The 7 sacks is a little deceptive. Burrow was holding the ball waiting for stuff to open up on 4 of 'em. So 3 sacks on the OL 4 on coverage and Burrow trying to make a big play.

Hats off to Payton for calling two TOs in OT when all he needed was a tie.

The team KC are going to be thinking the most about next week, is KC. Playoff matchups are a little less important than having your guys available to play in them. 

I guess only counterpoint I can make is whether it makes a lot of sense to be going into a playoff game with your starters having not played in 3 weeks, but ultimately they'll be protecting guys from injury.

After one game I said "how come every single NFL game I see something I've never seen before". How likely is it?

I still can’t believe I hey didn’t give safety help


Were they doubling Chase?

Idk why

Tee was the one killing you

When the season began, I said the Bengals would go 9-8 at best, but 10 wins would be needed to make the playoffs.

People probably had heart attacks.

how does that post game handshake go?
"Good game. Hope you lose next week against KC"

You gotta keep Tee

Losing him is gonna do to the offense what losing Reader and Bates did to the defense

We have to see this

When I see a York field goal attempt I get the sensation of absolute dread at the bottom of a ski ramp!

I would agree to this, Burrow was holding the ball long. He also won the game for us basically. We have no kicking game, zero. Maybe thats' why Zac is going for it on 4th downs!

Burrow's 17-game pace during this historic 8-game streak:
- 506 completions (NFL record: 490)
- 5,627 pass yards (NFL record: 5,477)
- 57 pass TD (NFL record: 55)

But those stats are probably mainly from 16 game seasons right? And probably Brady...lol. Either way he is very close to best stats ever.

So when you choose a FG kicker who was cut by da browns or the best QB/player in the league, do not choose the former. Now I am agreeing with Zac's lack of kicking FGs and wouldn't have needed OT maybe lol

That was a gimme FG, you can’t miss that

Thankful for a great win. I still HATE this team. My heart

You have not seen cut Browns FG kicker before, I mean the 35 yarder or whatever is pretty much gimme for a pro, we don't have pros right now.

4th and 1 with seconds left in th game, and you give up a TD, from24 yards out, really. Can his defense be any worse?

This will look great on Hard Knocks.

And another 25/1 on the ground. Against a pretty good defense.

And having Nix in a situation for third down where it should have been easy pass and catch or run and drop to keep the clock running. Maybe he did and Nix thought it was a sure thing, but that was huge. If not for our mistakes, he wouldn't be in that position anyway, so suck it Payton!
