CJ: I wouldn’t say it was that much of a shock for people following the team. We’ve been seemingly shouting into a chorus of doubters about under the radar moves that have improved this team. It is just a matter of Cincinnati being an easy target ever since the iffseason we had to endure the constant takes of how Joe Burrow should’ve refused to come here.
The keys to winning though were the defensive line, which absolutely destroyed the Vikings interior offensive line. It seemed like the downs where Kirk Cousins wasn’t getting pressured that the offensive line was at least called for a hold.
