Jethro's BBQ Reaction Monday.
On Off The Bench and The Stone Shields Show today we discuss the Bengals improving to 2-0 but losing star QB Joe Burrow to a toe injury in the process. Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! In the electrifying chaos of Week 2's NFL showdown on September 14, 2025, at Paycor Stadium, the Cincinnati Bengals clawed to a thrilling 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking their first 2-0 start under head coach Zac Taylor since 2018. But the triumph was bittersweet, overshadowed by a devastating injury to star quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow, the Bengals' franchise cornerstone and reigning Comeback Player of the Year after a stellar 2024 rebound from wrist surgery, dazzled early. He completed 7 of 13 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown, including a sharp 4-yard slant to Ja'Marr Chase in the first quarter. The offense hummed, with Chase erupting for 14 receptions and 165 yards—his best outing since the prior season. Yet, midway through the second quarter, disaster struck. On a second-down sack by Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead, Burrow's left cleat caught the turf awkwardly, hyperextending his big toe. He crumpled, clutching his ankle initially, before trainers zeroed in on the foot. Helped off the field and into the medical tent, Burrow underwent an immediate MRI, emerging on a one-legged scooter, unable to bear weight. Diagnosed with turf toe—potentially a severe Grade 3 tear involving ligaments—the injury could sideline him for multiple weeks, or worse, up to three months if surgery is required. Images were rushed to renowned foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, with reports indicating non-surgical options are fading. Burrow was spotted postgame in a walking boot and on crutches, a gut punch for a QB whose career has been plagued by setbacks: a rookie-year ACL rupture in 2020, a 2023 wrist fracture, and nagging knee strains. Enter backup Jake Browning, the steady veteran who went 4-3 in Burrow's 2023 absence. Thrust into the fray with Cincinnati trailing 17-10 at halftime, Browning shook off early jitters—throwing three interceptions, including two picks forced by Bengals defenders Jordan Battle and Dax Hill on Trevor Lawrence. Yet, he steadied, finishing 21-of-32 for 241 yards and two scores. The game-winner? A masterful 93-yard, 15-play drive capped by Browning's 1-yard sneak with 18 seconds left, aided by a pass-interference call on Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter. Lawrence, meanwhile, torched the secondary for 294 yards and three TDs but faltered with two costly picks, dropping Jacksonville to 1-1.

Off The Bench is BACK! The Cincinnati Bengals face a daunting 2025 NFL schedule, with seven games against 2024 playoff teams, including tough road matchups against the Vikings, Broncos, Packers, Ravens, and Bills. A particularly brutal stretch from Weeks 3-7 pits them against Minnesota, Denver, Detroit, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh, with three road games. Later, Weeks 13-16 include back-to-back Ravens games sandwiching a trip to Buffalo, testing their mettle in the AFC North gauntlet. With a 9-8 record in 2024 and no playoff appearance, navigating this schedule is critical for Joe Burrow and company to reclaim contender status. Their defense, which showed promise in a 17-16 Week 1 win over Cleveland, must hold up against elite offenses to avoid another postseason miss. Beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 at home is pivotal. After a shaky offensive showing (141 passing yards), the Bengals need Burrow to sync with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins against a Jaguars defense that struggled against the run in Week 1. A win improves their early record to 2-0, crucial for momentum before their brutal midseason stretch. It also sets a tone against a non-playoff opponent, avoiding the slow starts that have plagued Cincinnati (1-7 in Weeks 1-2 since 2019). Losing could amplify doubts about their offensive line and run game, risking a slide against tougher foes. On September 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds secured a crucial 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, keeping their NL wild card hopes alive. Zack Littell pitched effectively, while the Reds' offense erupted for three home runs, including a clutch two-run shot by Tyler Stephenson in the ninth to seal the win. TJ Friedl and Austin Hays also went deep, powering Cincinnati to a 73-72 record, two games behind the Padres for the final wild card spot. Despite a strong outing from Padres' starter Michael King, Robert Suarez's ninth-inning collapse cost San Diego, now 79-66. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Off The Bench is BACK! In a gritty 17-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns on September 7, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals leaned heavily on their defense to secure their first Week 1 win since 2021, despite a sluggish offensive showing. Rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart, the Bengals' first-round pick, made an immediate impact in his NFL debut, showcasing the athleticism that justified his high draft stock. Stewart helped generate a crucial red-zone sack by converging on Browns quarterback Joe Flacco alongside Trey Hendrickson, collapsing the pocket on a third-down play late in the fourth quarter to seal the win. His poise under pressure earned high praise, with Pro Football Focus awarding him a strong rookie grade for his disruptive presence, including a batted pass (later nullified by a flag). After overcoming a contentious holdout and fan skepticism during training camp—where he even accidentally clipped Burrow in practice—Stewart's performance flipped the narrative, proving his value on the edge. Quarterback Joe Burrow, returning from injury concerns, struggled mightily, completing just 14 of 23 passes for a career-low 113 yards and one touchdown. The offense managed only 141 total yards, with a dismal seven yards in the second half, marred by three-and-outs and early-season rust typical of Zac Taylor's teams. Yet Burrow remained optimistic postgame, noting, "We found a way to win. We didn't win any of these games last year, and so usually when you can win a game like this, that's a recipe for success." His leadership as a team captain alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins underscored