00:00Last night we saw an epic battle. Didn't know we would get out of that game. The Pittsburgh Steelers

00:03were a five and a half point favorite total coming in around 44 and a half to 45 depending

00:08where you're shopping at around game time. What did we see? 33-31 final with a great comeback for

00:14the Steelers and another great comeback for the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Flacco threw for 342 yards

00:19and three touchdowns. Aaron Rodgers threw for 249 and four touchdowns. And here's Joe Flacco

00:24talking about the game yesterday post game about him and Aaron Rodgers playing in this bad boy.

00:30Man, it's a lot of fun. Obviously it's a lot of fun towards the end of the game when you're

00:35getting ready to go. But this is what we do it for is games like that. It came down to the

00:45wire just like we know it's going to. And really, really happy about how the guys just kind of

00:51stayed with it for a full 60 minutes. Man, our offensive line was going today. We're running

00:58the football, protecting, you know, doing a lot of things that we wanted to do.

01:02Wild to watch this game finish because Joe Flacco was right. The issue that I had with

01:07the Cincinnati Bengals coming into the game wasn't that I had great wide receivers or Flacco couldn't

01:11spin it downfield. My question was, could that offensive line hold up against that Steelers

01:15pass rush? And it did. Now granted, they gave up two sacks, but no turnovers for Joe Flacco,

01:20a pass rating of 108.6, 342 in the air, three touchdown passes. The running game got cranked up

01:26and had a comeback at the end of the game. What a perfect scenario for Joe Flacco, who's been in town

01:31less than two weeks, Joe? Well, and really, it was the running game is what nullified the pass rush.

01:38His ability to A, get it out quickly, which again, he did. And that comes with experience,

01:45right? And knowing that you have, all I got to do is put it in the right spot. I got two of the best

01:49wide receivers in the game and good things will happen. But it was that running game that really

01:55made Pittsburgh reconsider just trying to pin their ears back and go after Joe Flacco. So

02:01all in all, I mean, the biggest disappointment wasn't the offense of Pittsburgh because we kind

02:08of thought they would put points up, especially after Hendrickson was ruled out and not playing in

02:13this game for Cincinnati's defense. But, you know, you had everyone back. You had Joey Porter Jr.,

02:18Darius Slaya, Jalen Ramsey, this entire defense was healthier than it's ever been. And they got

02:24absolutely torched in that game, Donnie.

02:27They're all ready for that game. Just there is. It is.
