Mina Kimes’ Wild Dallas Cowboys Shirt Goes Viral

Mina Kimes has quietly become one of the most notable NFL sports media personalities around over the past year.

Because of that, when Netflix decided to enter the arena and host a game on Christmas Day, Kimes was prominently featured.

Ultimately Kimes was overshadowed by Kay Adams’ inappropriate outfit to the event, but she still found a way to make headlines in her own way.

On the heels of that, Kimes found herself trending this weekend over her special Dallas Cowboys shirt.

It proved to be a huge hit on social media:

“Is Jerry Jones doing the voice of Mr. Burns? That would be a perfect match,” another person added.

Mina Kimes Names NFL’s Most Disappointing Team In 2024

This week Kimes discussed the most disappointing team in the NFL this year. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t the Cowboys.

“I’ll probably go the Cincinnati Bengals there,” Kimes said she said.

“And I said this before, but I really believe if the Bengals were in a different city, like, I don’t know if they were the Jets or something, there would be a bigger outcry over this season from Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase being wasted on offense.

“I believe it’s close to historically unprecedented, right? Like what they’re doing respective to the team’s win record. But throw out the stats when you watch every week. It is jarring to me, the ways in which this defense has let them down.”

The Bengals have faced a tumultuous 2024 NFL season, falling short of the lofty expectations set for them. With a 6-8 record as of late December, the team’s playoff hopes hang by a thread, clinging to a mere six percent chance of securing a Wild Card spot.

Joe Burrow’s performance has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing year. The quarterback set a new franchise record, showcasing his talents despite the team’s struggles. However, Burrow’s individual success has not been enough to overcome the Bengals’ broader challenges.

Defensively, Cincinnati has struggled mightily. The team allocated nearly 24% of its salary cap to the defensive line, a figure significantly higher than any other NFL team. This substantial investment has yielded limited returns, with Trey Hendrickson’s All-Pro caliber season standing as a lone bright spot.

“And it’s a defense that clearly has not been built well, and they’ve thrown resources, it’s a very expensive defensive line, and they have drafted and they have continuously tried to address it, and it’s been an obvious failure, not just this year but going forward. I don’t look at this defense and see like cornerstones per se, and I really feel like the front office deserves so much more heat for that than they’ve been getting—because it’s been such an unbelievable let down this year,” Kimes noted.

The Bengals’ defensive woes extend beyond the line. The unit as a whole has consistently let the team down, failing to provide adequate support for the offense. This imbalance has put immense pressure on Burrow and star receiver Ja’Marr Chase to carry the team.

Injuries have played a role in Cincinnati’s disappointing campaign. Sheldon Rankins dealt with an unexpected illness, impacting the team’s depth and performance. These setbacks have highlighted the fragility of the Bengals’ roster construction.

The offensive line, a perennial concern for Cincinnati, has continued to be a point of focus. Despite efforts to improve protection for Burrow, inconsistencies have persisted, affecting the team’s offensive output.

In the competitive AFC North, the Bengals have struggled to keep pace with their divisional rivals. Their 0-2 start to the season put them in an early hole from which they’ve struggled to climb out.

Head coach Zac Taylor faces mounting pressure as the team underperforms. Questions about his ability to maximize the talent on the roster have grown louder as the season has progressed.

The future of key players like Tee Higgins remains uncertain. With free agency looming, the Bengals must make crucial decisions about retaining talent while addressing glaring weaknesses.

Despite the disappointments, there have been moments of excitement for Bengals fans. The team has shown flashes of its potential, particularly in high-stakes games against divisional opponents.

Looking ahead, Cincinnati faces critical questions about its roster construction and coaching strategy. The front office will need to reevaluate its approach, particularly on defense, to avoid wasting the prime years of stars like Burrow and Chase.

The 2024 season serves as a stark reminder of the fine line between success and failure in the NFL. For the Bengals, it’s a call to action to address systemic issues and return to the form that made them AFC contenders in recent years.
