So when I was in youth football, I remember my dad coming home one day. He

helped coach our team, and he said, I saw a great quote from Vince Lombardi.

It's all about chasing perfection, but knowing you're never going to get there.

But even though you're not going to get there, what you are going to get is

excellence, and that you have to chase perfection in order to get excellence.

And little did I know how true that would be in kind of the way I'm wired.

You're never going to play perfect, but I hate you.

When I don't.

My definition of perfection.

Hey, perfect.

It's impossible.

What a throw from Jared Goff. Right at stride, too. Right at the bucket.

Yes!

It's something abstract that you strive for.

Look at the reactions from Joe Burrow after the miss to Chase. He's a

perfectionist, even in a game that's 38 -17.

I don't think that's really achievable.

Feeling like there's literally nothing that you would do differently if you

could go back.

There might be a better ball location that you could have had on one of those

catches. One of your guys makes a great play that wasn't a great throw.

You have to remind yourself that it's going to be an ugly win sometimes.

The other team is paid, too.

Oh, we had that one, Jimmy. We had a couple here that we've left on the

and it just drives me crazy.

You'll never really reach perfection.

Give me one more, Tim. I think chasing it is the part that is the fun part.

Fuck me. I want to put you right here. That was hot.

I'll hit you right in the chest.

And when you think that way, you are going to give everything you have to

constantly make what you're doing better and better and better.

Eye over letter.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Good ball.

And I think for me, that helps drive me daily.

Where you're just striving for this abstract perfection that's not

It's the rabbit you'll never catch, and it's fun to chase it, but you know

you'll never get it.

So practicing four.

Practice is perfect every time. Why don't we do it?

Okay, I really want to figure out the Bottega look for you.

Okay. Because I feel like that's one people will flip out for.

I like the jacket.

It's super cool. It's a classic Bottega.

So, you know, people will recognize this pattern and know. And if they don't

know what it is, it's still cool.

I know you hate the shoes. I'm not going to wear the shoes with it. I know

you're not.

Had to present.

You think the Bottega's too huge.

I don't think I would carry the bag that big. Can you hold this?

that you have your overnight clothes off the plane.

I'm not trying to push this on you.

It's a very chic fashion decision.

Okay. I would use it one time.

My mom was in fashion merchandising when I was little, so she's always played a

role in that, buying school clothes, and she would always get me colorful

shirts. that I would like to wear.

I mean, honestly, I feel like from the time he was kind of little, he was

a little bit particular about his clothes.

He liked what he liked, for sure.

I think it's exciting that he shows his personality in those ways.

I didn't really know what kind of clothes I liked yet, but I liked colors.

This is a Marnie scarf.

I don't think I'm a scarf guy.

And it helps when you're confident in your own skin.

I like the coat, and I would say it just evolved from there.

This is Elder Statesman. I like that sweater, yeah.

It's blue pants I do like.

You're on a big blue moment.

I know.

Maybe that's my new favorite color.

I got you this.

I like it, but I don't know about the fur coat.

No, I felt like you would love this one.

I wore a fur coat that my friend Micah made for the AFC Championship

game in 2021.

and cardio glasses was my favorite yeah i like that one my favorite was the

rick owens knit sweater you wore the olive one you know you wore that

no i didn't yeah interesting we'll go with this this was my kookiest look

this the these shoes would be kooky as hell i have to show you something i know

you're not gonna like my favorite part is he takes Wrist, but also says no a

lot. You like those Chrome Hearts belts?

No. Cowboy energy.

I don't like belt buckles.

What I do like about your outfits is that only you wear them.

When I went to Paris for Fashion Week, that was pretty fun.

Definitely different from the football world. I saw him at the Vogue Fashion

Show in Paris. This is a look for Southern Ohio.

A backless suit. Do you see that?

That was Vogue's.

decision, they brought out a bunch of pieces.

Not something I thought I would be doing growing up in Athens, Ohio. That wasn't

exactly on my radar, but it was a cool experience.

It's Heath Bengals. 180!

