00:00First of all, do you think Burrow's going to play?

00:03Yeah, I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

00:04So they came out of their Wednesday practice kind of feeling as if,

00:10like, what more does he need to show?

00:12He looked really good moving around.

00:15Came back no ill effects on Thursday,

00:17and then they're going to make the decision today.

00:21I think the decision's already been made.

00:23And by the way, the line has moved.

00:24It's New England 6th now instead of 7th.

00:27It's not the decision.

00:28The decision's going to come down to how he feels,

00:30and they are going to protect him.

00:32That's part of the whole thing.

00:34It's just the plan had been that he was going to come back middle of December.

00:39That timeline got moved up when he got back out of the practice field last week,

00:43and it was kind of, okay, can we get through the next three games

00:47and still have something to play for?

00:51And he just kind of kept pushing and pushing and pushing.

00:54And, you know, now, like, there's – they're at the point where it's like

00:59there's nothing keeping us from putting him out there.

01:02But, yeah, they were going to make the final decision today.

01:05He came back off of Wednesday's practice, felt good, practiced fully yesterday.

01:10Now they'll see how he feels this morning to make the final decision.

01:12Okay.

01:13So how much does that mean in this particular game

01:16and for the rest of Cincinnati's season?

01:17I mean, in this game, it's huge because he's one of the best players in football.

01:22Now, I think if we were talking about Jamar Chase also being out there,

01:29now I think the game becomes a complete toss-up.

01:33Because they don't have Chase, I still think I'd lean New England.

01:36But, look, like, you know, one thing about the Bengals is as bad as their defense has been,

01:42and, like, last year at this time of the year, they just – they started rolling

01:49and they won a bunch of shootouts, and Burrow was playing at as high a level

01:54as he'd ever played.

01:56I think Burrow should have been a stronger contender for MVP last year.

02:01Like, if you look, he won – like, his top receiver, like, Jamar, won the Triple Crown.

02:06And, like, Burrow was that league leader in a ton of passing categories

02:10with, you know, all the stress on him to score a million points

02:15because the defense was terrible.

02:16The defense might be worse this year than it was last year.

02:19And so this has potential to be a real shootout.
