The defenses are starting to dial up the pressure on Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford.
Following the Rams’ field goal, the Bengals were held to a three-and-out where Burrow was sacked for a 7-yard loss Ernest Jones.
The Rams suffered the same fate and were forced to punt after a three-and-out of their own that ended with Stafford getting sacked by D.J. Reader on third down for a 6-yard loss. On the sack, Reader rolled up on Stafford’s left ankle and he hobbled off field. However, Stafford was taped up on the sideline and remained in the game.
