Loveland, Ohio – It’s the first podcast of 2025! The Bengals need a win on Saturday night, and then a lot of help from the Chiefs and Jets on Sunday in order to make it into the playoffs. Chris and Mark break down just how likely it will be that Carson Wentz and Aaron Rodgers come up big, and they try to find some positivity. They also look back at another cardiac Cincinnati win, this time against a very talented Broncos team. The defense played decently for the first time in recent memory against a quality opponent, and Joe Burrow was his old magnificent self. Then, Mark addresses the Bearcats’ first loss in conference play against Kansas State, and explains why there’s no reason to panic. Cincinnati has a chance to erase all the questions with a big win at home against the Arizona Wildcats.
