Hubbard is the MVP of the Bengals this postseason.

Huh?  I thought it had to be somebody on the offense since everybody keeps pushing the narrative that it’s these offensive minded head coaches leading these shootout victories. I’m seeing the better defenses winning these last few weeks.

Disappointing cincy. Gotta get points off turnovers not punts

That guy is electric.  KC knows how to draft speed. 

 

That is why Colts fans were so excited about hiring Ballard. He was part of the Chiefs team that assembled a lot of talent on offense and defense.

I see what you mean. Had Hubbard not scored against the Ravens… 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This game isn’t that exciting. Both these offenses look terrible.

There have been multiple times this year that the offense has gone completely cold right when they are needed… 

 

This is giving me Halloween night against the Browns flashbacks. Might not be the Bengals night unfortunately… too bad because the AFC will be taking it to Cincy every game next season.

I’ve been team Ballard but he’s come up short when it’s come to drafting electric players (outside of Taylor & Hines).  Campbell was often injured. But the guys we did have were never used properly.  For example , we’d end up running  jet sweeps with Pittman or our tight ends instead of Campbell.

Momentum on Bengals side now

I stand happily corrected sir

[Chrisaaron1023]

That 4th down play.. my lord. In double coverage. Bengals won't die

[Happy2BeHere]

TD cincy!!

[RollerColt]

And here I go again. What the hell is going on out there?

[NFLfan]

Had the Bengals not gone for it on 4th and long, this game would not be tied. I think that is playing to win.

So obvious who Romo is rooting for.

It’s hard to claim one side for momentum actually. It’s totally a flip flop game!

That took stones. Then he threw it in double coverage. I thought it was going to be intercepted.

[Chrisaaron1023]

I can't even call what the Bengals got as a turnover lol mahomes seriously slipped it and let to that

He never roots for any of my teams lol

Chase & Higgins are both ridiculous.  2 amazing catches.  I’m starting to think Burrow is the luckiest QB in recent college to pro transition history.  Guy went from Chase & Jefferson to Chase & Higgins.

2nd best ACL tear in NFL history following Adrian Peterson’s. Lol. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

It doesn't matter what happens to burrow. Dude got sacked 3 consecutive times and is still standing there.. he is not a man.. he is a machine

I am laughing at someone on twitter said we should get Higgins. They seem to forget Pittman made the exact same catch on the exact same play against SF. He just hasn’t had stability at QB/

We’ll have our Chase in next years draft :-)

Word was we wanted Higgins but Cincy took him with the 1st pick of the 2nd round. So we took Pittman instead. I agree about the QB play but I think Higgins is more fluid. Pittman definitely more physical.

We might have him in pierce.  But we will see about  Marv junior.

I don't think our WRs are bad. Actually I think they are dynamic. Good TEs. It's the QB really.. well and the Oline needs to get their head outta you know where

Tbf the throw to Pittman was under thrown. Don’t know if that made his catch harder or easier though.

Hey I won’t complain if we somehow end up with Harrison Jr, Pittman Jr and Pierce all on the field at the same time. That would be fire!

[Happy2BeHere]

Way to go cincy!

Start the play clock!
