I'll have to rewatch it. I was wondering who made the initial play on that one.

Imagine not just enjoying being in the AFC championship game for the first time since 1988.

I think Big Shel' was in on blowing that one up.

Terrible? Not even remotely close. He won every single one on one matchup, picked up every stunt and played decently in the run game. He shut Landry down completely and handled everyone else that played on that side. 

He had one false start and there was the miscommunication on the free rusher (sack). Beyond that, the Titans overloaded the right side one time and had a free rusher (pressure) while Prince blocked the guy in front of him. 

He graded 81.6 in passpro and deserved every single point of it. The highest graded passpro on the line and 11pts higher than the 2nd guy. 

If you think Prince played terrible, then you haven't watched him on every play from last night or you're basing it solely on the one mixup with Adeniji. Either way, you are as far away from right as you can be.

the tackle on that play was by Logan Wilson and Markus Bailey after being chased a bit by Sam Hubbard.  Shelvin was in the defensive crowd around the tackle

Shelvin was in great position and would have had the initial hit if Logan didn't penetrate super quickly.

Gotta love Tyler Shelvin crushing blocks to set up the 4th-and-1 run stuff of Derrick Henry.

I would love to see him get more touches on run plays. I think he’s an absolute gem. Think he would get more yardage than mixon.

Yeah, I just found it ^. I was a bit too harsh on him earlier. I just saw 0 tackles, and didn’t remember this one. Big boy made a nice play.

When I read a new thread I always wonder what angle he is going to come with to disagree and sometimes I think there is nothing he can do with this one. And then he always manages it. This one is great, criticising people
For their on his guess of what people’s opinion might have been on a play that never happened.

I love watching him get touches as a back. Call me crazy but I think he could rush for 100 yards if he got touches all game long.

This is a moot point as we could've gone for 2 on our TD and gotten it, making it a tie game anyways.

Thanks for posting that. This team is tough nobody can argue that. A couple of big time stops when they really needed them.

Glad everyone else is giving him his props; he absolutely did not,, "blow anything up," but he did shed a block and plugged the hole, which allowed Hubbard and Bailey to get Henry for the stop.

[HarleyDog]

When Flowers caused that damn fair catch penalty. I was double pissed. But, man did he make up for it.

How many times we have asked for the Bengals to go for it one 4th and 1 vs kicking a fg? Basically the same thing except the risk is a lot more on getting 0 pts vs already have 6. I'm not sure if ZT doesn't do the same thing. 

When you have a good run game you expect to be able to get 1 yard.
