The Cincinnati Bengals managed to defeat the Miami Dolphins 27-15 on Thursday Night Football, but it was in spite of head coach Zac Taylor's ineptitude.
Cincinnati's offense looked pedestrian for most of the game under Taylor's play-calling. The Bengals didn't attack through the air as much as they should've, attempting too many run plays against Miami's stout front seven.
Joe Burrow led the way with 287 yards and two touchdowns on 20-of-31 passing. Cincinnati's star receiver duo of Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase had solid games, but it felt like they had an opportunity to dominate the Dolphins' depleted secondary.
