In a stunning display of primetime football, the Kansas City Chiefs managed to secure a victory with a few key calls going their way in Week 2. The Cincinnati Bengals came into their game against the Washington Commanders with high expectations, especially on offense. However, it was their defense that ultimately let them down in a historically bad performance.
As the dust settled on the game, many were left wondering what went wrong and if the Bengals’ season could be salvaged. According to one expert, the Chiefs’ success should be attributed to their veteran team rising to the occasion.
But it wasn’t just one bad game for the Bengals’ defense. In fact, in their previous two games this season, they made teams that were supposed to be among the worst in the league look like powerhouses. In their opener against the New England Patriots, the Bengals allowed a whopping 170 yards rushing. And the trend continued in their latest match against the Commanders, where they gave up 38 points and failed to force a single punt or turnover.
Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had a breakout performance, looking comfortable against Cincinnati’s pass rush and leading his team to a decisive victory. As one fan lamented, “The defense looked lost out there. We need to figure things out before it’s too late.”
So what’s next for the Bengals? Can they turn things around and salvage their season? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – they’ll need to make some major adjustments on defense if they want to have any hope of success moving forward.