the Bengals' resilience. Head coach Zac Taylor, entering his seventh season with a historically poor 1-11 record in the first two weeks, celebrated the disciplined effort. "I'm proud of them. The best outcome of this game is 1-0. Forget about the stats," Taylor said, crediting new defensive coordinator Al Golden's unit for limiting Flacco to two interceptions and holding Cleveland to 16 points. Taylor highlighted the rookies' calmness, including Stewart, in a game that tested the team's depth amid injuries. This ugly win signals potential growth, blending Burrow's grit, Stewart's promise, and Taylor's steady hand for a playoff push. In a heartbreaker at Petco Park, the Cincinnati Reds fell 4-3 to the San Diego Padres in 10 innings on September 8, 2025, dealing a blow to their fading wild-card hopes. The Reds jumped to a 3-0 lead against Yu Darvish, powered by TJ Friedl's leadoff homer, Elly De La Cruz's RBI single, and Austin Hays' solo shot. Starter Nick Lodolo delivered a strong outing, but Jackson Merrill's two-run triple in the sixth tied it. The game stayed knotted until the 10th, where reliever Nick Martinez's throwing error on a bunt advanced automatic runner Jake Cronenworth to third. Fernando Tatis Jr. then lofted a sacrifice fly for the walk-off win, his seventh of the season. The loss drops Cincinnati to 72-72, while San Diego (79-65) clings to the NL's second wild-card spot, three games ahead of the Mets. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Off The Bench is BACK! Join the crew for all the reaction and hot takes to the Cincinnati Bengals win over the Browns and Week 1 of the NFL season. Cincinnati Bengals Edge Cleveland Browns in Week 1 Thriller In a gritty AFC North showdown, the Cincinnati Bengals narrowly defeated the Cleveland Browns 17-16 on September 7, 2025, at Huntington Bank Field, kicking off their season with a crucial 1-0 record. The Bengals, fueled by comments from Browns' receiver Jerry Jeudy, relied on a strong first half led by quarterback Joe Burrow and running back Chase Brown. Burrow orchestrated a methodical opening drive, throwing for 113 yards and a touchdown, while Brown paced the ground game, helping Cincinnati build a 14-point lead. However, the offense struggled in the second half, managing just 2 net yards and one first down across their final four drives, totaling minus-23 yards. The Bengals' defense stepped up, securing two critical interceptions off dropped passes by Cleveland's receivers, halting potential go-ahead scores. A missed extra point and a failed field goal attempt by Browns' rookie kicker Andre Szmyt in the fourth quarter sealed Cleveland's fate. Despite outgaining Cincinnati 327 to 141 yards, the Browns couldn't capitalize, dropping to 0-1. This win marked the Bengals' first Week 1 victory since 2021, breaking a trend of slow starts under coach Zac Taylor, who emphasized the importance of starting 1-0 in the division. Cincinnati Reds Rally to Beat New York Mets The Cincinnati Reds staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the New York Mets 6-5 on September 7, 2025, at Great American Ball Park, improving their record to 72-71. Trailing 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth, the Reds capitalized on a Mets' bullpen collapse. With two outs, Will Benson delivered a walk-off single, capping a rally sparked by a series of clutch hits and Mets' defensive miscues. Reds' starting pitchers Nick Martinez, Andrew Abbott, and Nick Lodolo had previously excelled against the Padres in July, and their depth was evident here. Despite a challenging 2-12 record in their last 14 games in San Diego, the Reds showed resilience against a strong Mets squad. This victory highlighted their ability to compete against top National League teams, boosting their momentum as they vie for a wild card spot, though they trail the Padres by 6.0 games. The Reds' .248 batting average and 93 stolen bases rank them mid-tier in MLB, but their fightback spirit could prove vital in the season's final stretch. Top NFL Storylines from Week 1, 2025 Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season delivered compelling narratives across the league, setting the tone for an unpredictable year. Here are five key storylines: Bengals Overcome Slow-Start Narrative: The Bengals' 17-16 win over the Browns was a statement against their historical Week 1 struggles (1-5 under Zac Taylor). Joe Burrow's leadership and defensive opportunism, including two interceptions, silenced doubters, though their second-half offensive collapse (2 net yards) raises concerns about consistency. Aaron Rodgers' Steelers Debut: In a dramatic 34-32 victory over the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, showcased his enduring talent. Despite a turbulent Jets tenure, Rodgers led a comeback, exploiting a fumble and a late 68-yard touchdown drive. His performance underscored his quest for one last playoff run at age 41. Browns' Offensive Woes Persist: Cleveland's loss to Cincinnati highlighted ongoing offensive struggles. Despite a robust defense holding the Bengals to 141 yards, Joe Flacco's receivers dropped four catchable passes, two leading to interceptions, and rookie kicker Andre Szmyt missed critical kicks. The Browns' 3-14 record last season looms large as they navigate a soft roster reset. Daniel Jones Revitalized with Colts: In a 33-8 rout of the Miami Dolphins, Daniel Jones, now starting for the Indianapolis Colts, looked rejuvenated under new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. The Colts' defense, featuring exotic pressure packages, stifled Miami, holding them to under 100 yards until late in the third quarter. Jones' steady play signals playoff potential for Indianapolis. Micah Parsons' Packers Impact: Traded to the Green Bay Packers before Week 1, Micah Parsons made an immediate impact in a 27-13 win over the Detroit Lions, despite playing only 29 snaps. His pressure on Jared Goff, including a sack and aiding an interception, showcased his value to an already stout defense, though his back injury raises durability questions. On September 6, 2025, the Cincinnati Bearcats defeated the Bowling Green Falcons 34-20 at Nippert Stadium, securing their first win of the season (1-1). QB Brendan Sorsby threw for 333 yards and three TDs, including two to Cyrus Allen, and ran for another. The Bearcats overcame a 0-4 historical deficit against BGSU, with their defense notching four sacks to hand new Falcons coach Eddie George his first FBS loss.
