They might not get that chance. He was benched for Nick Mullens in the 4th Quarter yesterday. Mullens may get the start on Sat.

Vikings may be without Justin Jefferson again, which will be quite a gift to the Bengals D. He got cracked in the ribs and left the game yesterday in the 2nd Q.

It was announced yesterday by the Vikings that Nick Mullens will be their starting QB for their game at Cincinnati on Saturday.

Justin Jefferson WR  who came back from a hamstring injury that had put him for several games came back last Sunday vs. the Raiders but was knocked out the game less than 15 plays in with a chest injury. The Vikings announced today that he will play vs. the Bengals on Saturday.

We didn't really get to see Jefferson the last time the Vikings came to Cincinnati, I'm glad he will be on the field this time.

They blew him up for a couple weeks. Fell quick and hard.

Basically round 3 of the playoffs for the Bengals today. I think one loss the rest of the way knocks them out of the playoffs. The Bengals lose the tiebreakers in almost every matchup so must win every week.

The Vikings won the toss and deferred and Bengals will get the ball to start.

A screen to Brown for a first down covers another drop by Higgins.

I thought that could have had a roughing the passer tacked onto the Chase completion. I have seen it called with a lot less than that hit plus he fell with all of his weight on Browning as well.

Good first drive, too bad it ended in a FG.
