This was an interesting game to examine the snaps for the Cincinnati Bengals. They have started to deal with injuries on the defensive side of the ball, and we are seeing midseason additions getting more work because of it. Of course we will also be seeing what could possibly be changing going forward as well with this team needing to almost run the table to even think about making the playoffs.
The Bengals had plenty of mistakes that extended 49ers’ drives. San Francisco didn’t convert their first third down until the second half, but they were able to get great field position and extend drives through Cincinnati’s own mistakes.
