After allowing over 250 rushing yards for the third time this season, the Bengals fell to 0-6 on the season. Despite an uplifting start from Brandon Wilson returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown, Cincinnati found themselves in an early hole in the first half. The Bengals’ defense ended up tightening up after allowing the Ravens to score 17 points on their first three drives, but they were never really able to keep them from at least sustaining drives to eat the necessary clock.
The blame goes squarely on the offense though.