Last weekend, the Bengals hosted the Patriots. Joe Burrow said he didn't have

answer for the lack of offensive rhythm the Bengals had against the Patriots,

but it's on brand with how the Bengals have started in seasons past.

Ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly.

We were 1 -1 in 21.

In 22, we were 0 -2.

And then in 23, we were 0 -2.

You know, I haven't done training camp for a couple years. You know, I've had

lots of setbacks with injuries.

The first big one was my knee.

Biggest nightmare, an injury to rookie quarterback Joe Burrow.

I'd never been through something like that before, and so it was just like,

we're going to attack rehab, get better, and I'll be back next year.

All I know, two of the last four years, Joe Burrow has ended early with

injuries. I can't count on him. He might be injury prone.

I think it's fair.

I mean, really, my NFL career, I have been, unfortunately. I think I've played

through a lot, too.

But I realize it's just part of playing football, and you've got to treat it

like anything else and just keep logging along.

Terrible set.

And just as far as my play, I get better as the year goes. The more reps I

accumulate, the more times we run a...

specific play, the faster that I process and the faster that I can get it out.

Sometimes early in the year, I think I get a little too, like, don't turn the

ball over.

You know what I mean?

Like, usually I see it and I throw it. Like, sometimes I throw a pick.

But I think sometimes early in the season, I'm just like, don't turn it

We're going to win.

And it's not always the case.

Today, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs play their sixth game

in less than two years and nine months. The first five meetings were nail

biters. The Chiefs are the team to beat every year when you play great

quarterbacks and great offenses.

It doesn't necessarily change the plays that you're going to put in, but it

definitely changes your mindset.

He might be a little more aggressive on fourth down.

They've got fourth and goal.

They could take the lead with a field goal, but they're going to go for it

instead from three yards out.

Caught for the touchdown, and the Bengals with a gutsy call. Go for it on

and goal from the three.

Hey, great job.

You just felt him undercut you? Great job.

Here we go. 48 seconds to go. Cincinnati up by two points.

Fourth down and 16 for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Let's go, D. Let's go, D.

Let's go, D.

Let's go. Let's go.

Three rushing.

Here's Mahomes in trouble.

Now he's going laterally. He's going to throw it on the run. And it's broken up,

man. There's no flack. Oh, Glenn comes in late.

A flag comes in late.

Wow, he's going to call pass interference on that?

Just early contact, guys. Just playing through the back, early contact, and it

is a catchable ball.

189 -yard penalty.

That could be all the difference in the game. Burrow can't believe it. In these

games, you have calls that go against you. You have calls that go your way.

That's part of football.

And if it was me, I would have been upset if I didn't get that pass

call. With three seconds left, Kansas City will bring out Harrison Butker to

a 51 -yarder to win the game.

The right -footed kick by

Butker is good. Kansas City wins 26 -25.

And the Bengals are 0 -2 for the third consecutive year.

Hey, other than our guy, you're the best in the business. I'm not saying that.

I appreciate you. Good luck.

Talk about heartbreaking.

Man, oh, man, oh, man.

Your mindset after that game was what?

On to the next one.

Love you, bro.

Once you're in the season, you can't look at it as some broad, generic, we

to go, we got to win four games in a row, and now we're in a great spot.

Like, you can't look at it like that.

Cincinnati could make a case that they could be 2 -0.

They're not, and now they face a team in Washington that's in a rebuild mode.

But they've got the cornerstone piece. They believe at quarterback in Jason

Daniels. What did he?

What's up?

Burrow, play action, fake.

Five -step drop.

Deep ball for Chase.

Got it.

Touchdown.

Let's go.

You know, I felt like I played really well in that game.

Here's Burrow.

End zone shot.

It's caught for the touchdown.

Perfect throw from Joe Burrow. One of those days.

But, you know, that was kind of Jaden's coming out party.

They're down at seven.

This one is launched for McLaurin.

Touchdown!

This is the coming out party for Jaden Daniels.

There's always more that you can do, but when you play well like that and lose,

that's tough.

It's tough when you play damn near perfect and lose.

What age did I start playing?

Well, I dominated the recessed schoolyard first.

