I can only imagine the happy sounds coming out of the Bengals locker room from the likes of Burfict, Pac Man, Dre and others after our Defense spared us from an embarrassing loss to the Colts.
Old Frank Gore registered 16 carries for 82 yards and now Young Leonard Fournette coming off a Bye week is in line to give hand gestures to our Defenders to come and tackle him. I will be surprised if Leonard isn't punishing us for well over 100 yards next week.
Add to that the Jags defense giving up the fewest points & passing yards allowed and leading the NFL with 33 sacks. Six more sacks than any other team.
Defensive tackles Malik Jackson & Marcell Dareus plus Defensive Ends Calais Campbell and Dante Fowler Jr going up against our Bengals Offensive line. Our only hope here being the week O-line Coach Paul Alexander has to prepare for the Jags. He is famous for a Line formation after all.
Likely get some Blitzes from the likes of Myles Jack or Barry Church or Jalen Ramsey.
Talk about a Deck Stacked against the Bengals.
Any slight hopes for Wildcard aspirations hinge on winning potential tiebreaker games and this Jags game may fit that bill.
The happy sounds that came from the Bengals locker room after sneaking past the Colts may be short lived.
This could be a Fournette drubbing followed by a Jags defense drubbing repeated on possession after possession all game long.
If the Bengals can somehow pass this Test and stagger out of Jacksonville with a Win, then I will be impressed. They will have at least earned the right to be mentioned as a Wildcard Contender. Would still have a Ton to prove to get there but would have beaten both of the current Wildcard holders in the Bills & Jags.
10% chance they pull this off against the Jags. IMO
If they do, they will have Butted Heads with some Bad dudes and Won.
If not, they will come back crushed mentally & Bruised to the Bone physically.
