Whereas this season and last season, we generally knock teams out of the park in the 3rd quarter. Coaching really uses the Half Time break better than anybody imo.
Definitely big to not get swept by the Steelers. Had hoped we'd do the sweeping, and while we should have done, they'll always play us hard. 6 picks by Burrow across the two games and we still put up 57 points on them across the two games.
In the past, some posters have said there is no such thing as a half-time adjustment. Then how would one explain the fact that the past two years this team is very much a second half team. It's not as if the Bengals wore down the opposing team in the first half due to a running game. The Bengals just do very well defensively and offensively in the second half of games.
