I guess if there was a week to play horribly for Cincinnati it was this one. If they play like that next week when Baltimore plays all their starters then the Bengals will lose.

No concern, they play to the level of competition and I don't think they played horribly, they well enough to win. Most importantly they got the 'W', making it 8 consecutive wins (best in the NFL) I think Zac will have everybody kicking it up a notch or two, for the rematch.

Good question....... Baltimore @ Cincinnati Sunday, January 15th. Gametime is 8:15 PMPlaying an opponent back to back is more common than one would think. The Bills & the Patriots did it last year.

Alex Cappa done for the playoffs. That sucks. Huge part of the team and had a great season. I guess the off-season will once again be addressing the offensive line.

It's bad news to lose the starting right Guard, but the good news is, he injured his left ankle and not a season ending knee injury. This means, the Bengals will be playing with the right side of the OL being backups, with the season ending knee injury to R/T La’el Collins, two weeks ago. Hopefully, they can get past this game and get Cappa back for the round two game.

I taught you better than that

The appearance of Lamar Jackson Sunday seems increasingly unlikely and Tyler Huntley has been absent from practices as well.
Tee Higgins is dealing with a type of hip pointer injury. Will play, but in pain.

Will play, but in pain. So it’s either Huntley or Brown again. Also I see where Harbaugh said his team played a clean game last week like they always do. Can’t wait till Sunday.

A game filled with late hits and cheap shots. It was obvious what they were trying to achieve. The N.Y. Jets played equally dirty, earlier in the year. What's more amazing, the game officials looking the other way.

It may not have been pretty but it’s never easy this time of year and playing a team 3 times in a season is rough. Wilson knocking that ball out of Huntleys hands and into the hands of Hubbard who then returned it 98 yards for a TD is what won that game. The defensive line made several plays tonight that helped also. Baltimore IMO will be the toughest defense they will see in the playoffs.

The Bengals lost another OL starter. They have lost three starters in the last month, RT, RG and now the LT. Offensively, they went very conservative 2nd half, with a lot of running plays. Great to see former Buckeyes lighting it up in this game....Joe Burrow, Sam Hubbard and J.K. Dobbins all made highlight films.

I just seen Williams has a dislocated kneecap which more then likely has ended his season. I hope this off-season then can finally put together a solid group on the line. Williams just hasn’t worked out since they drafted him and now Collins is a huge liability who’s not getting any younger

The team has declared Williams and Cappa are on a week to week status. Williams dislocated his kneecap very early in the season and recovered and returned to the lineup. Cappa has a sprained ankle and depends on his rate of healing. If they can get by Buffalo, things look a bit more promising. As far as the draft is concerned, you can never have enough depth at this key position. The OL played very well this year and had the most continuous snaps as a unit, than any other OL in the NFL, this year.

I've been hearing rumblings that Micah Hyde could make his return this week, or subsequent games, if they advance. As you know, Damar Hamlin came off the bench to replace Micah, when he sustained his neck injury. No doubt, Buffalo took a hit in the secondary and a starting CB may be out this week, after taking a shot last week.

Both Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jamison Crowder and all-pro safety Micah Hyde have been taken off IR and are practicing with the team. There is a high likelihood one or both will get the start vs. the Bengals.

Really rooting for either team but going to be tough for Cincy to win with 3 OL out. T9o bad these two teams aren't meeting in the AFC Championship.

WHO DEY. This team just goes out and plays no matter who the opponent is. Everyone plays their role and someone makes a play when they need one. This has been a hell of a run and it’s only the beginning.

A dominating performance, beginning to end. A makeshift OL, minus both Offensive tackles and a guard, does the improbable and dominates the Buffalo defensive front, while only allowing one sack all night. 30 1st downs to 18, need not say more.

Cam Taylor Britt keeps getting better with each game. Stepped up big time today. He sure doesn’t look like a rookie anymore.

It is now recognized, the Bengals have an offense that puts fear in the opposition. Not the end of the story, their defense is pretty damn good and up to the task, no matter who the team might be on the other side of the ball. This the definition of a complete football team.

Despite his spirited resolve to be ready to go vs. the Bengals, I don't expect Patrick Mahomes to be a factor in this game. High ankle sprains take a long time to heal and can linger on for a significant amount of time. It's his right ankle, he throws right handed, consequently, that is his plant foot on his throws. The ankle will effect his scrambling abilities and it will also affect his throws, especially the medium to long distance range. I fully expect Chad Henne will get the bulk of the snaps.

Watching the replay of that I’m surprised his ankle didn’t snap and break. Was an ugly and awkward fall while someone is tackling you.

It was hard to watch, amazing he was able to hobble on it.
A dominant performance by the Bengals, on the Bills home turf. Jackson Carman showed why he was a 1st rounder. He got a couple pancakes and dominated his man on the D-line. The coaches finally got him back to his natural position, where he excelled at Clemson. This decimated OL, played their ***** off, allowing only one sack and only one holding call.
The offense came out smokin and had completions to 8 different recivers in the 1st quarter alone.
Time to make Mahomes and Kansas 0-4 vs. the Bengals.
