Zac has mentioned in pressers throughout the year how the team has players that have been in the big games before. He accounts for college ball when making this claim and points out how guys like Burrow, Tee, and Chase played in the college championship. Carman also has college national championship game experience. Maybe he's well-equipped for the big moment to play in the KC stadium.
I think in the trenches, the big moments don't really have as much play. I feel like the bright lights of primetime/playoff games has less of an effect on dudes tryin' to block some of these game wrecking freak shows on some of these d-lines out here. The skill positions especially qbs and receivers I think are the most likely to be effected by a big stage.
I guess running backs too, but something tells me just trying to not murdered by NFL defenders without the protection afforded receivers in the act of making a catch is so intense that once they receive a hand off they are quite un-distracted on account of basic survival instincts.
Ofc, kickers are the most likely to get the yips in a big moment, but it looks like we gotta guy who's on some Adam Vinateri shyt. Which is nice.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
