Mike Tomlin wins games he shouldn’t and loses games he shouldn’t. Last night was really embarrassing. Been there 4th 4 times and gave free points to Cleveland.

Among other things tonight, Fields’ third-down call and throw was atrocious, followed by an even worse 15-yard punt.

The Chiefs lost to the Broncos and Raiders last year – good teams sometimes lose to bad teams. It’s the NFL. You can panic if Cincinnati smokes us by then, relax 8-3 and in first place.
