Kidding! Since Burrow came along the tilts between the two have carried quite a bit of weight. Some observations and then an intro-

-Are the Texans the weakest team headed into the playoffs? I think Tampa’s offense can beat anyone if Baker is cooking. (get it?) Though Houston is 5-1 in their last six, four of those wins were against the Pats, Jags, Colts and Bears. And they were all one score games. Also, they are 9-7 and have a -7 point differential.

-One bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush Leagues? The Titans are starting Will Levis but also sprinkling in a helping of Mason Rudolph as well. This might be related-who knows but with a loss they have a shot at the #1 pick.

-Poor Saquon is following the company line but he’s only 103 yards away from the record. He could get that before the end of the third quarter and then get his rest.

To The Game!

Bengals/Steelers:

-Ahh, a game whereby no one is resting their starters!

-What sort of person in their right mind is not cheering for Cincy tonight? (yinzers triggered)

-The Bengals defensive coordinator is Lou Anarumo. He makes 1.5 million a year. Most of it feels stolen this year.

-If Burrow throws for 359 yards he’ll reach 5,000 for the year.

-Seven of Cincy’s eight losses have come by one score.

-Lost in the RB Resurgence: To Najee it’s just a rumor-he’s free as a bird because his fifth-year option was tossed to the four winds.

-Yes, Tomlin kept his above .500 streak alive but he also has something else that’s above that number. In his 18 seasons he’s had more double-digit win seasons than single digit wins. With respect to that he’s 11-7.

Do your best.
