“I am in rage mode right now and should delete Instagram,” she said. “I just want people to know how hard this is to watch. My husband went work on Monday at 5:15 am. Spent the night at the stadium. Came home Tuesday at 11pm. Left for Baltimore Wednesday and will get home at 4 am. Tomorrow. He’ll work all day tomorrow bc they have a game Sunday.
“My kids haven’t seen him since Sunday. He had the perfect game plan. Brooks was mad at me for watching the last play wihj my head under the covers and I said I’m sorry people will say stuff to me everywhere I go for the next week and he said ‘me too mom get over it.’ I don’t know how these coaches and players do it but the best thing I can do is move on like them.”

Bengals fans were in an outrage after the Ravens managed to beat the team by a single point in a nail-biting Thursday Night Football showdown. The two Ravens penalties missed by officials on Cincinnati’s two-point attempt in the final seconds of the game also added fuel to the fire.

Joe Burrow now has nine touchdowns with 820 yards in both meetings with Baltimore this season. Ja’Marr Chase recorded 264 yards in Thursday’s thriller and yet the Bengals still lost to the Ravens.
“It’s sickening,” Taylor said postgame of the heartbreaking loss.
Taylor’s wife also shared the same feeling; however, more so because of what Cincinnati fans would do to her and her family. Although the game was certainly frustrating to watch for Bengals fans, it’s evident Sarah is fed up with the way people have chosen to treat her and her kids in their everyday lives.
Nevertheless, the Bengals head coach explained the team has some soul searching to do as Cincinnati fell short when the lights were brightest.
“We’ve got to figure that out,” Taylor said via the team transcript. “We’ve got to find a way to close out these games. We had our opportunity. We got down there, went for two, and it just didn’t work out for us. This team is going to continue to put us in good positions, there’s going to be a point in the season where that turns. We will respond the right way from this game. We’ve got a one game season next week against the Chargers before the bye. We will get our bodies right and get ready to go fight them.”
