Stephen A. reacts to the Bengals beating the Chiefs to make their 3rd Super Bowl | First Take 

he completely deserves it but as a niners fan i have to shoutout bosa as well. he was really the heartbeat of our defense given that our pass rush had to cover for our poor secondary. burrow is cpoy but bosa deserves some respect for his play as well

those awards are regular season, they can’t incorporate playoffs

Dak could win too

@@nicholasbeyer8225 🎯

@@mhj5108 Dak sucks

Raiders at they home too

I don’t! .. What is wrong with you guy? I hope they get blown out, talk about a fluke! It’s bad enough having to watch the Bengals in the Super Bowl to begin with!

@@vascainodepreciativo5272 they played in Cincinnati

@@yo3rdtier128 cry

Triggered? The Bengals have a tendency of doing that to the uneducated football fan...just ask KC, Tennessee, Vegas, Pittsburgh, Baltimore etc., Joe Burrow & that "No Name" defense are a special group that confuses those with little or no understanding of the game... WHO DEY!!!

When you see consistent 2nd half improvements through a season it's good coaches

Burrow and Chase

I SWEAR the defense does get it together in the 2nd half

Ppl calling him the Great white hope already… smh

This team plays complementary football. They trust the offense to go score points when they need to and the defense to get stops when they have to.

Edit one more time for "Irvin"

IF IT WAS LAMAR HE WOULD BE CLOWNING HIM 🤡

props to Molly hodin it down between to black dongs

Naw don’t say that. He didn’t think they could win and only gave them props because everyone else is. All these media personalities are fake .

You guys had a great season. I’m saying that and I’m a chiefs fan! I hate you guys. But man you guys played awesome this year

Cowboys fans: "You can actually win playoff games?" 👀

Browns fan (don't laugh!) with a ton of respect for the Bengals and Raiders. Nice to see other teams beside NE and PIT in the SB!

Ditto, I hate the Chiefs, go Bengals

I can't stand the Chiefs

As a bengals fan I thought it was over too because of last week but I was very gladly wrong so glad I was wrong 😂

Home fans cheering for their team? How dare they? 😂

Yeah lol, when they mentioned that no team has won back to back overtime wins in a postseason, I thought the Bengals might have a chance.

The chiefs lost because they have big heads. 2 times in red zone. Instead of just getting points they wanted to play clock ball. 5 seconds just kick the field goal. Then in overtime you don't have to throw a bomb on the first play.

I thought it was over too but once Cincy got an int I knew they were gonna win

That deffense is playing well they. Gotta do it again vs Stafford should be a good super bowl reguardless of who wins

Facts!!

Lol he got sacked 9 times vs the titans lol

@@duragvon2234 Yeah... hold that thought. That's 9 times he didn't throw a pic and this kept his team in the game.

@@emancify no he said why the the praise is only for burrow and not the oline and defense and I said that because the o line been horrible

Defense deserves major credit for holding the Chiefs in the second half.

Defense only allowed 3 points in the second half. Props to them

Bengals only scored five touchdowns in three games but are going to the Super Bowl. That says a lot not just about the kicker but the defense. Bengals' defense is a very underrated group.

BIG Props💯

Props that you put up with the bills shenanigans all these years. Major respect

It trully does i belive This is stafford time

@@roberthall1818 naw it’s burrow time.

That’s how I felt bout the NBA finals last season

Like Cp3 deserves a chip n same with Giannis too but the best player won that series

@@k1ngjamessyt I don’t really much about NBA but did it have to do with the city of milwaukee deserving one and CP3 deserving it ?

And they only rushed 3

That defense was WAY BETTER than advertised coming into the playoffs.

The defense carried them through the Playoffs not Joe Burrow. They have 5 Offensive TDs in 3 Playoff games. Held raiders to 19 points, Titans to 16 and got 4 Ints, and Chiefs to 24 and the Chiefs got 21 of those from their first 3 drives then shut down. Defense is the reason the bengals are in the Superbowl.

People are giving them credit, pretty huge to shut down mahomes

Fr mahomes had to run in circles at the end of the game couldnt throw anywhere. Secondary played solid

exactly. bengals adjusted in the 2nd half and went from a zone to man to man.

After the Chiefs first 2 possessions of the 2nd half, it was clear the Bengals D had figured something out. Huge performance from them

The D scored?

