Fans Choice: Top 3 Bengals Games Zac era

[jj22]

Both Niners games were good. I remember rewatching Burrows big throw (Tee to start the drive),after big throw (Boyd with Bosa hanging all over him), after big brow (Chase TD) in what should have been the game winning drive. Don’t sleep on that 2021 game.

Anyways, TLL wrote the three *MOST IMPORTANT* games in the Zac Era, but not necessarily the top 3 best to watch or how the team performed.

For that (and I'll stick to the regular season, since obviously the playoff games were super-entertaining), I'll go:

@Ravens, 2021 (destroyed a completely healthy Ravens team, matching them blow for blow until the blender play)
Chefs, 2021 (didn't destroy them, but super-entertaining, between Chase's insane yards, the 3rd and 27, the penalties to extend the game, etc.)
@ 9ers, 2023 (one of the most complete games a Zac team has ever played. Garbage time yards accounted for an extra 120 yards or so, which inflate the numbers, but the whole team was clicking, in a hostile environment, against a really good {albeit declining} team)

That 3rd and 27 play, to me will go down as one of the best plays in our history. I know in my mind it is etched.

Agree, that 2021 9ers game was damm entertaining even though it ended up in favor of the bad guys. Such a good game!

Turns out 1 of those teams was in the Superbowl that year while the other just barely lost in their NFCC game.

Such a fun game that was.

The Shit Schuster Bowl will always remain a favorite of mine. That seemed to really flip the script for this team.

The Epic Stooler beat down, complete with the Hilton pick 6 and the 21 AFCCG are the other two.

The 2021 AFC championship comeback in KC was the greatest day in franchise history.

Yeah, loved the Bills Playoff game. But the AFC Championship win over the Chiefs was epic for all of us Bengals fans. Too bad we couldn't bring 
home the Lombardi afterwards damn it all.  I will put the 49ers game in here where we beat them in their place when they were about the 
best team in the NFL. Burrow under Center in that game was insane and our Defense played very good as well.
