NFL Bengals vs. Commanders: A Game for the History Books
Last night something happened in the NFL that hasn’t happened since 1940! For the first time in over 80 years, a game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Washington Commanders ended with ZERO turnovers and ZERO punts! So rare that it sent shockwaves through football fans everywhere.
In a league and game where turnovers and punts are almost inevitable, watching the game go so flawlessly on both ends was like watching history in real time… I guess because it is like history. The discipline the guys showed, and the offensive battle that was seen was nothing short of amazing. Both teams were locked in, clearly. Moving the ball looked easy for both teams. The defense held their ground without giving up any turnovers, and the punters just got to chill on the sideline the whole game and still got paid. It was not a bad day at the office. Am I right?
What makes the stat even more mind-blowing is how rare it is for an NFL game to have not a single turnover and not have to punt the ball away. Football fans know how unpredictable football can be and how week to week you never know what is going to happen. Interceptions, fumbles, turning the ball over and punts are part of the game so when it doesn’t happen it’s wild.
Being a huge football fan and a football mom, it wasn’t just a NFL Monday Night game it was history! It’s cool when we will be able to tell our grandkids I was watching when. To put it in perspective the first NFL game televised was on NBC in 1939 and this happened the next year. This goes to show how many cool things happen in sports.
In a season already full of storylines, this game will certainly stand out. Not only was it an incredible show of talent, but it will also serve as a game for the record books. A rare game that football fans will talk about for years to come.
The 5 Sexiest Players In Super Bowl LVIII
1. Brock Purdy
Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers speaks to the media during Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night at Allegiant Stadium on February 05, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It feels like the quarterback always gets the girl, right? And that rings true with a few girls in the office. According to them, they think Brock has that “boy next door” look that they’re into.
Purdy, who wears Taylor Swift’s lucky number (13), was asked if he’s ready to disappoint the pop star. Purdy didn’t hesitate. He answered with one word, “Yes.”
2. Travis Kelce
Since we already brought up Taylor Swift, it’s only logical that her hunky boyfriend makes this list. Not only is Travis one of the best players to ever play his position, he just seems like a genuinely decent guy! The podcast he does with his brother has skyrocketed in popularity since his relationship with Taylor became public, and he’s really good behind the mic!
When his playing days are over, he’s set to have a really promising career in broadcasting.
After Taylor’s most recent Grammy win, Travis said he’d like to bring home ‘“some hardware too.”
3. Christian McCaffrey
Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers speaks to the media during Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night at Allegiant Stadium.
At running back, for the 49ers, Christian is one of the most exciting players to watch every week. He’s explosive. He’s strong. And he’s so fast! All of those reasons are why he led the league in yards at his position. This will be his first Super Bowl and he’s hoping to make it one that he’ll remember for all the right reasons.
4. Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs speaks to the media during Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night at Allegiant Stadium.
Again, ladies love quarterbacks!
Patrick Mahomes has been getting some jokes slung in his direction for having a “dad bod,” but that’s one of the reasons the girls in the office love him! Besides, Mahomes had the perfect response to the haters. He said he’d rather have another Super Bowl ring than a six pack! Haha! I love it!
I also love the fact that I, a guy with a dad bod, can say that I’m built like a Super Bowl champion!
5. Nick Bosa
Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers warms up prior to their game against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game at Levi’s Stadium on January 19, 2020 in Santa Clara, California.
When I showed a picture of Nick Bosa to the girls in the office, I heard a couple of them go “Mmmmm!”
The guy is “built like a superhero.” One of them said. Another one said, “Oh, I know which jersey I’ll be buying tonight!”
“I guess he’s okay…” one joked, before admitting that he’s her celebrity crush.
Bosa, who lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV, will absolutely be looking to get his revenge this Sunday at Allegiant.
