MACKENZIE SALMON: This league is a war of attrition.
Teams that can survive, it will be the real contenders.
Time to overreact to week 13.
Over in the AFC, it's official.
The Bengals have the Chiefs number.
If there is anyone that can crash the Kansas City
Buffalo playoff clash, it's the Cincinnati
Bengals and Joe Burrow.
Joey B straight of Abdul Mahomes for the third straight time.
It's time, yet again, to put some respect
on the Bengals name.
They're contenders.
In the AFC, it's starting to feel
like Cincy, Buffalo, KC, and then everyone else,
all of which have red flags.
First, let's go down the list.
The Titans got walloped by Philly.
Can't trust them ever.
The Dolphins got out coached and outplayed in the Bay Area.
How can you be a Super Bowl contender when
you lose to Mr. Irrelevant?
Not pretty at all.
Tua is re-injuring his ankle, add salt in the wound.
And speaking of injuries, Lamar Jackson's knee
could derail the Ravens season.
But let's be real.
It wasn't like Baltimore's offense
was firing on all cylinders with a healthy Lamar.
Nervous time for the Ravens.
The Jets and Mike White showed a lot of heart
in their loss in Minny, but the schedule
doesn't get any easier.
Their hold on the seven seed is hanging on by a thread.
Thankfully, for the Jets, though,
team may be more inconsistent or untrustworthy than LA.
So don't look now.
The Raiders are not dead yet.
They won three straight and have three
very winnable games coming up.
The demise of Josh McDaniels needs
to be put on hold for now.
Let's face it, though.
Deshaun Watson's return for Cleveland, reeked of cringe.
But sticking with on the field, the team
really did win in spite of his play in Houston.
And like Vegas at five and seven, they have life as well.
