Cincinnati Bengals Team Overview
Last game, the Cincinnati Bengals lost 16-10 against the New England Patriots as 7.5-point home favorites. The game went under the offshore betting total of 41. Cincinnati has a record of 0-1 straight up, 0-1 against the spread, and 0-1 over/under the total. Cincinnati ranks 23rd for total offense, 16th for passing, 24th for rushing, and 24th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 10th overall, 3rd against the pass, 22nd against the rush, and 4th for points allowed. Also, Cincinnati ranks 20th for fewest turnovers lost and 21st for takeaways.
Overall, the Bengals were simply bad in the first half and for most of the second. Cincinnati went three-and-out on its first three possessions. Joe Burrow moved the Bengals into the red zone in the second quarter and came away with nothing. Also, tight end Mike Gesicki appeared to make a falling catch in the end zone’s back corner, but a replay showed he hadn’t maintained control.
Next, a third-and-11 from the Patriots 15, Burrow connected with tight end Tanner Hudson at the 9-yard-line, but safety Kyle Dugger stripped the ball at the goal line, and cornerback Marcus Jones scooped it up and ran 17 yards the other way. In sum, Burrow finished a pedestrian 21 of 29 for 164 yards. His No. 1 receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, kept everyone guessing as to whether he was even going to play Sunday. Chase had limited participation in preseason practices as he awaits an expected contract extension deal. However, he elected to play and had six catches for 62 yards. Chase said he was sick with food poisoning in recent days but felt fine for the game.
Finally, Cincinnati got into the end zone near the end of the third quarter on Zack Moss’ 5-yard run. Evan McPherson’s 51-yard field goal cut New England’s lead to 16-10. The Bengals got the ball back with 2:56 left, did not get a first down, and elected to punt.
