At the beginning of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 34-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, it appeared that the hyped-up Bengals offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow was in for a long day against Chiefs veteran defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
The game started with two Cincinnati drives that ended in punts, only running seven plays total. Each possession featured a sack and forced the Bengals to play from well behind the sticks.
As the game went on, Spagnuolo continued to be confident in his plan to rattle the young quarterback — but the more Burrow saw, the better he became at attacking it.
