You are Locked-on Bengals, your daily Cincinnati Bengals podcast, part of the Locked-on

Podcast Network, your team every day.

What up, Bengals fans, and welcome to another episode of the Lockdown Bengals Podcast.

I'm Jake Lisco, your host, along with James Rapine,

who will be joining me later to recap Bengals Browns as the Bengals dropped to two and out.

Today's episode is brought to you by Pepsi. Thanks to a lack of natural athleticism or

commitment or overbearing sports parents, fewer than 1% of 1% of 1% of people will ever play professional

football. But instead of entering the NFL, they've joined another league, the league of football

watchers. This season will be different, and Pepsi is here to get you ready for game day no matter

how you watch. I personally love streaming my own play-by-play when I watch the game,

but no matter how you watch the Bengals, Pepsi is a refreshment you need to power through

game because Pepsi isn't made for those who play the game. It's made for those who watch it.

Pepsi. Made for football watching. I'm going to start the show with my immediate reaction to the game.

Then I'll be joined by James to get some of his takes.

We'll talk about a little bit of the post game press conference stuff

and we'll take a look back through the quarters

at what happened in this game for the Bengals

and where it went wrong, which really was before halftime.

But we'll talk about that later on in the show.

Let's get started, though, by talking about the overall view of the game itself and some of the big takeaways.

I'm going to try to start with the positives from the 35 to 30 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland on Thursday night for the Bengals.

And that positive is Joe Burrow.
