Bengals defense shouldn't hit panic button (yet) after Tanner McKee torched them

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals offense was as elite as advertised in Thursday's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately, Burrow and Co. were finished for the evening after two touchdown-scoring drives, ceding the stage for Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee to shine.

Making this take of mine continue to age like fine wine, eh?
