The Bengals accumulated their share of penalties last night and it was a sloppy game from the start. The team finished with 11 accepted penalties for 85 yards. Mental mistakes can derail offensive and defensive momentum. To be fair, the Redskins penalty yards were north of 100.
Heading into practice next week, this will no doubt be a focus for Zac Taylor and his staff. The third preseason game is considered the dress rehearsal for the opener. Getting this area cleaned up is a must.
