For the third year in a row, the Cincinnati Bengals failed to score a touchdown in the first half of week 1. In the Burrow era, this team has struggled in its opener, and that has not changed in 2024 against the New England Patriots.
The Ja’Marr Chase contract saga has definitely changed the focus on the game, especially with Chase making some key plays.
The team did start a comeback against the Patriots in the second half, but it ended with disappointment. The Bengals punted on 4th down and were unable to get the stop they needed.
