Ep. 0136 - Week 3 Recap

Bengals 34 - 17 FalconsAnother convincing win by the Bengals, this time in Madrid, Spain, against the Falcons. This game never felt close. The Bengals maintained a 14 point lead for most of the game and the Falcons didn't do themselves any favors with penalties and poor play. This win puts the Bengals at 6-2 and sets up a monster matchup Week 10 on Sunday Night against the Steelers for the lead in the AFC North .

Titans 36 - 43 BengalsA frustrating start again, this time to a down-trodden Titans team that should have been no problem for the Bengals to dispatch. However, this game was anything but a blowout. Both teams had opportunities to win multiple times. Eventually the Bengals prevailed and keep their Super Bowl dreams alive.

Bengals 35 - 13 RavensApparently the Ravens all decided to take horse tranquilizers at halftime and completely fell asleep in the 2nd Half, losing another 10+ point halftime lead. But who am I to complain about a Bengals win?Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, Mike Gesicki are unstoppable in the pass game. Dexter Lawrence and the Bengals D made some nice plays to confuse backup QB Tyler Huntley (who is definitely NOT Lamar Jackson).

Bengals 31 - 24 DolphinsJoe Burrow threw 4 TD passes to 4 different receivers and the Bengals managed to hold on for the win over a poor Miami Dolphins team. The difference in QB play was as large as you'll see in a game of 2 starters. But a win is a win. Bengals go to the bye week 3-2 and feeling on top of the world. Albeit, not yet top of the division. But the Ravens are up next...

Jaguars 22 - 17 BengalsIn a day that went from bad to worse... First Ja'Marr Chase went out on a dangerous facemask/concussion, then Tee Higgins hurt his groin late in the game, THEN the Bengals lost at home. This was not what we were looking for. Let's break down the game and then move on!

Bengals 27 - 30 SteelersThis game is the reason I don't gamble (or have any ads for gambling in the show). I would have bet on the Bengals to win this game 100%, and I was 100% wrong. Plus, Andrei Iosivas is on injured reserve due to thumb surgery. Let's discuss how we're feeling.

Bengals are 2-0 and lead the AFC North! What?! Am I really watching the Bengals Defense shut a team down? This season is looking very promising.

Bengals 33 - 27 Buccaneers. Bengals new-look defense forces 4 turnovers, including a scoop-and-score to carry the team to victory. Mike Gesicki was open all day for Joe Burrow passes. A quiet afternoon for Ja'Marr Chase, but a win is a win.

Week 1 is finally here! Let's get ready to watch a new season of Bengals football, starting with a home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's at 1:00 PM?! Someone wake up Ja'Marr!
