Brian opens the pod by comparing Drake Maye’s career with the start of Joe Burrow’s, which included a trip to the Super Bowl in his second season with the Bengals (0:45). Then, Brian chats with the radio voice of the Bengals, Dan Hoard about the upcoming Patriots-Bengals game, the Bengals’ terrible defense, what Ja’Marr Chase’s suspension means for the game, and why the Bengals have been unable to capitalize on Joe Burrow’s greatness in recent years (26:15). Brian and Jamie end with their best bets for Week 12 (47:00).
