Neither of those two picks was on White.
The first one sure was, that pass was poorly timed/placed. He got some bad luck on the tipped ball falling in the safety’s lap, but that happens not infrequently on contested slants that are poorly placed against two deep coverage.

Bengals challenging and it seems like there is a better chance it is not a catch than it is a TD.

Cincy challenging a ball ruled just short of the EZ after first and goal was…..odd? You’ve got three quarters to play, it wasn’t obviously the wrong call, and you’ve got three more downs.

Lost the challenge and scored on second down.

White misses an easy throw for a TD and we miss a FG. It was fun winning the first quarter, though.

Stafford padding the MVP resume against the Lions and Texans.
Well, what's he supposed to do ... play poorly? As fans of a team that feasted on the Bills, Jets and Dolphins for years, we have not reason to complain.

i didn’t find it that odd, simply because they just failed to score on 4 goal to go opportunities a few minutes prior.

Not that serious of a comment. And he is playing poorly today, but still has 2 TDs on the stat sheet because you know, Texans.
There has been a lot of weird stat padding talk about QBs in this forum recently.

Like, are the QBs supposed to not try to score TDs?

Fields has run more designed bootlegs this half than all his previous appearances combined.
Not a coincidence that:
1. Nagy is out with COVID
2. Fields has more rushing yards than all his other games
3. He's playing better as a passer too.

I guess I get what you're saying, but do you really think Nagy wasn't a part of devising this game plan? Or are you saying his absence on game day is the difference?

The booth guys need to do better there for the Jets, that was close enough to merit a challenge given it gained 20 plus yards, avoided a fourth down FGA, and put the ball at the 2.

It seems like Bengals getting fumble luck on top of catch call luck is not that fair. I’m owed a lot of karma on this game
