NFL 2024 | Lions vs Vikings - Winner takes all

I think @Ayush_reddevil is being a bit harsh on the Bengals. The Bengals did exactly the right thing by going down on the 1 yard line to then milk the clock down to 20 seconds after the Denver TO to get the 3 point field goal. But unfortunately for them their player gets injured so they have to burn their own TO and consequently they have to go for 7 and leave over a minute on the clock because it's better than leaving 50+ seconds on the clock for the Broncos with only a 3 point lead.
They will draw.
Was it second down? Couldn’t they have eaten up the clock/forced a Broncos timeout, gone for the pushover on 3rd with FG on 4th as a back up?
Only three up but less time/timeouts.
Nah. FG for the Bengals from this position you’d imagine.
These announcers are awfully fixated on the backup RB for the 3rd string being Khalil Herbert.
Are you fecking kidding me
Holy shit 
What's going on
This is so funny
Ha ha ha ha
“There’s NO WAY the Bengals can lose this game”
Bengals… “hold… my … coat”
“There’s NO WAY the Bengals can lose this game”
Bengals… “hold… my … coat”
Denver calling the timeouts still keeps this game on
Joe Burrow deserves better than this fecked up team
Literally zero faith in Nix getting a first down there
This is some game. Proper comedy
This is somehow simultaneously the worst and best game I’ve watched this season.
Wtf kind of playcalling is this
Nothing makes sense in this OT
I can't imagine what you guys are going through but as a neutral I can't stop laughing at the comedy
And it was dull (I thought) for 2.5-3 quarters. Then they all woke up and went stupid
Absolutely no interest in getting that first down from the Broncos
Burrow should do it all by himself again
Burrow should do it all by himself again
Higgins is going to get paid not money this off season
Get innnn
I support two sets of bottlers
Finally
Let's fecking go!
Throwing the ball from the 2 yard line is wild there
Never in doubt
Good, I like Burrows
Good, I like Burrows
Meh. Sean Payton had multiple opportunities to call plays to win the game (or draw). Went conservative every time.
Kid has talent.Never in doubt
Good, I like Burrows
Even more, then run game not up the middle was kind of reliable.
His playcalling has been so shit so frequently all season.
Chiefs probably don't want to see the broncos make the playoffs but they hate the Bengals just as much so I can't see them trying too hard next week
It was 2nd down and the Broncos had 2 time outs after the injury TO from Cincinnati with 90 seconds left. Had the Bengals decided to kneel twice and kicked the field goal they would have given the Broncos about 45 seconds to respond with either a field goal or a touchdown with no TOs remaining. You opt for scoring a TD in that scenario on the basis that if you opted for the field goal the Broncos could have gotten within field goal range in just one play and you staring at the real possibility of a loss in regulation. In the scenario where you score a TD the worst case scenario is that you go to overtime unless they go for 2.
Edit: you could have opted for the kneel down on 2nd and attempted to push it in on the third, but when you kneel down you lose 1-2 yards so you can't QB sneak it on the next play. I don't think the 1 extra TO is worth all of that if you don't actually get into the endzone and end up kicking the field goal. The same-ish amount of time would be on the clock for the Broncos regardless if you pushed it in on 2nd or 3rd down.

If our second stringers end the Broncos season
They won't give a toss for either. Rest Kermit and Mr Swift
Yeah mahomes and kelce won't play but in the nfl you can't really rest too many so depends on what level Wentz can play at
