Taysom Hill Is The New Tebow, Steelers Fan Crushing A Bud Light & Jim Nantz Narrates Guy's Drive At Pebble

Guess that will be the last time this year I'll be watching my Bengals play


I was there at Paul Brown Stadium with my father on January 8, 2006 for Steelers-Bengals when Kimo Von Oelhoffen came down on Carson Palmer's knee and ended the best chance Cincinnati had in nearly 20 years of playing in a Super Bowl. It was a team that many expected to win at least one playoff game. We left that game to Steelers and Bengals fans fighting on the concourses, on the escalators and in the parking lot. I haven't been back to a Bengals home game since. My father and I made a bad decision a couple years ago and went to see the Bengals play Dallas at Jerry World, and the game was over like 10 minutes in. That's my relationship with this team.

Then Sunday comes along, and Joe Burrow's knee is popped like a chicken wing and his season is over. Who knows what this will mean for the rest of his career. What this means for Bengals fans is that you transition into rooting against the Steelers winning the Super Bowl. That's all you can hope for at this point. Anyone but Pittsburgh and Cleveland. I called my father Sunday after the Burrow injury, and he was busy down in SW Florida helping my uncle put his boat in. They had spent the morning golfing and enjoying 85 and sunny. Dad wasn't the least bit surprised Burrow's knee was taken out. It's par for the course.

• Now to the rest of the NFL...Taysom Hill did his job manning the boat against the inferior Atlanta Falcons. Drew Brees could come back in Week 14, but the real target is Week 15 against the Chiefs. Until then, Hill will get three teams under .500 (Broncos, Falcons and Eagles). Remember, one team per conference will get a bye in the playoffs.

• What has happened to the Baltimore Ravens? They've lost two in a row, fell to third place in the AFC North and have to get up for a critical road game against the Steelers Thanksgiving night. It's not must-win territory because the rest of their schedule has four easy wins, but the problem for Lamar and the Ravens is that it's a log jam in the AFC. The Ravens are on the outside looking in right now.

• Remember when I said the Eagles just needed to win two in a row and they'd pretty much lock up the NFC East? Yeah, well now the Eagles have lost two straight, couldn't be a bigger mess, and are hanging on to the division via the bye against the Bengals. Dallas has the easiest schedule of the bunch with the Ravens as the only remaining team over .500. Imagine Andy Dalton, and his remaining lack of taste due to COVID, making the playoffs and getting a win, something he never did in Cincinnati. That would be poetic.

• Rams-Bucs is your Monday night game. Thank god it's not the Bears or Cowboys in primetime.
