Good morning.

It is time to get up with a Thursday night.

Thriller, Flacco goes wacko. as the burrowless Bengals bite back

against Pittsburgh. We're all over it. Meanwhile, the fallout in Philly. Could these

Eagles be grounded for good if they can't flip the script in Minnesota? Which sets up, the game

of the week could be Cowboys Commanders. If that door is open in the East, which of these

contenders is ready to roll through? Answers to those and other questions as we get up.

Yes. Gentlemen, brings the heat like Jessica Mendoza. We're all over the baseball from yesterday.

The football squad is ready to go. Fortinball's got you covered from every possible gambling direction. Let's do this on a Friday. We start last night in Cincinnati. The game of the night, Steelers and the Bengals. It's Flacko. It's Rogers. They're a combined 81 years old at kickoff. Third and six on the Steelers opening drive. Harry, Joan Aaron Rogers has lots of time. They said he was too old, but Aaron Rogers buys time, scrambles around, scrambles around, and finds another tight-in. John Smith for a touchdown. Eight seconds, he held that football. Steelers take an early 7-0 leading you're thinking, okay, here they come. They're 4-and-one. They're for real. You're thinking wrong because Jamar Chase had himself an unbelievable night. This is Bengals second and goal? Bart, why is Chase in single coverage? I don't know. The same thing. Make you laugh. Make you cry. You talk about $179 million on defense. I need a rebate. Jaylon Ramsey singled up on him out there, and that's the theme of the night. Harry will talk about as we continue. They just wouldn't get away from that coverage. Now, very next drive, as Burrow loves it, Steelers on a first and 10. Where exactly is Rogers throwing this ball? This is inexcusable. He should have hit his checkdown, Jaylen Warren, who was right there over the ball.

Sometimes you get greedy.

This is the only bad play I thought Aaron Rogers made last night. And that sets up this. It's Flacko with T. Higgins and Peter. They're not going to get him 29 yards. No, they're not. It wasn't just Jermard Chase last night. last night, T. Higgins had a huge game as well. It won't be discussed as much.
