CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Cincinnati Bengals' luck had to run out sometime.
It sure seemed like the Bengals’ defense was headed for late-game heroics for the third straight week, but the opportunistic defense of the first two weeks failed to generate a turnover in a 31-21 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
“We didn’t make any bounces go our way,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “We had opportunity and we’ve got to make them bounce our way.”
That’s going to have to change when the Bengals travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons on Sunday, especially if the Bengals don’t have A.