No, I started playing flag in fourth grade.

My kids are playing flag now.

And fourth grade was 10.

I was 10.

And then fifth grade, second year flag, and I played tackle for the first time

when I was 12.

Approaching 30 years.

I didn't think of it that way.

The Falcons this week. Yeah, they got a tough game this week. Yeah, Monday night

football.

I would say after losing to the Steelers and going on the road to play

Philadelphia in their home opener on Monday night, the tension, the sense of

urgency, it's pretty high.

They've been a playoff team now for several years, and you really don't want

start the season 0 -2.

We'll see if Kirk and the Falcons can rescue this game down six.

They are, they are.

We got to the two -minute, and I remember Tom Petty's Won't Back Down.

Timeless song, I just love it, always have.

Certainly, when you're on the road on Monday night...

Won't back down has certainly some elements to it, but even more so just on

whole football journey.

Have to get a touchdown. Got to go 70 yards, no timeouts.

A minute 42.

I believe.

To his right.

Shoots in the middle of the field. That's Pitt.

I knew the two -minute plays were going to be plays that I really owned. The

calls came in, and it was, okay, I've done this for years.

And I just knew right away where to put the football, how to get down the field.

Felt comfortable.

I'd be

lying to you if I didn't think that that song might help propel us to a win.

Takes his snap. Kurt looks. Sails it. Right there. Cut!

Touchdown Atlanta!

Yes. Yes. A seven -yard touchdown pass!

Holy smokes!

That was some kind of drive. Unbelievable.

Hell yeah!

Got to overcome it, baby. Got to overcome it. There we go, baby. And this

stunned crowd here in Philadelphia. It was a signature drive by Atlanta and

Cousins. That was such a good shake, Ralph.

He completely froze it. It's a tough cover.

Such a good route.

Unbelievable fucking route.

That was such a good route.

And in a remarkable comeback.

Great route. Great job. The Atlanta Falcons are going to leave Philadelphia

a one -point win. And what a job by Kirk Cousins. This was an important ball

game to keep from going to 0 -2.

That was so good.

That was pretty impressive.

I'm just getting started on Seattle here on our off day.

I usually start watching the team at home, get a little bit of a head start.

Seattle's had our number. They really had. They beat us three years in a row,

and time for us to stop the bleeding there and to find a way to beat them.

Got a new coach, came from Baltimore, and Coach McDonald had a lot of success

Baltimore doing the defense he was doing.

Ravens kicked our butt.

They sped them up today, Jared. It's filling the pressure.

They certainly have a style of defense that they want to play in Baltimore last

year, and I'd be very surprised if that style was not transferred over to the

Seattle team and he brought those same principles with him.

They're blitzing both linebackers and the nickel here with their spoon and

playing man coverage from top down.

And if we are able to identify this in the game, you can absolutely take

advantage of cover zero and some big plays can be had.

And hopefully we can come up with something during the week that can allow

do that.

They're 3 -0. We're 2 -1. We've got them at home on internet football.

It's going to be fun.

Lions and Seahawks getting ready to go Monday night.

Feel it, don't you? Oh, you do, man. This town has earned these primetime

Happy Monday night. Welcome.

Hey, how's it going? You get to take a little bag and you stuff it with

you like and then they'll ship it to your house. It's so fun. I get to become

friends with all the other girls in the team and we all love to get together. We

like to host different events.

Do you like scenes customized or like other things around too? They can do

Customize everything.

Jared Goff and the Lions getting set to go to defend their home turf.

Game day can be really stressful.

So it's nice to just be with each other because ultimately nobody gets it more

than the other girls on the team.

These are going to be my lucky game day pants. Seriously.

So cute.

This is so cute.

I love it.

That's just one pride on the bus. Yeah, that'd be cute.

Or just like lion's girls.

Lionesses.

So fun.

The number thing is so funny with the guys.

Is Ahmed always 14?

You know what?

He'll never admit this, but he asked me to count the amount of receivers before

him, and that was going to be his number, and I messed up. No. And it's

Brooklyn. And I told him it was 14, and so that's why he's 14.

