Gauntlet Gear-Up, Bengals' Deep Ball Blues & O-line Inefficiency Formula Results!

Cincinnati were only a few plays away from being an above-.500 ball club, but logging their first win of the season Sunday lifted spirts high. The Bengals will need that confidence and focused play ahead of the gauntlet their about to face. The Ravens, Colts, Titans, Browns and Steelers await the Orange Stripes in a five-week course on winning football. The guys zero in on the matchups and RPB Cincinnati's record on the other side of this month-plus-long battle. Keeping Cincy's victory in mind but acknowledging their weaknesses, many of which have been highlighted on this show, one that stood out to Paul and Jay was the team's trouble locating the deep ball. Why does the club struggle in this area? How can they improve? Jay intends to repay all of those who took his tie stat from last week to heart...right, Jay? Jay? Plus, the duo look back at the results of last week's Growler bet, the offensive line inefficiency formula! Oh, and how could I forget, there was an pseudo-Arby's sandwich ranking!Rundown:(3:00) The Gauntlet(16:15) RBP: Gauntlet Record(19:45) Zac Taylor on Expectations(23:00) Deep Ball Blues(33:30) Tie Stat & Growler RecapFollow Paul on Twitter: @pauldehnerjrFollow Jay on Twitter: @JayMorrisonATHJoin The Athletic for just $1 a month!
