NFL: OCT 31 Bengals at Jets

The Cincinnati Bengals’ hype train was full-steam after their big win over the Baltimore Ravens, but it has come off the rails after a disappointing lose to the New York Jets.

In the aftermath of this loss, I talk about what went wrong and what it means for the rest of the season.

The underdog mindset.
Poor tackling.
Talent stepping up.
Play-calling .
The one adjustment that needed to be made.
Who is the emotional leader?
Playing poorly and winning is not winning.
That horrible Mike Hilton penalty should not have mattered.
