Gotta recognize that there weren't a lot of highlights...but the D held up...for the most part...and even though Tee and Boyd left early, we pulled it off. But IF they are still out next week...will we prevail against the Bucs?
Thoughts...?

Yep. TB is still having trouble putting up points. This was a tougher game than next week will be.

Today snuffed out any bit of light and any chance for the Stains or the Stealers to sneak into the playoffs. So it's us and the Ravens.

Offense looked alright even after losing Tee and Boyd
Burrow is just on another level with QB IQ.

Offense stumbled early and late but overall did adjust to no Higgins and no Boyd and no Hurst. OL actually held up pretty well with the Stains cheating up to the line a lot since only Chase two worry about deep. Even with that they ran for 5.1 YPC and 136 yards while throttling Chubb on defense.

Tee, Boyd and Hurst all MIA..

Ugly wins in a five game win streak are a good thing. Fle flicker was a helluva call.

I’m very happy with an ugly win vs a team we usually get crushed by. 9 wins on the year and in great shape with a nice streak going. Winnable games coming up too these next two weeks.

Yes,. one awesome call and one laughably bad one (the Chase pass).

The Chase play was supposed to be a reverse. Zac said there were problems mechanically from the start. Bluntly said "it didn't work"
Winning makes believers of us all

Zac just said it was a reverse all the way, which explains why no one ran a route. It was just a joke by Chase, I guess…

We gonna have to take the deep threat moniker off of Jamarr because he’s deadly ANYWHERE. He’s not just a streak guy
Dude runs every route. He really should be getting more love for best WR in the game

Good win. The refs made the game a lot harder to watch, but it was good to finally beat Turd. We kicked them out of the wildcard hunt and assured ourselves a winning season at the least. I cant overlook the Bucs, but we should beat them.

He had three defenders in front of him, he knew he wasn't going anywhere, so why not throw it if there was someone open. Unfortunately, there wasn't

I don't know how much longer my heart can handle the Myles Garrett vs Jonah Williams matchup.

I think when the Browns blew up the play, Chase quick-wittedly decided to throw an incompletion so as not to lose yardage and then very smartly realized the offensive linemen were downfield and would be a penalty. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

And even a glancing look at the standings shows the truth of this. Had the Stealers been even minimally competent today we would have gotten into a much better place - now if the Rats beat the Stains next week we lose all the AFCN tiebreakers.
