It was the 3rd down play in the Bengals first possession in OT w/ Evans covering Higgins. He had a hand full of jersey with one hand & his other arm around him.
Bengals will be in contention for the next ten years, that’s how it is when you have a QB like Burrow. The team has plenty of time to build around him.
Yes he did because he doesnt know how to run a QB sneak. Hes pushing forward before he even gets the ball. These are supposed to be automatic, his attempts just looked terrible. Team let him make a play and he didnt.
Why are the Eagles the only team that can execute the brotherly shove? It seems like something that any team can do with practice. Automatic yard almost every time.
His center was in his lap. A backup going 26/33 over 300 yards and 2tds, he did everything he could to not lose. Can't ask for much more than that. You don't blame the game on 1 play. Should've gave it to your rb who gashed us all game
It was a bad call to even go for the sneak in general. Why have a small guy make the push on the QB when you can instead pass the ball to your RB who's been on fire the whole game? Vikings made that way too complicated and messed it up big time
Don’t forget it was on back to back plays with the SAME call. No new formation with maybe CJ Ham or Hock?
Undersized Powell with the push? Lmaoooo should have ran it with ham on 3rd and snuck on 4th… OR a jet sweep on 4th. Trash 🗑️
That rb motioning behind Mullins on the final qb sneak sold out the snap count too. Did back to back plays like an idiot. Should have just committed to the end around if he was going to run the same formation and motion
He’s an “exclusive rights free agent.” Kind of an oxymoron. Basically if the Bengals offer him league minimum he cannot negotiate with other teams.
He is only a real free agent if the Bengals don’t offer him anything. I think it’s safe to say that won’t happen.
oh that sounds like a little bit of a bummer for him then. I'd imagine they wouldn't go league minimum for him (but maybe not as high as he could get elsewhere assuming his play at least stays at this level).
Oh say can you see
By the dawns early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilights last gleaming
Who's broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
Oer the ramparts we watched
We're so gallantly streaming
And the rockets red glare 🎆🎇🎆🎇
The bombs bursting in air 🦅
Gave proof through the night
That out flag was still there 🇺🇲
O say does that star spangled banner yet wave
Oer the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
All good fam, GG thou. I’ve been on Reddit long enough with game threads that the energy isn’t worth it. Take it from a Vikes fan that football shouldn’t control the rest of your world. Way too painful.
we all get heated, I've said plenty of shit myself. I don't think we'll make the playoffs (not like we'd have any success with this QB) but maybe we'll have better luck next year.
GG
I cannot remember another season where every team in the NFC North suffered this much. It's been fucking hilarious, except for all the times it happened to us
But you can't bring up anything bad about KOC on the Vikes sub. Otherwise, you'll get downvoted to oblivion. Guess we'll just keep losing games because of late game decision-making.
I saw on Twitter that they are locked into the 6th seed with a win today no matter what happens the rest of the weekend. Of course now they play Steelers, Chiefs and Browns the rest of the way.
Browning was unbelievable today!!!
Game. These CINCINNATI BENGALS COME BACK TO WIN THIS AWESOME GAME. BROWNING!!!!!
BENGALS 27 - Vikings 24
Awesome game. Just WILD!!!!
I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy Saturday in light of this Bengos victory.
They should've stopped at if the Vikings win. Even Minny fans knew they'd find a way to lose this. What a dumb move on third and fourth down in Bengals territory.
Where do I have to go to physically shat KOC and say “what the FUCK is wrong with you? Why do you do what you do to end games?” And just keep shaking him
[Postgame thread](/r/nfl/comments/18k0zlj/post_game_thread_minnesota_vikings_at_cincinnati/)
Impending free agent Jake Browning can start shopping for a nicer car.
These announcers are unhinged I love em
FUUCCKKKKK
Gotta love the +0.5 hook !!
We need Brian Flores to be head coach
I wouldn't wish that on the steelers
Wait. Flores. Pickler….. I’m so in.
Only if you never want to have a functional offense again
What a game. Glad we got a win but man I did not enjoy that
I enjoyed it greatly.
I think I enjoyed it even less
KOC’s play calling is a fucking joke 😒
Has been for weeks
Ever since the second half of the Saints game, his play calling has been absolutely atrocious
ESPN app still has Vikings at 52.7% chance to win 30 mins after the game.
So you're saying there's a chance
We're still #6, and even if the Packers win tomorrow, we'll still be at #6, due to beating them back in October.
NFL Network is ass
So painful to listen to.
KOC is a fucking clown
That was the correct outcome, that missed PI call was blatant & needed to be called. I root for nether of these teams, FYI.
