All the positivity from the Cincinnati Bengals' 2-0 start to the 2025 season officially evaporated on Sunday, as they lost at home to the Detroit Lions to 37-24 to drop their third straight game. Wasn't as close as the final score indicates, either.
Some credit goes to the defense for at least trying to put up a decent fight whilst Zac Taylor's so-called offensive system did its best to attack Detroit. Making matters worse is how badly the Lions were beat up in the secondary. Jake Browning and Co. couldn't capitalize to say the least.
So here we are, trying to dredge up some winners amongst the many losers on the Bengals' side of Sunday's latest lopsided outcome.
