It's the invasion of the dairy lovers (with heads adorned with cultured dairy products)! Paul and Jay chat Bengals-Packers and contemplate the Bengals' position with either a 3-2, or 4-1 record.

Is Burrow comfortable in the pocket; Bengals-Heinz Field stats & Steelers showdown w/ Mark Kaboly 23.09.2021

Though only two games into the young NFL season, Paul and Jay have wondered just how comfortable Joe Burrow actually is in the pocket.
