He hasn't even been able to reach 6 YPA in those 4 games. 

He’s won 2 in a row and 3 of the last 4. Wins is all that matters.

That results gives us a chance vs. the Chargers correct?  Not sure I like that honestly.

Against 2 bad teams and a Titans team that gave them, what, 4 turnovers? They just barely got by the same team that the Bengals boat raced out of the stadium.

Any playoff team is going to be good. Except the Steelers. No reason to fret about who they play because the more you win, the better the teams get. 

27-10 Miami. Looks like NE is done for the night.

We play the Bills if the lose and the Patriots win.
We play the Raiders if they win and the Patriots lose.
Any other scenario, we’ll play the Patriots.

I am in the minority but I'm hoping for the patriots. Our biggest weakness is a defense that can get to the QB without blitzing and Oakland has a scary pass rush with Crosby and Ngakoue.

I know Bill feasts on young QBs but that's because young QBs can often be fooled by fake blitzes and unusual formations. Burrow isn't that easily fooled so the game against the Pats will be closer to a Mac vs Joe game and, in that case, I take Joe 10 times out of 10.

Won't know who the Bengals play for sure until the games are over.

Oakland has a good pass rush but their run defense ain’t scary, and neither is that secondary

Looks like Buffalo may hang on anyways... so it's either the Pats or LV (if they win)

Patriots trying to pull it off in the final two minutes...

Yea but even still, I just think a defense that doesn't have to blitz to pressure Burrow is the most dangerous defense regardless of their other factors like run D and secondary.

1st down Fins. Wrap it up with a bow.

The Pats are about to lose, so if the Raiders win tonight, we’ll play them next week. If the Chargers win tonight, we play the Patriots next week.

Also, getting ahead of myself a bit, but if all the home teams win next week, then the 2nd week matchup would be @ Tennessee.

Home vs. Pats or Raiders then away vs. Titans is pretty close to the best scenario that the Bengals could have come up with.

Patriots looking like a lose and Christian Barmore going down inside 2 minutes make it worse.

Barmore vs Carman would have been a matchup to mention because that was the trade.

LOL, great ending, Pats.

Awesome out comes. Pats or Raiders. Love the options.

I agree. We need to root hard for the Bills vs the Pats/Chargers to keep us out of KC in round 2 (assuming we win in the wild card round obviously)

Pats best DL Christian Barmore just got carted off the field. Huge loss for them going into the playoffs.
