a few things to second guess for the Bengals

- use of challenges
- they ran a shovel pass on 3rd down to preserve the FG but could've called a play like that the first time when Dalton got sacked
- after Dalton scrambled for the first down with a minute left, they should've ran some draw plays, if you break one good but you're thinking halftime at that point...the interception was just a great play but questionable whether you even drop back to pass there

Should have eaten the five yards there rather than use a time-out so early! After the penalty they won't make it anyway.

I was just referring to the announcers, acting like it's a foregone conclusion

half the team is injured, they've been sluggish on the road all year against average to below average teams

I know. Just find it funny.


Anyway, Andre gets a key catch, but still bobbles it. Like I said, very rusty lol. Maybe that catch is all he needed.

In the first half, Yates threw one long that hung up and the defender was in good position.

During the second challenge the one guy made me turn the channel. "Might be an interception"....he caught the ball while on his butt....caught it clean for 1/2 second and then kept control without any bobble while simultaneous for a solid 1 1/2 seconds.

IMO 2 of the worst challenges I've ever seen.

Bengals still are OK....but they gotta score on this next possession and create a turnover at some point.

Crocker not getting that interception was the game. Houston has all the momentum and a 2 td lead. Gotta get a touchdown here or its over.

I don't see a comeback

they'll have to hold off Houston's pressure too much

they'll make some completions but sooner or later they'll get Dalton or force a turnover
