Winless Detroit Lions crushed by Cincinnati Bengals, 34-11: 'That was a beatdown'

No tears this week, just anger. And Dan Campbell had every right to be ticked off.

After clawing, scratching and biting everything but kneecaps to keep games competitive the first five weeks, the Detroit Lions turned in their most uninspired effort of the season Sunday, losing to the Cincinnati Bengals, 34-11, at Ford Field.

“We got whipped. That was brutal,” Campbell said. “We took it and they got after us. Credit Cincinnati, they were ready to go and we didn’t do anything right. Thought we played a little defense early in that game, first half … and just we couldn’t sustain.
