That was a hell of an effort.
And let's be clear, that was a pretty ballsy performance by that OL. #Bengals— LanceMcAlister (@LanceMcAlister) January 22, 2023

“Diggs is gonna torch those corners”
🔸Diggs on the day: 4 catches for 35 yards
“#Bengals OL will never hold up”
🔸172 rushing yards, 3 QB hits and 1 sack (likely not on the OL) on 36 drop backs.
Y’all just keep sleeping. We’ll be knocking down your door soon.

Stunned by the performance of the Bengals tackles and cornerbacks. Maybe they were starting the wrong tackles all along? Lol
