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.640 Cincinnati on the list when talking about the best teams 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.920 in the league. Absolutely, you know, um, even though we 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.600 got to arguably to probably the best with the toughest 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.880 schedule in the league, we don't care about that because 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.960 we are the toughest team in the league. I saw 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.040 we prechare ourself, you know. But at the end of 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.600 the day, like I continue to say, we go out 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.640 there and I'll execute the teams and continue to play 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.760 polish and play poison, play fundamental football, and then we'll 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.280 always continue to be on top. It's a great receiving 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.280 group and you're the guy that leads it. Congrats on 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.800 the win, Appreciate you. The Bengals move podcast is brought 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.800 to you in part by Bengals Picks and Ultimate Bengals. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.080 They're free to play, with tickets and signed merchandise up 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:44.800 for grabs. Find both inside the Bengals app. With the win, 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.200 the Bengals remain in a tie for first in the 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.760 AFC North with Baltimore. The Ravens eked out a ten 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:55.080 nine win over Denver on Sunday after Lamar Jackson exited 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.880 with a knee injury. Baltimore says it's not season ending, 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:03.320 but it sounds like Jackson could miss some time. The 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.040 Ravens next two games are on the road in the division, 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.920 at Pittsburgh next week and at Cleveland the following week. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:17.439 Now time for this week's radio guys recap la. We 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.920 love our jobs, but some days are better than others. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.040 And that was about as fun as it gets. What 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.040 a game. Another classic between the Bengals and the Chiefs. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.679 And I'm still processing the fact that they beat that 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.440 team three times in one calendar year by a total 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:37.720 of nine points, three times by three point victories. It's 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.360 really quite incredible. I mean, when you look at this one, 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.320 No Joe Barrow does this thing. Throws for two hundred 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.960 and eighty six yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, quarterback rating 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.400 one twenty six plus. Pete Rhyin goes for one hundred 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.480 and six on twenty one carries five yards of carry, 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.960 and then Jamar Chase comes back seven catches on eight 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.680 targets for ninety seven yards almost fourteen per with a 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.480 long of forty. I mean they're balanced. They're difficult to 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.679 deal with when when you've got all of that and 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.640 the opposite side of it. I mean, they shut down Kelsey, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.320 that was the big thing. He was the second leading 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:14.440 receiver with fifty six yards. Valdo Scanning had seventy one. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.920 I mean, but I mean they Mahomes didn't throw three 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:20.800 hundred yards. The Bengals have still to give up a 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.520 three hundred yard passing day. Mahomes had six in a 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.919 row coming into this football game. It's just a complete 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.639 team effort. Again, offense, defense, special teams. Everybody contributed, and 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.280 when you're playing against a team as good as the 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.720 Kansas City Chiefs, everybody does have to contribute. You have 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.120 to play a complete game. There's no doubt. Let's talk 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.359 about the coffin nails moment after the two minute warning. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.160 What was better the throw, the catch or the call 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.479 by Zach Taylor, all of it. Man. I mean, you know, 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.879 this team has what I think is a quiet confidence. 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.919 I think they're extremely confident, but there's not a lot 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.040 of trash talk and all that sort of thing. And 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.960 I think they handle, you know, their confidence in a 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:07.680 very very likable way, except for opponents obviously, but I mean, 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.119 I think that they handle that so well. And for 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.359 Zach to go for the win, you know, to go 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.200 for the throat right there, you know, and it's over, 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.120 and then have the confidence that his quarterback will make 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.119 the right play, and then the receiver on the on 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.720 the other end of it will will as well as 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.480 big I mean, but I'll tell you a big thing 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.040 in that football game, Trey Henderson checks out, he taps out, 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:35.080 he's tired. Incomes Joseph Asai and he's going against Orlando 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.159 Zeus Brown, a hell of a player, beats him right 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.200 away inside, you know, fresh legs, fresh off the bench, 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.520 and he just he motored man and uh and he 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.760 got He got Mahomes to step up in the pocket 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.920 and retrace the steps, took us his feet out from 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.960 under him and got that quarterback sack which led to 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.880 the fifty five yard field goal, which was wide right. 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.400 I mean, that's we're talking about roster depth. We've talked 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.400 about it, you know, with Joe Mixon down, with Jamar 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.640 chased down, and even when guys aren't down, the fact 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.960 that you can roll people in and have confidence rolling 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.440 a bunch of guys in and Osi made a huge, 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.760 huge play, no question. I'll tell you who's really happy, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.439 Tyler Boyd. He doesn't have to, you know, feel guilty 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.080 for the first drop of the year, or one of 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.280 the very few drops he's had in several years hit 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.399 him in the head, is that right? Yeah, it hit 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.240 him in the face mask. I didn't look like it 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.360 hit him in both hands though, too. It grazed off 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.040 his face mask. So I mean to me, I guess 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.600 he just didn't judge it right because it wasn't that difficult. 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.879 I mean, he never really found it properly. I guess 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.000 I'm thinking board he'd take your eyes off it. No, 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.200 not if it hit you in the face mask, your 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.679 eyes are right there. I guess it just got up 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.320 on him faster than he expected because you couldn't find it. Yeah, 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.040 it just didn't concentrate as well. As they normally would, 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.160
