_“Thanks for losing, Kev.”_
Unlike last week in Tampa, the Falcons looked like a real professional football team this morning in Spain.
Atlanta, however, was no match for the Bengals’ defense, which had no visible flaws as Joe enjoyed the game with a bowl of Fruit Loops and a few perfectly ripened pears.
The Bengals won 34-17 and jumped their record to 6-2 as the Falcons fell to 3-6.
That means the Bucs (3-5) are alone in second place in the NFC South, a half-game behind the Panthers (3-4), which host the Broncos at 1 p.m. The Saints (2-5) are a half game behind the Bucs. They’re coming off a bye week and will host the Browns at 1 o’clock, with quarterback Shedeur Sanders making his first start for Cleveland.
Could the entire NFC South landfill lose today? That would be so on brand.