Does he know you? Brooklyn.

This was early, like right after I got drafted. I was like, sure, let's do it.

And then I recounted. I was like, that's not the right number. It was actually

16 receivers.

Was it 13?

I should have chose 16 looking back on it, but I think Jared looks better in 16

than me.

Let's go now.

Let's go now. Bring it in, bring it in, bring it in. Hey, don't get any fucking

better than this now.

Monday Night Football in front of this fucking crowd. Have some fun tonight.

it all hang out.

One, two, three, one, two, three.

I always love playing on prime time. When it can be at home, in Detroit, in

black uniforms, there's a lot of energy in that building.

Hey,

it's

Monday night, so that usually means a little bit more. And because it's

that might mean a little bit more as well.

It was a close back -and -forth game and had to pull one of our tricks out of

our bag.

Gun stint right squeeze.

Alcatraz kill Lincoln M01.

Jared leans in. There's the snap. Jared on the end around.

Gives it to Amon Rock.

He's going to throw it to Jared.

It's at the 5 to the 8.

The play call is called Alcatraz, and we're looking for man coverage.

And when they play man coverage, the quarterback's usually not covered. So,

know, I tried to get real sneaky out the back there, and it came at a good

moment. St. Brown threw a good one and was able to finish it.

That week we felt good about in the red zone that we could get the right

defensive call, and it just came down to Jared making a play.

What I didn't know about him is he having those late hands so the defender

didn't find a way to bat that thing down.

As receivers, we're taught to have late hands because the DB likes to punch

through your hands if you put your hands out too early. So I could have put a

little more mustard on it. It was a little short, but Jerry had good late

and it all worked out.

Keep going.

Keep going. Put on the gas.

Put on the gas.

Sometimes I get nervous and I can't even, like, watch.

So I kind of, like, peek around my hands.

180 with it.

Off turn. Takes to Gibbs. They pick up the blitz off the rope.

Here is a completion to Jamison Williams.

He.

We made that look so easy.

That was crazy.

Seahawks defense is really having some issues tonight against this Detroit

offense.

Zero incompletion.

That's crazy.

I don't even want to say it out loud.

You know, you're never really trying to do that. Incompletions aren't the worst

thing in the world.

You know, batted balls happen, dropped balls happen. You throw the ball away.

happens all the time. So it's not like you're aiming for 100 % completion.

It feels good. You start to get in that rhythm and that flow state where you're

not thinking.

You're just reacting.

That's his best throw of the day. That was awfully good.

The throws are where you want them to be, and you visualized it.

The noise disappears.

Everything is falling right into place.

Touchdown! Detroit Lions.

Yeah! Let's go!

Oh my God!

Yes!

Let's go!

How about golf tonight?

18 out of 18.

292 yards.

Two touchdowns. And a receiving touchdown.

Tonight was about as perfect as you can get.

Perfect game somehow.

That's crazy.

18 for 18 for you.

How does that... Was I?

There you go. Yeah, it's good. When the ball doesn't hit the ground, it was a

good day.

It was a special night. It really was. To be at home on Monday Night Football

set an NFL record.

But that type of stat for 100 % completion, we've got to catch every

ball. I can't throw a ball away.

There's no batted balls. It's a very much team stat that happens. Yeah, I was

accurate. I was able to hit these guys in stride.

It really is a credit to all of our guys to have something like that happen.

Good win,

gentlemen. I got three game balls.

Ben Johnson, let's go, man.

A 70 -yard fucking touchdown right through the defense.

Jamo!

Yeah,

well, I just gave the game ball to somebody else, so I feel awful right

Yeah. No, I knew he played a heck of a game. I did not realize he was perfect.

did not know he was literally 18 for 18.

That one crept up on me post -game, yeah, and I felt a little bit like an

there. It didn't seem abnormal to me because I feel like he's been playing

way for a while.

That was fun, huh? So fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Babe, you caught a touchdown pass. How about that?

How was your event?

It was good. It was so fun.

Do you like my Abercrombie? Yes.

It was so fun.

