It's sweet seeing us have Burrow, a winning record, the playoffs locked up, and a Monday night prime time game.

So is the ticket thread permanently closed or does anyone have a ticket they're selling for tonight's game?

[Bengalholic]

When scoring 20 or more points, the Bengals are 11-1 and the Bills are 12-1.

Both teams are 5-3 in games when allowing 20 or more points.

Each team is also 5-1 in games where they've scored and allowed 20 or more points in the same game.

Mahomes on tonight's game:

“It’s going to keep me up past my bedtime. I try not to be too invested in it. It’s going to be a great football game with two great teams. And teams that you’re probably going to see in the playoffs, probably both or one or the other.

“You just try to just watch as a fan like I always do. I mean it’s great quarterbacks, great defenses, great players and as a fan of the game I like watching great football teams go up against each other.”

Man, I was pumped to click on this thread, but then I saw the announcers (groan). Also, what the hell is Paycor? Ah, whatever, still excited. Good luck Bengals fans.

Paycor is a payroll / human resources management company. 

I'm not a biggest fan of the name, or most stadium names these days...but whatever gets Burrow paid works for me.

Weather is kind of iffy as the game goes on at this point. The safe bet is we are good thru 3 quarters and then a front might move in with lightning possibilities.

Bengals really needed Hubbard to contain Allen.
