Nothing generates a reaction quite like a primetime game and that’s especially true coming out of the 27-15 Cincinnati Bengals win over the Miami Dolphins.
The game had a little bit of everything, whether it was onlookers reacting to interesting (or maybe not-so-interesting) play-calls by Zac Taylor or just reactions to some of the star performers, such as Bengals wideout Tee Higgins.
Never mind this was the Bengals moving to 2-2, effectively saving their season.
Either way, the all-white affair that featured a repainted field and alternate white Bengals helmets generated a lot of reactions worth combing through in the immediate aftermath of the game.
Also, despite the fact that they’ve looked downright bad for stretches, they’re a long snapper injury away from being 3-1 and at the top of the conference.
They have A TON of work to do, but this win was absolutely necessary.

I don't want to be that guy that's always negative. So…pass protection has been very solid tonight. Good on the OL.

Game ends with Eli Apple forcing an incompletion to Tyreek Hill. Of course. 🤣

The #Bengals close it out over the #Dolphins, winning their second straight game since QB Joe Burrow told us to “just take a deep breath and relax. We're gonna be fine.”
Maybe he was on to something.

Joe Burrow went up to each of the offensive linemen and told them they “played f***ing awesome.” #Bengals

Impressive win for Joe Burrow & Co. on a short week against Zac Taylor

The Bengals could have very easily been 2-1 or 3-0 coming into this game, and the Dolphins could just have easily been 1-2 as 3-0.
Bengals clutched up and they hit some nice explosives, but there's clearly work to do for this offense. Defense answered the call well tonight.

Massive W. Closed it out in the end when needed. Vonn with a massive game. Tee huge all game. Joe and Jamarr there when needed. And while I don’t agree with the general play call, some huge calls by Zac on the last TD drive. WHO DEY! https://t.co/aCGKwKXssQ

The #Bengals offense has improved but there is still a lot more meat on the bone. 🍖 I’ll take back to back 27 point outings and wins.