Good. Let's go home. Let's go home.

Let's go home.

Let's go home.

Man, Joe Burrow had a great night last night. It was his sixth career game with

300 -plus passing yards. He had three touchdown passes. That's great, right?

Not really. Commander still beat the Bengals at home.

Burrow's got to be frustrated with this 0 -3 start for Cincinnati.

I would like to think that I don't let...

All the shit that people try to get you to think about, I don't really let that

affect me for the most part. I mean, you're human. You see and you hear it,

you want people to think that you're good at your job, just like everybody

But you can't ride the roller coaster of emotions through the season that the

NFL media tries to get the world to ride.

It's pinchy season over, bro.

Cincinnati, as tough as it is for me to say, you're done!

Listen, the fact is, we tracked these things since 1990.

There's four teams ever to start 0 -3 and make the playoffs. It's nearly

impossible. And you say, but Joe Burrow's got that glint in his eye. Joe

was not the problem last night. He's throwing touchdowns all through the

sky. He looks great. The problem is they're 0 -3, and as much as we may like

them because they were in the Super Bowl a couple years ago, that's an 0 -3

team.

Look, there's going to be games where I play like shit, and I need teammates to

pick me up in those spots and go out and make plays where I didn't.

That's team football.

That's how you win games. Not everybody's going to play great every

The magnifying glass is always on the first three or four weeks of the season

because everybody's so excited for the season to start.

and rightfully so, but it's a long season. There's still 14 games left.

nobody's making the playoffs in week three.

Do you think you'll be more vocal?

I think it depends on the situation.

There's a time and place for it. That's never really been who I am, and quite

frankly, I'm not very good.

in front of a lot of people unless I've like I

really have something to say when I really have something to say then I

say it

All we got is this fucking room.

Let's get this shame. Get the fuck home. I got something to say. Hold on. Hold

on.

Fellas.

Our back's against the fucking wall.

We're fighting for our lives today. Anybody disagree?

Let's go out and play like it. Play like our hair's on fire. Play like we got

nothing to lose.

Play like we're fighting for our lives. Let's fucking go.

Big day, baby. Let's go.

Fighting for our lives. Let's go.

Hey, we don't let anybody decide this game but us. It's time we finish it.

Trying to convert here on third down and three.

Panthers rush four.

Burrell has lots of time. And there's Jamar Chase with the catch. Breaking

tackle. Chase down the sidelines.

Panthers chasing Chase.

They won't catch him.

Yeah!

That's all you, baby.

63 yards.

Pinballing off tacklers to get the Bengals to lead.

Throw it to number one.

Third and goal from the one, six seconds left in the half.

Burrow, looking, swing, Moss, flip, dives, touchdown!

With one second left in the half, a risky call.

That's what I'm talking about, Zach. They passed it into the flat, short of

end zone. Zach Moss actually slipped, but got back on his feet and scored.

Thanks. I would have been in big trouble if you didn't score that.

I was like, oh, shit.

I saw you there, and I saw whoever was guarding you was in the end zone. I was

like, I'm giving it to him.

The Bengals get a badly needed road victory, their first win of the year.

beat the Carolina Panthers 34 -24.

It was a good win.

It's nice to get one, but one win is not going to make or break your season,

just like one loss isn't.

New week She was saying she might do a white women Wednesday

for music Madison our practice DJ said she was gonna think about throwing in a

white girl Wednesday for practice and when she said that I thought well That

could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people what which

white girl music are we talking about? I think it's gonna be Taylor Swift, but

there's a lot of other white women in the world that made music Katy Perry's a

white woman, that's true. Madonna.

You can play Madonna.

The question is, how off the rails white women do you go? I mean, are we going,

you know, Avril Lavigne?

Alanis Morissette?

Who's the girl, Amy Winehouse?

Who are some other white women who sing music?

Yeah, like Barbra Streisand.

Celine Dion.

Celine Dion. Coach, coach, if you play Celine Dion,

I drove all night, I'll have the best practice I've ever had.

Celine Dion, coach, that's a great pull.

