It is great to see the team show they can win games with Joe Burrow out. Browning has been amazing and the OL seems to be starting to gel after 13 games through 13 games. The problem making it into the playoffs is we have a bad AFC conference record. It is the reason we are 10th right now even tied with a bunch of other teams with 7-6 record.
Of the 7-6 teams, Denver has best shot at winning out to go 11-6. Browns need 3 of 4 to go 11-6. That leaves one spot among:
1. Steelers - we play them and need a win
2. Colts
3. Texans
4. Bills
The good news is we have proven we can beat the best teams so we have a shot, but we need to go at least 3-1 and hope 2 teams and hope teams above go 2-2. There are other scenarios, but if we win out, we should make it.

The uncertainty in summer.
The stress of the first four games
Handily beat buff and SF, as part of a 4 game win streak.
The “lost” season at Baltimore.
The rejuvenation with Jake Browning, who had never attempted a pass before 2023.
I was wrong in wanting to lose out to set ourselves up for next year (while still wanting to see development from young guys). I just thought we wouldn’t be able to win without burrow.
This is fun, exciting, challenging our thinking on Zac as a playcaller.
Just keep having fun and playing well. See how far this can go!

With the Bengals on a roll the Vikings head in to PBS (I don't want to call it Paycor). It looks like the Bengals may or may not be facing the passtro(not) Dobbs for the second time this season as he got benched in the Vikings 3-0 blow out win over the Raiders.
Make your predictions.

| Is it the OLine or the RB’s |

I don’t think it’s “all” Chase or even a better Mixon lately …
I think the OLine is playing VERY well giving the RB’s the ability to find and hit holes.
Jake has been upright as well.
Not to take from Chase (who looks great); but even Barry Sanders can’t run through a brick wall.
Kudos to them for elevating their game and at the right time.
This is coming from someone who has been highly critical of them all year.

Great game. Lots of love to go around but one thing that can’t go unnoticed:
It was nice seeing our #3 - coming in COLD - throwing a nice dime to Tee that should’ve been 6!
There was no need for the mild push by Tee, as the ball was perfect.
It’s encouraging to see and now know we have more depth than we (at least “I”) thought @ QB.
We also haven’t missed CTB the last 2 games either. Another total shocker to me.

The Cincinnati defense only allowed seven points today. Pressure on Gardner Minshew was better but what impressed me was the run defense. Last week the Jaguars ran a lot of counter plays and the Bengals got burned on most of them. Today the linebackers did a fantastic job of recognizing misdirection and adjusted extremely well. This made the Colts one-dimensional on offense and Lou Anarumo had his safeties keep everything in front of them.
