This past Sunday, the Falcons were absolutely dominated through the air by a very potent Cincinnati Bengals offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow. This is a game that saw more losses on the back end as cornerback AJ Terrell left the game early with a hamstring injury, which handicapped the secondary even more. However, don’t be fooled into thinking that was the reason the defense got so handily beaten by this Bengals offense.
Coach Pees dialed up his signature pressure packages and hit and sacked Burrow multiple times. However, Burrow was just very sharp throughout the game, taking advantage of his weapons in every facet of the game.