I grew up, I was raised driving around in a 1989 Chrysler minivan with

Celine Dion playing and the cassette tape. That's what I grew up with.

And I didn't have a choice. I didn't know I had a choice. I'm six years old.

I'm six years old. I didn't even know I had a choice.

We came down here to Atlanta for the 96 Olympics with my family to watch it.

We listened to Celine Dion the whole way.

Mom's controlling the music.

And we were listening to a lot of Celine Dion back then.

I didn't mind it. I didn't mind it then, and I don't mind it now.

Do you remember this song, Jake, Celine Dion?

These other guys are too young.

Miley Cyrus is way down.

Celine Dion is way up.

I like this song because it's in the movie Thing 2.

And I love Thing 2.

Yes, Heavenly Father, give us split safety.

Here we go, on a turbo.

Turbo's hot!

You can't... When he slips him inside, I didn't feel like I could work him.

Hey, Bijan, I just... I'm okay if you slip a guy inside on your longhorn, but

then I need you to get back out to the red line. I felt like once you slipped

him, you stayed too thin.

I'm okay if you slip him, but then you gotta get to the red line.

These first three games have been pretty maddening.

The way I played, the way the offense has played, it's frustrating because

felt reasonably solid.

If I could play devil's advocate there. Yeah.

We're downtown at Mercedes -Benz Stadium. The Saints have just taken the

24 -23.

Yeah, the Saints game was a big game.

Being there was really fun. The atmosphere is incredible.

You get the swag surf.

I love that moment when the song plays and the crowd gets going. It's fun being

in the stadium for those home games.

Kirk Cousins, 29 career game -winning drives.

And last time he did it.

Philly game, and that was the thing of beauty.

He finds himself in a really similar situation.

We're going to be ready to go block, ex -bench takeoff. Are you good going down

the red line?

So you run your bench, then just go up the red line like a goalball.

Block, ex -bench takeoff.

We've been in those situations plenty of times before, so I think where 10 or 12

years ago, I'm freaking out in the stands, or I'm really nervous. Can he do

this? Can he get it done? I think at this point in his career.

I've seen him lead fourth quarter comebacks. I've seen him go and win

know that he can do it.

Come on, guys. Here we go.

Here we go.

The final half minute as they look to get up the field goal range.

Mooney throws a flag.

Adibo defending.

Two penalty markers.

And this is huge for the Falcons.

Pass interference.

Defense number 29.

That's extremely difficult for me to watch as Kirk has the ball in his hands

with a minute left in the game. It's not all on him, but it's a lot on him.

Second and ten.

From the same 40 -yard line.

Cousins fires Mooney to farm.

Here comes Kuhl to attempt a potential game winner.

That final two -minute drive, I just expected us to be so much sharper. We

basically got into field goal range off of a defensive pass interference, and

that was about it. We really didn't execute the way I had expected, and so I

mad at myself.

I was just mad at not being more productive in that moment.

You're always grateful to win, but the way I'm wired, that analytical

perfectionist, which can wear you out, drive you crazy, but it's also what

enables me to be successful.

That drive really frustrated me.

I wish I had led you more on the bench takeoff, obviously. It could have been a

walk -off.

And the go ball, he's really squatted. I felt that, so I was like, I got it, but

I didn't throw a good ball.

You look pretty frustrated, and I wonder if you're often this frustrated after a

win. You know, honestly, it felt like the final drive was really not good

by me, by our offense. But, yeah, I do dislike this about myself, that I kind

have a standard that's maybe unreachable.

Even after a win, you feel like you've got to play better. But, you know, I'll

still enjoy the win, believe me. But, yeah, there's just a lot we left out

there.

My favorite moment in the game was during the TV timeout. We were backed

they played a swag. A swag.

And the whole crowd just... That stadium gets a vibe going. Every TV timeout,

they get something going. I love it.

I love the energy.

I love it.

I've always wanted to stop at this cookout on the way home from a game.

Should we do it?

Fresh hamburgers? I think we have to.

I've just always wanted to.

What can I do for you?

I'd like a cookout burger meal, please.

