Joe Burrow and the new Bengals were able to hand Tom Brady his first loss when leading by 17 points. AlbertBreer on how the Bungles are dead and gone
over the past couple of years—the old Bengals are dead and gone. And gone with them is any sort of sky-is-falling, other-shoe-is-dropping mentality.And we have a fresh stat to illustrate what’s going on in Cincinnati. Heading into Sunday’s Buccaneers home game against the Bengals, Tom Brady was 89–0 when holding a 17-point lead. One more time: He wasBrady was 89-0 when leading by 17 points. He's now 89-1 after the Bengals scored 34 consecutive points after they trailed 17-0.
“The first drive, we don’t even have a third down and go right down the field and we get another tip-ball turnover, which sucks,” Callahan says. “We took a sack on one and got into long-yardage situations on the second drive. And then after that, we just had a third-and-4 and a third-and-5 that were manageable third downs that we didn’t convert on.
So that’s six consecutive wins for the Bengals, and ahead is a realistic shot at the No. 1 seed in the AFC. If Cincinnati can run the table, it’ll finish, at worst, tied with Buffalo at 13–4 and with the tiebreaker . And if the Chiefs stub their toe one of the last three weeks, then there’d be a three-way tie, with the Bengals holding wins over both teams.
“So that was kind of where it started, and our guys believe in it. The point is that we’re the defending AFC champs until we’re not. I think our guys appreciated that confidence, and I think that’s how they truly feel. We’re as good as anybody in football right now.”Goff and Wright celebrate after Wright's 51-yard touchdown catch put the Lions in the lead for good late in the fourth quarter.It was September or October, and no one really knew what to make of the Lions yet.
“I feel like we really just took the identity of Dan,” he says. “We emphasize having grit as a team and an organization so much, and really just took the identity of that and just taking it one game at a time. We knew we were close and it was frustrating to say,after six losses.
