00:00Never in the history of the NFL have we seen a team start 0-3 and win a Lombardi trophy

00:09only once since the turn of the millennium in 2000.

00:13Have we seen a team start 0-3 and make the postseason?

00:18That was the 2018 Houston Texans.

00:20So when I say that the Bengals season is done, I mean it, at least by the relative expectation.

00:27For the second time in only three weeks in each of their two home games so far this year

00:34in Cincinnati, the Bengals fail to cover as a 7.5 point home favorite.

00:39They fail to even win outright as Washington, behind a historic night from Jaden Daniels,

00:45goes on the road and wins 38-33 in an offensive affair in Cincinnati.

00:50Again, Washington winning outright as a 7.5 point underdog on the road.

00:56Yeah, and kudos to Dan Quinn, the new head coach here for the Commanders.

01:04You know, there were, the perception of him as being somebody that's a very, you know,

01:10won't take a ton of chances, very conservative, and yet we watched him send a rookie quarterback

01:16out there in bold spots with fourth down, not once, not twice, but three times to go

01:23for it, not fourth in inches, but we're talking about fourth and two, fourth and three, especially

01:28in the fourth quarter, and allowed him to keep it going, and his rookie quarterback

01:33paid him off.

01:34I mean, if you would have told me 436 yards by Joe Burrow and Chase and Higgins and that

01:39offense, I'd have said, wow, they really did blow him out, but nope.

01:44This Cincinnati Bengals defense might be the worst we have seen in a very, very long time.