I haven't had cookout in like a year.

And I've always wanted to go to this cookout. Why?

After a Falcons game. Because it's close to the stadium. Wait, you played with

the Falcons?

No, I was at the game. You can tell her you do.

I was at the game. Who won?

Falcons won in a close one.

How close was it? The final play.

Final kick.

Are you a Falcons fan?

Are you a Falcons fan?

I like Saints.

She liked the Saints.

Well, they lost today.

Who's that?

Thank you.

We will see you again someday after a Falcons game.

Yeah, I just, it still doesn't feel tight, the offense.

Agreed.

And it starts with me.

I just don't like, I don't like, I mean, we just scored a touchdown today.

I don't like basically saying, hey, defense.

Get us a touchdown.

Special teams, get us a touchdown. Coup, make a 58 -yarder.

It's just not how it should be.

I think there's a part of me that just always wants to fix things and improve

things, and so the minute a game is over and I see a place where we could

improve, my brain just goes to, how do we improve it?

Z -Rob and TJ, I'm just driving back from the game and would have a better

understanding of things after I watch the film, but just coming away from it,

just... Just felt like I wasn't that sharp.

So I first picked up the technique from Peyton Manning, of all people. He had

reached out doing his Monday night show. Rather than communicate over a phone

call, we basically just had a conversation via voice memo.

He said he used to voice memo coaches after games. And I thought, you know,

that's a really good way to kind of catch the coach at his convenience, but

be able to communicate so much more than a text message.

Hey, Rob, I just...

Wanted to say, driving back, I haven't watched the film yet, but I just

personally don't think I'm playing well enough.

There's nobody to blame.

It's not my ankle.

I just haven't been playing well enough, and I just feel like you need to hear

that from me.

It is picked off!

And then I'd love to just talk about, you know, what you're seeing and what

think I, we can do better.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I feel like I'm leaving a lot out there with Drake, like some of those corner

route, flag routes.

My only thing was I was getting hit as I was throwing the arrow.

I kind of see you setting it a little bit higher initially because the corner

route. My bad on the sack fumble.

I just got off, thrown off when the pivot broke out.

I want pivots to just sit because I was expecting to just put it on him. When he

broke out, it kind of just threw me off.

Sit! Just sit!

Just sit!

I can't emphasize enough how much that just sit, sit, sit.

Just sit!

I don't know if you guys are going to say it, so I'll just say it. Like, I

think I'm playing well enough. And I don't want to be saying this four more

weeks from now.

And I'm thrilled we won, and I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I got to

play better. And I kind of want to get to the bottom of why I'm not playing

better ASAP. So just thought I'd say that. Thanks.

All right.

Looking to Joe Burrow and the Bengals, they've finally gotten the win column

this season with the win over the Panthers in Week 4.

This game's going to be big for Cincinnati to keep pace in the AFC

Burrow knows he'll have to be at his best to come out with the W.

It's a big game. It's our first divisional opponent.

We're 1 -3, and it's a big game for the Bengals.

I think it's going to be more of that one as opposed to a down -the -field one

like it was in Ralph's on Air.

So I'm thinking like bench post hit.

Yeah, it's more like a through throw for me versus middle open, but you're just

leaning him to get across his face, and I'm throwing it.

Remember what I used to throw to Jets at LSU, that whatever we called it, it was

the huh.

Like lean him, and then he came across safety flat. Remember I hit him against

Georgia? It's more like that where it's like I'm throwing it early and flat.

So that safety can't get involved for you.

180.

By set.

Jamar is one of the best players of all time.

And if you're a quarterback and you're not going to throw to that guy, then

you shouldn't be the quarterback of that team anymore.

Talk to him out there, Jamar.

I think that's pretty cool that he say something like that. You know what I

mean? He believe in me.

We've just been getting better together for so long.

that we know exactly what each other is thinking on the field every time.

He's really intelligent, man. He's always trying to get an edge on

The way he gives me a look or he gives me a slight adjustment with his body,

I can read it.

That was shades of the national championship game between LSU and

As Chase caught it, it's a 15 perfectly floated by Burrow.

