Following the Cincinnati Bengals 34-14 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Dave Lapham joined Dave Berk, In The Trenches, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss the impressive win that has the Bengals back in the playoff hunt after the season-ending injury to Joe Burrow.
Following up from Monday's overtime win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, quarterback Jake Browning again showed why the Bengals coaching staff felt confident in his abilities to run the offense and put the Bengals in a position to win.
Hitting on over 75% of his passes, Browning would throw for 275 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for a score. He also saw rookie Chase Brown team with Joe Mixon to provide a one-two punch running and catching the ball.
Add in another top performance by Lou Anarumo's defense that sacked Gardner Minshew three times, and the Bengals look strong as they enter the season's final four weeks.
Now 7-6 on the season, Lapham and Berk talk about the game and Saturday's upcoming opponent, the Minnesota Vikings, who won a 3-0 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday as they continue to play without their starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins.

Former Bengal Solomon Wilcots joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the disappointing Week 12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and to preview the Bengal's upcoming MNF matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Soly and Lap talk about the Bengals' defensive struggles and how they can improve to keep the Bengals in the playoff hunt.
The Bengals chances are not looking great after dropping another divisional game against the Steelers and making their conference record 1-6 heading into another AFC game against the AFC South-leading Jaguars.
It is another must-win for the Bengals but with Jake Browing under center it will be tough for the Bengals to pull off a run and make the playoffs. We will see if Zac Taylor and company can pull off a big-time win on Monday night verse one of the best teams in the AFC.

Cincinnati Bengals DC Lou Anarumo | Bengals Defense Must be Better For Us to Win
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Cincinnati Bengals defense coordinator Lou Anarumo joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and to preview their MNF matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was another tough performance for Lou Anarumo's defense letting the Steelers put up over 400 yards of offense and letting Kenny Pickett have his best game of the season.
As always there were bright spots though, even with the Steelers putting up over 400 yards the Bengals' defense held them to just 16 points. The defense held the Steelers to just one touchdown in four red zone trips and even forced a key turnover in the first quarter.
But sadly it wasn't enough as the Bengals dropped their third game in a row and fell to 5-6 on the season. With Jake Browning at the helm for the offense the Bengals defense will need to step up if this team wants to remain in the playoff picture for the 2023 season.

No game is won or lost on one play, but the lack of a successful running attack didn't help Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning in his first career start against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Browning was not great but played solidly in his first NFL start, passing for 227 yards on 19 of 26 passes with one touchdown. But it will be his biggest mistake, an interception on third down from the Steelers' 18 fans, along with Browning will remember most about the final outcome in the 16-10 AFC North loss.
The offense had other issues, as they could not find a way to get Joe Mixon going with the veteran running back, who only got eight carries for 16 yards on the day.
Not all issues were on the offense, as the defense gave up 421 total yards of offense, the first time the Steelers offense posted over 400 yards after a 58-game drought. Kenny Pickett didn't throw a touchdown pass on the day despite going 24 of 33 for 278 yards and hitting tight end Pat Freiermuth for a game-high nine receptions for 120 yards. While the Bengals struggled running the ball, the tandem of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren had no such issues, with a combined 28 carries for 148 yards and a touchdown by Harris.
The Bengals now stand at 5-6 on the season with only one win in the AFC and none in the AFC North. Next will be the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road for a Monday Night Football match-up.

Cincinnati Bengals DC Lou Anarumo | Beat The Steelers No Matter What
Wednesday Nov 22, 2023
Wednesday Nov 22, 2023
Cincinnati Bengals defense coordinator Lou Anarumo joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals' upcoming matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With Joe Burrow being sidelined for the rest of the season, Lou and his defense will have to up their game, especially in their matchup this week.
This week's game against the Steelers is a must-win if the Bengals have any hope of making the playoffs. With Jake Browning starting for the Bengals, the thought is the game will be a low-scoring affair putting a lot of pressure on the defense
But Lou is ready for the challenge and the defense should be getting a huge boost with Sam Hubbard returning from injury. The Steelers did fire their offensive coordinator today so it will be interesting to see if the Steelers' offense changes with a new play-caller.
We want to thank Lou for always being a fantastic guest and for joining us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics.

Dave Lapham Postgame Call | Joe Burrow’s Injury - Bengals Fall To Ravens
Friday Nov 17, 2023
Friday Nov 17, 2023
Things started off strong for the Cincinnati Bengals in their pursuit of winning their sixth game of the season and first in the AFC North when they took a 10-7 lead over the Baltimore Ravens with 5:49 left in the first half.
However, just seconds later, fans, coaches, and teammates quickly saw Burrow clutching his right hand/wrist, and soon, everyone would see the Bengals franchise quarterback grimace in pain and fail to be able to throw a practice toss on the sidelines.
With Burrow running into the locker room, all eyes turned to backup Jake Browning, who would be playing in only the second NFL game of his career.
The Ravens' defense had placed pressure on Burrow and increased their pressure, with Browning now behind center.
At the same time, Lamar Jackson was getting help from his running game, receivers, and official calls against the Bengals, as they turned the score around while posting 405 yards of offense, with Jackson going 16-of-26 for 264 yards in the air with two touchdowns and Gus Edwards adding 62 yards on the ground with two scores. Add in the first 100-yard receiving performance by Odell Beckham Jr. since the 2021 season, and things looked bleak for the Bengals overall.
Browning was serviceable, going 8-of-14 for 68 yards and a touchdown toss to Ja'Marr Chase late in the game, and Joe Mixon would carry 16 times for 69 yards and a 4.3 yards per carry average while also adding 31 yards receiving on five catches, including a touchdown.
But in the end, all eyes and questions surrounded Burrow and how bad the injury will be going forward. While Burrow was not the only Bengals player to go down on the night, he is the straw that stirs the Bengals' offensive drink, and as everyone saw at the start of the season, without a healthy Joe Burrow, the Bengals have yet to show they can be a team to consider one of the top in the NFL.
Dave Lapham joined Dave Berk in a special postgame call following the game to give his opinion on Burrow's injury, the team's performance, and the direction the Bengals will need to go if they want a chance to make the playoffs in 2023.