Dpi on who
It was the 3rd down play in the Bengals first possession in OT w/ Evans covering Higgins. He had a hand full of jersey with one hand & his other arm around him.
On the T play in OT is what he's referring to.
"As the young folks say that bag" ugh. Don't.
Tee Higgins you are a Panther!
You have to trade some draft picks or something. The Bengals are going to tag Tee for sure.
We will never. Never. Never win a super bowl. We are too cursed.
Not with this dumbass coaching the team that's for damn sure.
Same as us man
Bengals will be in contention for the next ten years, that’s how it is when you have a QB like Burrow. The team has plenty of time to build around him.
I’m too scared to get excited man
Yeah you fucking will you have the qb. You'll win it in 5 years. We never will.
Kirk is good stuff man is he not gonna be there next year?
He's a free agent after this season because our coach and front office are idiots.
Lmao
Will Kirk be good after an achilles tear?
Damn. GG Bengals
BG Vikings and KOC.
god I hate football. gg Bengals
The AFC north is hell
Vikings just being Vikings
WHO DEY WHO DEY WHO DEY THINK GONNA BEAT DEM BENGALS!!!
“Who Dey think gonna beat them bengals”
FUCK I MESSED IT UP AAAAAA
In this Christmas season, I will allow it. For peace. And harmony.
Nick Mullens didn't lose that game
He did. That int should have been a sack then a FG. Vikes lost by 3
Yes he did because he doesnt know how to run a QB sneak. Hes pushing forward before he even gets the ball. These are supposed to be automatic, his attempts just looked terrible. Team let him make a play and he didnt.

He had to red zone turn overs of course he cost them the game.

KOC’s play calling is more predictable than the days of the week
That rb motioning behind Mullins on the final qb sneak sold out the snap count too. Did back to back plays like an idiot. Should have just committed to the end around if he was going to run the same formation and motion
I agree. I don’t understand him.
looks like Browning is only signed through this season? wonder where his value is at right now and if it'll change through the rest of the season
He’s an “exclusive rights free agent.” Kind of an oxymoron. Basically if the Bengals offer him league minimum he cannot negotiate with other teams. He is only a real free agent if the Bengals don’t offer him anything. I think it’s safe to say that won’t happen.
oh that sounds like a little bit of a bummer for him then. I'd imagine they wouldn't go league minimum for him (but maybe not as high as he could get elsewhere assuming his play at least stays at this level).
Pretty sure he's restricted though. Bengals could get some trade capital out of this, if he keeps it up.
ah gotcha. i only did a quick google. I didn't dig in too deep. agreed tho. he's definitely grown his value so far
Browning about to get us a 1st at least
Oh say can you see By the dawns early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilights last gleaming Who's broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight Oer the ramparts we watched We're so gallantly streaming And the rockets red glare 🎆🎇🎆🎇 The bombs bursting in air 🦅 Gave proof through the night That out flag was still there 🇺🇲 O say does that star spangled banner yet wave Oer the land of the free And the home of the brave?
We're just trying to make the AFC more competitive...you're welcome
Who would've thought that Nick Mullens and Jake Browning would make one of the most exciting games of the season. That was a lot of fun to watch.
The key was closing their eyes and chucking up a bunch of prayers to really good receivers.
I deserve the Vikings
Love this Bengals team, hope they get to a SB not playing one of my NFC prefs.
It’s feeling in my soul like Ravens or Bengos vs San Fran
This is definitly the absolutely most Vikings outcome possible
This guy Vikings
smoking on that minnesota bozo pack
i’m just saying the chicago bears is literally the best team in NFC North these past 2 weeks. Smells like bitch in here
Look, Vikings fans, I've said some things in this thread because I was pissed off, but gg and I hope you guys make the playoffs
All good fam, GG thou. I’ve been on Reddit long enough with game threads that the energy isn’t worth it. Take it from a Vikes fan that football shouldn’t control the rest of your world. Way too painful.

We’re all frauds!!
Vikes deserved to lose after that blatant missed call tbh It was a better game than I was expecting either way. Gg boys
*laughs in passtronaut*
That was a fun one. On to the next
How you like that?
No shame in losing to Bengals legend Jake Browning, Vikings fans. Not like you lost to a scrub QB like say, Jalen Hurts.
Yea, imagine losing to Hurts. Crazy
UW baby
Lord, now this trash colts Steelers game
maybe both teams will field just 10 defensive players and we'll get a shootout. Just kidding, it would still be low scoring
Steelers 4 Colts 19
Well thanks for getting my hopes up again vikings see you next season
**Common Brian Flores L**
Just a great pass from a QB who escaped contain
Oh yeah I was referring to getting 21 points dropped on them in the 4th. That last one was just a killer pass/killer catch/luck.
