00:00Usually it's like, okay, Bengals not going to play any starters.

00:02Eagles not going to play any starters.

00:03What a boring game.

00:04We start hearing from Zach Taylor saying, no more slow starts in Cincinnati.

00:08Joe Ranieri.

00:09We're going to put our best players on the field and let them rip.

00:12And Joe Burrow did that.

00:13Nine of 10 for a buck, 23, two touchdowns, played a couple series in that game.

00:17That offense looks like it's moving.

00:19Now, granted, the Philadelphia Eagles defense was playing its backups.

00:22You understand that.

00:22But those were the expectations.

00:54We don't care if it's against the backups.

00:56And it's exactly what you would expect it to get, 9-10, $1.23, and two touchdowns.

01:04They got 15 reps.

01:06And they were, it was exactly, spread it around, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins, everybody got involved.