We shut em down completely, again!🐯🏈🐯🏈🐯

Yes, but remember that the Chiefs missed out on 10 possible points. At the end of the half, they had a golden opportunity to score a touchdown to make the score 28-3. Worst case scenario should have been they kick a FG to end the half 24-3. Chiefs got too cute/fancy and failed to score any points, when they should have punched it in for 7(the short toss to the side, was a bad play, maybe if the Chiefs had a good running game they could ran the ball in the endzone?)! I believe in the 3rd quarter, the Chiefs missed a 54 yard FG. In the playoffs, if your kicker has the leg and accuracy, he has to be able to put that between the uprights! Bengals made the big plays when they needed to, but the Chiefs got complacent and made some bad mistakes on 2 plays that ultimately cost them the game.

The same way the chiefs beat the bills in 13 seconds, is also the same way the chiefs lost in overtime, mahomes threw an interception in 13 seconds (14:47) as a bills fan, karmas a b****.

Not enough people saying this

That’s very true but offense was key too because they had to score the TDS to come back. As a team they were remarkable

Nobody crying about the OT rule this week. Funny.

as a browns fan, ill be completely honest, i really dont like mayfield. while yeah, he was injured a ton this season, i really just dont see that as an excuse. even though theyre instate rivals, ill be rooting for the bengals.

Because they’re doing it without a HC.

@@MidwestRainstorms definitely ! I love the sport of football in itself and just enjoy seeing good honest football. Like when we were 14-2 and lost to Tennessee 2 years ago , it sucked but they played excellent football just like when the bengals blew us out twice this year. It happens but there wasn’t any cheating. This kid is huge for cinccinati and it’s well deserved, BUT it’s gonna be tough against another well deserved team lol .

Exactly what I was thinking after we were up 21-3… super depressed rn

In a nutshell

Let's see if Joe Cool can make something out of it though. He’ll get his chance against the Rams. If you lose the SB, it really doesn't matter.

There were calls on both teams that didn’t get called. Extremely blatant calls. Refs let both teams play so i respect it. Good game for bengals. Especially defensive!

Totally agree, and I've seen this all year. Hey I know refs miss calls on all teams, but it is uncanny how many calls they miss on the Chiefs, especially when they play at home. Maybe if they had a secure tunnel out of the stadium to their cars they would start to "see" those fouls?

I believe this umpiring crew threw the least flags during the season so no surprise they let them play. There are always a handful of calls that we can question but I don't think either team gained a significant advantage from the officiating.

ROY?

I said the same. I felt the Bengals needed to plug in the holes in the OL. Now, Ja’Marr Chase for Rookie of the Year.

@BigOle O OU You we’re right they did draft Chase to make Joe happy! We just did not know what Joe knew, Mr Chase IS THAT GOOD! Who Dey!

You know damm well with how these playoffs have gone they are going Full OL during the draft no way they are picking anything out of that

That dude's been nothing short of a game wrecker. I fear he's going to be haunting this division for a long time.

Michael Ervin played the game at a high level knows what he is talking about. Steven A. is famous for being famous.

Joe is a culture changer.

Burrow is worth the hype and the coins.

Burrow and Chase

Bengals have been a 2nd half team all yesr

I’m a bengals fan and I can finally say we have something good

Nah I doubt that..but it’s nice to see them do it this year “right now”

Have one good year and all of a sudden a dynasty 🤦🏽‍♂️

@@andrerandall7873 Every dynasty starts somewhere and It's possible when he's your QB. He's a great leader and a winner

as a chiefs fan he is an amazing player I love the guy. Tom Brady Joe is coming

As a Bengals fan, it’s somewhat frustrating over this season to not see them get the credit they deserve even when they win well. Considering the margin of the comeback and the quality of team KC has been over the years, the “Did Cincy win it or did KC lose it” question is a viable question here, and while given the halftime adjustments made and the defense coming up huge when they needed to, I’m in the “Cincy won it” crowd, but the Chiefs also made some serious mistakes and should take a decent chunk of blame in the loss.

Twice in a month!!💪🐯

Chiefs didn't collapse, Cincy changed from zone to more man coverage and, as usual, the Chiefs didn't adjust.

First comment I agree with💯 Cheifs did collapse for sure but the bengals obviously had to make plays on they’re end to win so great job to them but for anyone to say that the cheifs and mahomes didn’t play incredibly terrible to help give the bengals that boost to win the game is lying. And a lot of terrible coaching calls from KC to like cmon, but playing bad football does cost games and mahomes and that coaching staff did just that, but bengals did battle and win when it’s all said and done

Not just twice in a month, but in the exact same fashion both times by being down 2+ scores at the half, changing their defensive scheme (also in the same fashion) and holding KC to three points in the second half. Yet people are blaming the Chiefs collapsing, lol. The fact is that KC was outcoached. Tough to realize for an Andy Reid team, but they were outcoached. Period. Also, they didn't just change to man coverage, they dropped 8 into coverage nearly 50% of the time in the second half, leaving Hubbard to spy. After scrambling around with nowhere to go with the pass, Hendrickson would likely be loose and Hubbard coming in from the opposite side forcing Mahomes into a sack or an inaccurate pass.