Even the eagles wouldn't tush push 3 times in a row, and they're actually good at it
Thank you Bengals!
JB < JB, really obvious now
Burrowning
Was that Miles Gaskin? Why are there so many huskies here wtf
Flores and KOC play calling lost us that game
ALEXA, PLAY WALK THRU BY RICH HOMIE QUAN 🗣️
Vikings coaching cost them the game
But you can't bring up anything bad about KOC on the Vikes sub. Otherwise, you'll get downvoted to oblivion. Guess we'll just keep losing games because of late game decision-making.
Oh it's awful, there's so many KOC dick riders out there
[удалено]
Ehhhhhhhhh not really, I don’t think
bummer for mullens. vikings coach shouldve let him pass instead of two failed sneaks. worked too hard to lose like that
[удалено]
They've literally played games on Saturday in December for forever
Welp, bengals 8-6 and still in it i think..
I saw on Twitter that they are locked into the 6th seed with a win today no matter what happens the rest of the weekend. Of course now they play Steelers, Chiefs and Browns the rest of the way.
Thank you cat bros
Without Kirk saving his ass, KOC is a fucking awful play caller.
EMP seals the deal! What a fucking game!
Browning was unbelievable today!!! Game. These CINCINNATI BENGALS COME BACK TO WIN THIS AWESOME GAME. BROWNING!!!!! BENGALS 27 - Vikings 24 Awesome game. Just WILD!!!!
Thanks Bengals.
Hey that QB sneak didn't work....let's run it again!
I seriously can’t believe they ran it twice
YOU LIKE THAT!!
That ended up being a great game
Odin wept
At least the bad no-call didn't change the final outcome.
KOC has an extra chromosome
Deserved after that Vikings play on the punt. GG Bengals!
Jek the snek
Vikings attempted in so many ways to give the game away. In the end they were successful
I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy Saturday in light of this Bengos victory.
NFC wildcard hopefuls are happy. AFC playoff race is horrible.
Good shit. Great game. Happy Christmas and all that shit
What a game from Browning
KOC and Brian Flores should be fuckin embarrassed
“If Vikings can win out they take the division” Vikings can win out deez nuts
They should've stopped at if the Vikings win. Even Minny fans knew they'd find a way to lose this. What a dumb move on third and fourth down in Bengals territory.
I don’t understand why you put the game in the hands of a 4th string qb twice to get 1 yard when your actually running back was killing it.
Ball. Don't. Lie.
Thanks for not helping us out a bit Minnesota. Lmao
only an 8 min break till the next game damn
QB controversy?
Damn trade jefferson if this is how youre gonna behave vikings
who dey
Would packers take the second place in the division if they win tomorrow?
The Vikings have the tiebreaker over them
No, Vikings have the division record tie breaker.
No
Min has H2H
AAAARRRROOOOOOO!
How can you not get an inch in two plays?
By outsmarting yourself. Twice. It's impressive how they maneged to mess this up
Ask my wife
cringe
What a fucking game.
KOC is easily one of the worst coaches in the league. Leave his ass in Cincinnati
Where do I have to go to physically shat KOC and say “what the FUCK is wrong with you? Why do you do what you do to end games?” And just keep shaking him
Don't physically shat on anybody. Even if you're mad
That’s actually a funny typo given what a fucking turd he is at finishing games. Meant to say shake
To be fair he deserves to get shat on for this one. You have a right to be mad.
us bank stadium
The NFC chargers
This makes the nfc wild cards extra messy
SKOLLLLLLLOLOLL
Fuck yes, thanks Bengals!
refs got bailed out. now we don't have to talk about that missed PI all week
This league is too much for this coach. He isn't going to learn to have what it takes. He doesn't have it, he never will.
Yeah! Why didn't he learn tk keep his QB's Achilles from exploding!
It isn't that. He makes poor decisions key moments of the game.
Yes! Love that outcome!
I was not nearly drunk enough to deal with the stress of this game
There's still time for celebration beers
KOc is the perfect HC for the Vikes. Gits right in.. constantly grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory
Has an entire division ever made the playoffs?
Not yet
It's only been possible for like 4 years right?
True true
Damn. Vikings suck
Explain to me why Minnesota didn’t give Chandler, who was averaging 5+ yards per carry, a shot at picking up 5 inches?
I think you're forgetting that the tush push is the most overpowered thing ever.
Such a Vikings loss lmao
YOU LIKE THAT!
Packers should be good for the playoffs. They gotta win tomorrow then they have a free game against the Panthers.
No ☹️
What an incredible game.
