20 points allowed
Lawrence three for only 90 yards in his first 23 attempts (3.91 avg)
Tackling was solid
Blitzes were very good including the Reid blitz that on the Watson pick play
He did this with 5 rookies playing a lot of snaps today. Just a remarkable performance from his defense [Reply]
They've been saving some of that back all year. You could feel it.
This win was not one guy or one play. It took 4 quarters of winning in all three phases. What a tremendous TEAM win and another classic in the Mahomes era.

You say this as if there's some magic switch to flip that we just forgot to switch.
Did you see receivers running free through the secondary? No.
Did you see a lack of pressure? No.
I'll tell you what I saw-
I saw doubled receivers all game long-even on their big plays, we had two guys on 'em, they just made the play. Well, Chase and Higgins are fucking awesome and Burrow has maybe the best ball placement I've ever seen, so what are you going to do?
There were a couple of missed coverages in the entire game. Other than that, the rookies played incredible. [Reply]

The tackling was also a lot better. Kept the yard down [Reply]
I'll never fucking doubt bulletin board material again.
It fucking mattered. I'm sure in the prep, in the effort to sack Burrow 3 times in two drives, Kelce obviously made it known after the game.
I'm sure they wanted it bad regardless of the stupid shit said last week, but I have no doubt now that it lit a fire. Hope the Bengals and mayor had a fun week playing with matches, ya jabronis. [Reply]

On each of the bengals big plays we had 1 sometimes 2 guys draped on their receivers. It was an absolutely magnificent performance from our DBs. [Reply]

I pray the Eagles are dumb enough to talk a bunch of shit the next two weeks [Reply]
I've been saying it all year, and a bunch of you JABRONIS have been giving me shit about it (thanks Kelce, I think I'll adopt that) but Spagnuolo has done an incredible job all season long playing half of his defense in rookies. All of those snaps early in the year, all of those rookie mistakes, all of that paid off last night.
I don't want to hear anymore bullshit about Spagnuolo. The man was a fucking magician this season, and the future is bright because of the groundwork they've laid on that side of the ball this season.
He played all of those rookies, and they took their lumps, and survived. We don't win last night without Jaylen Watson, Joshua Williams, Mcduffie, Karlaftis, and even Cook; who had a couple of penalties, but also that huge tip for the INT. [Reply]
