It was a dumb fun game with two barely competently run teams throwing their shit all over each other's incompetent defenses, until one lost on the 3rd or 4th possession of fucking overtime

It was highly entertaining, but let's calm down with the accolades over stats for a game we didn't see maybe?..

If you only saw the highlights, then yes it probably looked like a back and forth battle and not the shit fest that it was. And that's fine, you can enjoy games through highlights.

Edit just to make it clear while I wait for a show to start.. The basic story for the Bengals was Joe would go off, mostly connecting with Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki with short passes, picking on Bronco's weakened defense (aside from Surtain), especially Riley Moss. They'd march down the field, and then one of two things would happen: 1) They'd get within FG range and then go for it on 4th, turning it over on downs, or 2) Joe would get sacked, killing a drive (7 times total I believe). Joe had no picks with 49 attempts though, which also helped keep them in it.

On the other side, Broncos couldn't do much at all, but incompetent coaching kept them in it. At one point the Bungles had their RB take a knee at the 1 instead of scoring so they could kill the clock to win the game with a FG - injuring himself in the process - they then decided to score immediately anyway with a QB sneak on the next play. This gave the Broncos a chance at a miracle ~1 minute drive, which they delivered on.

It was a dumb fun game, like the first Ravens/Bengals game where it seemed like neither team wanted to win until it was nearly over. Both defenses were completely inept.