Whirl from the pocket, launches to the end zone.

Touchdown, Chase!

We came into LSU at the same time, and then I hear the stories from my parents

about how they hang out with his parents.

And they're tailgating together, drinking, smoking cigars, and usually

breeds some good friendship.

We met at a football game. I guess it would be our first time, huh?

No, we met in the stands.

In the stands. Because every time they would score,

Me and Jimmy would jump up and stuff like that. Yeah, so that would have been

2019. Yeah, 2019 we met. He was a freshman when I got there, so we were

still trying to figure it out.

And I was in a new place. I couldn't understand a word anybody was saying.

I was actually very confused.

It took me a while.

But he caught my first touchdown.

It was at Southeastern.

Yes. Fiesta Bowl was my favorite play. Fiesta Bowl was the, I want to, that was

probably the first time we really was like connected for real. When they

Joe out.

That's what I'm saying. That was the first game. You like my pick six?

That's my least favorite play. I know.

I like you getting up off the ground.

Okay. Took me a while.

Pressure coming.

And it's picked off.

Joe Burrow threw it right to him.

Guys, Joey Connors, number 91 for UCF. He looked up Burrow, found him, and

absolutely knocked him out. When they hit him, I think, it's over.

Come on, baby, we can go. It's over.

Good to see Joe Burrow back.

We know he's a tough guy.

He got up, I say, he's a bad guy.

Here's Burrow to throw. Loads up and fires. Got a wide open man.

Park for the touchdown.

So we're in Cleveland for the draft.

And it's been 2021.

The Bengals are on the clock. Last year, they had the number one overall pick.

It took Joe Bird.

And he already told me, like, he's going to come get me and stuff. But he must

have, like, finalized it. He must have went upstairs and like, yeah, this is

You know, because he texted me. I was like, yeah, bro, pack a bag. We can get

you.

With the fifth pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select Jamar Chase.

The fact that I had the opportunity to go play with my quarterback from

it was a dream come true.

It's going to come down to us like it always does.

Burrow throws it into the end zone for Chase.

He's got it!

Touchdown!

You can't tell me I don't throw him the ball enough.

You off the hook with that one.

Their chemistry.

When they scramble and stuff, it's kind of out of this world.

Joe Burrow started to scramble. The double team fell off, and you knew

was going to come back to his guy.

They just kind of know what each other are thinking.

There you go, number one.

This is like the first rough year we had. Everything had been kind of smooth,

you know.

But me and Jimmy and my wife, we talked about it.

Man, we, like, really going to be with y 'all for a while.

You know what I'm saying?

We're going to be doing this for, like, ten more years.

We hope so.

Joe Burrow knows how big of a moment

this week is against the Ravens.

Burrow said, I'm going to have to play damn near perfect.

That's how I'm preparing.

So it's an exciting opportunity.

I think he does have to play a near perfect game for the Bengals to come out

win this.

They have to be able to match the attack of the Baltimore Ravens.

I knew you were going to do the fuck out of me earlier.

I knew you were going to do it.

Just put some air on it. Let number one go get it.

Record in motion. To the air goes Jackson.

Caught. That's a touchdown.

Three -point game. Nine to play.

First and ten.

It's Burrow quickly outside.

Chase looking for blocks from his tight end. He gets two of them. And he's off

to the races.

That's a full race.

Working against Dino. And Jamal Chase, touchdown!

Are you fucking kidding me? I didn't do shit!

I didn't do shit! Probably the best game the NFL has seen through five weeks.

I didn't do shit!

Career high touchdown for me.

Jacks into the air.

Caught for a touchdown!

Makes it a three -point game again.

So Joe Burrow will take the field, having today 353 yards in a

career -high five -touchdown pass.

Here goes Burrow.

You know, we make one mistake at the end and an interception to let him kick a

field goal to get into overtime.

And he got it!

You know, every game is going to present unique challenges.

Hey, we're going to have to go do it again.

We're going to have to go do it again.

And whatever challenge presents itself is the challenge that you have to go and

face. On to overtime we go.
