Bengals win 2 games straight. Defense is causing turnovers and they are flying to the ball. On Offense, we are getting the ball to our playmakers and it is helping our team. We will use this to build for next year as the season is almost to an end. The Draft should be good but we may be out of place to get the player we want at the most important positon on the field.

The LA Rams have seemed to find some kind of identity. Gurley in a recent press conference with LA Sports Nation said he wants the ball more. He mention that he was a bit uncertain on why he was not the starter in week 1. Coach Sean McVay said it was more of a scheme to have Gurley line up in certain packages. Now that Rookie Keith Curtis is out, Gurley wants the team on his back. Rams will take on the Packers later this evening in an NFC matchup. Green Bay poses a threat to stop the run while LA looks to keep them off balanced.

Well what can we say. Can the Titans be stopped? The 2020 Superbowl was a great game, but the Eagles could not overcome the Titans front 7 and fast secondary. Tennesse sent blitzes from all angles to get key sacks with those Elite Nike Speedsters at Cornerback. Eagles Stud QB Cody Hart could not get any help from his offensive line as he went 12 for 20 for 233 yards and 2 Ints. Nelson Agholor finished the game with 4 receptions for 142 yards. No Eagle players caught a passing TD in that game. Tennesse depended on a solid defensive game plan to contain Hart. Mariota only went for 220 yards 1 TD and 1 Int but managed the game as expected. The Titans recorded 6 sacks in the heart breaking 3 Point defeat over Coach Hustla's Eagles to claim its 3rd straight ring.
Well what can I say about the AFC other than mentioning that the Tennessee Titans are legit. Winning back two back Super bowls is a tough deal, but when you have a lack of fire power as a Conference, that could explain why. The AFC leader is the Titans followed by the 2nd seeded Raiders, Jets, Ravens, Dragons, and Browns. All of those teams are expected to be in the playoffs in the exact order unless the Chiefs make a deep run with sanctions that were handed down early in the year. One thing is for sure is that the only hope for an AFC team to knock off the Mighty Titans could be the Oakland Raiders, NY Jets, or the Ravens, but then again who has the best team overall. It would be NYJ and Baltimore. With the remaining schedule for the Raiders, I do not see them losing another game, however they could lose one more vs the Rams or Bucs and the Ravens can run the table for sure. That could very well be your top 3 teams to knock off the Mighty Titans. As you know, there are about 4 teams that has a 90 + overall rating in the AFC but when it comes to executing and big time games, none of these teams can prevail over Tennessee. I mean does anyone have an answer for Mariota, Toliver, Jacobs, Green-Beckham. The Titans WR Core is not the best, but can anyone stop the Corner and Post routes from Coach Manajur ? I would guess not! So lets all REMEMBER THE TITANS!
The NFC have some pretty good teams. As you know, The Eagles are undefeated in the NFC and NFC East. The Cowboys in the NFC East are the defending NFC Champions and are looking to get back in the title game after being embarrased by Back to Back Champions Tennessee Titans. The NFC West have the STL Rams holding strong, but the NFC North is horrific. The current divison leader is the Chicago Bears with a 5-5 .500 record. That divison could very well be the worse in BDML History. One thing is for sure is that the NFC South may have two or maybe 3 possible teams in the Playoffs. The Panthers are the divison leaders, but behind them are the Saints and Bucs. The Bucs have a tough ride for the rest of the season losing their starting QB Jameis Winston for 6 weeks. The Bucs Colin Kaepernick lead his team to a 56-35 win over the Denver Broncos with him going for 13 of 21 229 yards in the air and 1 td and 2 ints after Winston went down. Will it be enough for the Bucs with their remaining schedule vs the 7-3 Panthers playing them twice, 7-3 Saints, 5-4 sleeper Falcons twice and to end the season at Oakland on the road which is a very talented team. The Bucs may not even make the playoffs, nor is it certain that the Saints will. One thing is for sure is that you will see the Eagles, Cowboys both in playoffs with either Saints/Bucs or just the Panthers or Bucs and Panthers. Someone will emerge late and go on a big time run. who? Can Chicago do it with a rough start even though they are leading their divison. Can the Rams make a run or will it be the same ole Cowboys back again. Only time will tell !
