Yeah, that’s what I mean. Nobody with Joe Burrow on their team needs to worry about stats like that.

Playoffs are clinched. It was already essentially a lock, but let’s officially put that “10% of 0-2 teams make the playoffs” crap to sleep. Most 0-2 teams don’t have Joe Burrow.

TJ’s granny leads a valiant drive into the red zone but turns it over on downs. Playoff clinch looking good.

Wilson benched for TJ’s granny, who immediately completes a ball to CJ Uzomah.

At this point, I think Zach Wilson is entering Ryan Leaf/Akili Smith/Jamarcus Russell territory.

Zach Wilson is one of the worst first round QBs I’ve ever seen.

Bengals at Patriots produced an all-timer in 1993. 2-11 Patriots 7 - 2 Bengals 1-12 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199312120nwe.htm

The Bengals clinch tonight if the Jaguars win. It doesn't mean much, since just about every model has the Bengals as shoe-ins at this point even if they lose out. But it'll be nice to have some kind of symbolic rooting interest. Duuuuval or whatever

Non-zero chance, even if low, that Lamar doesn’t take another Ravens snap.

The Pro Bowl remains junk. For a long while the only reason to care was that Pro Bowls often impacted Hall of Fame chances (and hurt greats like Ken Riley). I think that’s changing though, as pretty much everyone has come to understand that the whole thing is worthless. So whatever. If I had to name some snubs though: Reader, Higgins, Pratt, Cappa, and Hubbard

I would toss Carman for a 7th round pick tomorrow if I could (I can't).

1 seed. Full throttle. Anyone that can go will go. I suspect the coaches will be less conservative than they often have been about this kind of thing. Even the 2 seed provides a huge edge (most likely hosting the Bills or Chiefs in the divisional round instead of traveling to them). Gotta keep winning.

Apparently Hurst was limited at practice, which means he was at practice. Another promising and mildly surprising development.

Trey's going clubbing

I love the distribution of Burrow's 36 TDs so far this season: 8 - Chase 6 - Higgins 5 - Boyd 5 - Burrow (rushing) 4 - Perine 2 - Hurst 2 - Mixon 2 - Irwin 1 - Evans 1 - Wilcox 9 different players with at least one TD reception. Let's see if we can get Taylor, Morgan, Asiasi, or T. Williams in on the party.

I confess that I was convinced the Pratt pick hit the ground and gave it no shot until I saw the replay. I couldn't believe that thing was a catch. Pratt could sneak into All-Pro consideration if whoever votes for that shit is paying attention.

I would wear the hell out of that Burrow flower suit.

The 1 seed is still in play. They’ll continue to go full-throttle. The AFC North is small time.

15 more tackles for Logan Wilson

Lou’s halftime adjustments resume is unbelievable.

Who dey chants on the road are *chef’s kiss*

Second time this year Joe has drawn someone offsides on 4th down

Devouring the clock. Beautiful.

Blowing timeouts is my biggest pet peeve

Damn, amazing punt by them too
