Sports clichés, you've gotta love'em. Paul shares this affection for trite remarks, especially this gem: is this a must-win game? He and Jay entertain the notion that this Sunday is vital for Cincinnati. Is this weekend really that important? What could be the fallout from a loss? The duo revisit the it's-time-to-part-ways-with-Geno-Atkins discourse before Cincy's divisional bout. The Athletic's Cleveland Browns chronicler, Zac Jackson, joins Paul and Jay to preview Sunday's AFC North squabble. Is Baker Mayfield Cleveland's quarterback of the future? Why should we believe the Bengals can beat the Browns? With Cleveland's loss of Nick Chubb in mind, is this squad's ground attack still as potent? Since their last meeting, how has Kevin Stefanski's defense performed and how will his crew approach Cincinnati? Jay dug deep and researched with heart (callback to the sports clichés #FunGuy) to find playoff stats that may elevate concern among fans in the Dawg Pound. When he's not scrambling for his life, Joe Burrow has been really good. So good, in fact, that if he slings the ball to the tune of at least 300-yards this against Cleveland, he'll be in some heady company. Lastly, Paul is tired of shelling out 'free' beers, so he and Jay have concocted a doozy of a Growler bet.
