Listen Later

On today's show, we look at the weekend that was, with the Cincinnati Bengals riding their 34-23 comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a one-game lead in the AFC North. First, we discuss the impressive road comeback by the Bengals, who found themselves buried 17-0 late in the first half against Tom Brady, only to rally for 34 unanswered points. Then, we look at a defense that's being carried by its depth at the moment, with unsung heroes like Josh Tupou and Tre Flowers making some of the biggest plays of the day, plus an impressive rookie debut for Dax Hill. Plus, we dive into what's making Germaine Pratt an All-Pro candidate, as the linebacker continues to thrive as the schedule gets tighter. We also dive into another clunky day for the offense, as the running game stalled drastically and Joe Burrow continues to struggle with tipped ball interceptions.
