Mike Brown missed the Bengals' first playoff win due to covid.

Lots of interesting stuff in this interview with Mike Brown. It makes me sad that he could not attend the first playoff win during his ownership (as he was home with a mild case of Covid).

Some interesting quotes:

"I build up an anxiety as we get toward the games. If we win, it lifts a weight off me that I can physically feel. The burden is hard to convey. I’ve wanted to succeed so badly," said Brown.

"I want it to be right," said Brown. "I want a winning team. In all honesty, my goal in life would be to have a dominant team. I lived through that with my father’s teams in Cleveland. Unfortunately, we ran into Pittsburgh and they dominated for a couple decades."

"I’ve never seen anyone as intense as Joe. He reminds me of Peyton" Manning. "He was on top of the game. You always felt he was a step ahead. Joe has some of that. And he has made us believe."
