Postgame Report: Bengals Lose to Patriots in ANOTHER Winnable Game
The Cincinnati Bengals dropped their fourth straight game, losing 26–20 to the Patriots in a matchup that was there for the taking. Cincinnati jumped out to a 10–0 lead thanks to a Geno Stone pick-six and a strong defensive start, but costly mistakes from Joe Flacco, missed opportunities, and injuries derailed the game plan. Chase Brown delivered a strong performance, and the defense produced multiple goal-line stands, but it still wasn’t enough. Plus, was the decision to keep Joe Burrow out another week the right one?
James Rapien breaks down the turning points, the defensive improvements, the offensive struggles, the injuries to Tee Higgins and Andre Iosivas, and where the Bengals go from here at 3–8.
The Bengals play the Ravens on Thursday night. The Thanksgiving matchup starts at 8:20 p.m. ET.
