Tied at the half. A Houston win here would be absolutely delicious. I desire it fully, truly, and sexually.

They're hanging in there, but they really should have the lead. Flag city.

Go Texans. Go Lions. Go Bills. Rare for me to have such clear rooting interests in three divisional games without the Bengals. I don't give a crap who wins the 49ers/Packers game.

A fake slide is already illegal. If Allen did that, it should have been flagged. Edit - nevermind. It was implemented in college after Pickett did it, but not the NFL. I certainly agree it should be illegal.

It will be interesting to see how the division behaves when both the Ravens and Bengals are able to finish a season near full strength.

GTFO Pittsburgh

GTFO Cleveland

Not much defense either way so far.

- The closest I get to a second-favorite team: Detroit Lions - Sure, that'll work: Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles - Meh, whatever: San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers - F*** you, eat shit Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens

I’m not actually certain what Brian Callahan does, so okay.

CTB and Battle ought to be the young players that set the tone in the defensive backfield. We can only hope Dax Hill finds his way, because it was a bit rough for him. The jury is still out on Turner, who started great and finished poorly. Rookie stuff.

Yoshi again. 30-0

Throw of the year there, Browning to Irwin

I am now invested in completing this cheap shutout.

Nice Yoshi

I’m good with a Mixon TD parade against the Browns even in a pointless game.

Bengals are murdering the browns backup defensive line

Mixon is now alone in second for career rushing TDs by a Bengal.

I'm fine with a win and might even prefer it. 0-6 in the division is not a good thing to carry into an offseason.

I think the biggest problem going into next season is clear: 0-5 against the AFC North 3-8 over the last two seasons That cannot continue.

4 in 5

Good battle. On to 2024.

Worst sequence of pass protection I have ever seen.

KC adjusted on D, and Browning hasn’t been able to answer. It’s a backup QB vs. a top defense.

I’m optimistic that a year of development for Dax and Battle will help.
