How many times can Joe Flacco win comeback player of the year?! What an incredible game, and a huge, huge win for the Bengals. Tomlin was right. What on earth was Cleveland thinking giving up on Flacco? And trading him to the Bengals?

Absolutely great game.. Fun to watch from start to finish..

Fun game. Quality QB play from the two veterans. Chase was huge for the Bengals. Flacco's reaction to Chase dropping an easy catch was priceless. RB Warren also had a really good game for the Steelers.

Flacco and Rodgers were wheeling and dealing in the fourth Icy Hot Bowl. The way the game was going I thought the Bengals shot themselves in the foot leaving time for Rodgers to throw one up there. Tomlin might be found outside the Browns front office sometime in the early morning.

If the Bengals can keep winning, Burrow might return in December for a divisional win or wildcard.

Overreactions after Bengals' win over Steelers: Joe Flacco saves season? Aaron Rodgers to rethink retirement?

Which overreactions from the Bengals' win over the Steelers have merit?

Flacco's 342 passing yds was his 45th game of 300 + passing yards & his 18th career highest in a game. His 47,073 total career passing yds is now 14th among the NFL All-Time passing yardage leaders (with his SB MVP - future HOF?)

Vikings to start Wentz vs. Eagles; McCarthy QB3

Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz will make his fourth consecutive start Sunday against the Eagles, according to coach Kevin O'Connell, who added that J.J. McCarthy will be designated as the emergency third quarterback.

Looks like O'Connell would rather stick with Wentz hoping for a Joe Flacco type performance than inserting McCarthy back into the starting lineup. Lol.

If Russell Wilson has been playing his way out of the HOF (as Tony Gonzales and Richard Sherman alluded) then somehow, some way, Flacco may be playing his way into it. Might take a good 20, 30 years, but he could. The issue Wilson may have is he, like maybe Wentz, still thinks he's got what Flacco has. He may only be one step or so behind, but that step means everything at this point.

I doubt Wentz is seeking, or will get, any kind of revenge against the Eagles. But this could be an interesting game for both teams.

Reportedly high winds will be the story at the upcoming Miami-Browns game. Maybe 30mph steady, with gusts up to 45 or so. Since neither team run the ball all that well, and neither QB is known for a cannon of an arm... Browns had a guy with a pretty good arm and a lot of experience, but they traded him to the Bengals.

And if Cleveland gets the dome they want, these kinds of fun games will cease to exist in the future.

I’m surprised that KC area media published this.