He had a clean pocket, and guys WIDE OPEN in the endzone on that 3rd down play! Yet, he refused to throw the ball! This almost makes me wonder if they lost on purpose.

Not only that but he picked the Chiefs to win. He also said Burrow going to cincy would be the worst career decision for Burrow ever.

The same spot the Bills defence collapsed vs KC the Bengals defence shown heart and prevailed

He will make that mistake again because it is Andy Reid lol. He still can't manage the clock.

With only two yards and five seconds, I would have tried a quick slant into the end zone. I just can't believe Mahomes didn't throw the ball into the end zone there.

@@joellahrman4557 Agreed. If it's not there, throw it away quick.

You clearly don’t watch Andy Reid coach football.

@@YacadaUchiha ya you would think somebody would supply him a chart or something the whole nfl is horrible at time management

Bengals D should get a lot of cred for sure! but the Chiefs have had their D choked out a lot (TB superbowl) being one recently and we've seen Mahome boy's back yard antics fail more and more as the years roll on. Burrow and Allen seem to have the right combo of being calm in the pocket, tossing the ball away on broken plays, but also can run when needed. Mahome boy keeps looking for that highlight reel.. well he's got a few now.. of him throwing interceptions.

I thought the loss in last year SB would've corrected that but apparently not

It’s clear the Chiefs didn’t learn from SB55. Bengals had to put them in their place again.

Yup, pretty much. The Bengals adjusted to take away the pass in the 2nd half and KC just kept trying to pass as if it never happened. That's all on coaching.

Yeah, without the Bengals defense stepping up and punching back, the offense can only watch. That defense just punched KC in the mouth.

@@shawnpatrick1877 I just don’t see it that way. Andy Dalton fell off a cliff and what was he supposed to do? It’s not like Zac Taylor did anything his first year or Burrows rookie year. Zac is a offensive guy and Lewis is a defensive guy. Cincy defense is the same as when Lewis left. The bengals added pass rushers because they had next to none last year. Burrow is better then Dalton. I just feel like the same results would happen with Lewis. I honestly feel like the Bengals would be better with Lewis.

I wouldn't be excited to see that if i was a Raven🤣

@@thedarknate08 lol why not ? I love competition! It would be boring if we always blew threw our conference. Plus, Cincinnati deserves to not suck anymore 😅

And the best part. No more rapists

@@chrisschavel8130 that was never proven and it was just some bs that the media put out! You must be a dempcratic supporter because it sounds like you will believe anything they tell you

Lmao….. yeah i choose to form my own opinion and common sense says it probably happened

*GREETINGS EVERYONE SORRY IM LATE, I HAD A BUSY BORING BUT NOW THAT IM FINALLY HERE I JUST WANTED TO SAY THE CRUFFS ARE HOT WET DUNG AND PATRICK DOODOODUNGHOMES IS THE WORST QB IN THE ENTIRE NFL AND WILL FINISH 0-17 NEXT YEAR AFTER LOSING TO THE BENGALS*

I think the bills defense should be so embarrassed,they have something to prove next year to me as a bills fan

He wasn’t that good. But through hard work he’s where he’s at! Great story

urban meyer played favorites

@@stephonaugustin1384 he was good. That’s why he left to LSU. Meyer plays favorites. Are you blind?

@@MrCocoMocoLoco2 I know he was great. All I’m saying is unlike a lot of guys who would quit he used it as motivation 💯💯

Contract is a win/win , it doesn’t get any higher for 10 years bro think about that, he getting paid as much as all the other top QB’s this isn’t anything they didn’t for see

@@zod548 They will be paying him 30 million plus next year and after that 40 million plus not to mention what hill and kelce will get so yeah good luck fielding a competitive team around those kind of salaries not that it matters because the league is starting to figure them out.

@@projectblue6624 literally every team with a good qb goes through that, the salary cap is a myth man

@@projectblue6624 it’s like you’ve just started watching the sport , rookie contracts don’t last for ever

@@zod548 Chiefs will end up just like Seattle overpaid their Qb and going forward more pieces from that team they will not be able to pay for I hope they enjoyed that one superbowl because like the Seahawks won't be seeing another one for awhile.

Credit goes to the Defense tho, with experience Mahomes should have delivered anyways

I’ve Been saying Joe Burrow is the next Brady.

They both stepped up. They couldnt score until they adjusted. The chiefs stopped scoring after def adjusted. Definition of full team effort
