00:00We're able to continue to hold off to pull off the W or I don't

00:06even know hold off is the correct terminology because it

00:08went toe-to-toe there for a minute that stalemate did not

00:10get broken until the final seconds of this final quarter.

00:14So Tom biggest takeaways from this matchup is the Chargers

00:17come out on top hosting 34 points and mega yardage between

00:20both of these quarterbacks.

00:23I would say the takeaway from this game is a same old same

00:26old ultimately for the Bengals where Joe Burrow has to do

00:29everything and their defense is absolutely abysmal where they

00:33really can't say we're and I credits them for like the

00:35majority of the second half their defense actually look

00:37good. And that's what allowed the Bengals come back Chargers

00:40like they I think there's still a good team and they're on

00:43the path to make the playoffs, but they got to kind of I

00:45would say figure things out a little bit on offense because

00:47they didn't really get the run game going today.

00:49And then that's where we saw their offense struggle in the

00:52second or say especially in the second half.

00:54That's where they didn't get things going in.

00:56No, Herbert has been super solid this year.

00:58He's taking care of the ball is not throwing interceptions,

01:00but they still need to have some of that consistency after

01:03they have this momentum from the first half.

01:05So really good stuff from the Chargers.

01:08It's big for them for their playoff odds, you know, especially

01:11picking up this one, especially with the Ravens losing the

01:13Chiefs losing obviously fully expect those teams to make it

01:16but just their seating potential is in a very good spot.

01:20Yeah, that was about to be where I was pivoting next because

01:22heading into this matchup.

01:23They were sitting in a 91% of seeing the postseason, which

01:26is fantastic considering the number of injuries and the

01:28number of question marks heading into this.

01:30They did also come to this matchup with six wins.
