Bengals Weekly lineman: Trey Hopkins puts on fantastic finale, Christian Westerman comes on in relief

If you thought the Bengals defense was soft coming into Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, the sight of the inept front seven of the Buccaneers must’ve looked like a flower patch. Quarterback Andy Dalton and the Bengals offense did whatever they wanted against the Buccaneers’ helpless 32nd ranked defense in the first half of Sunday’s game because they were just flat out better. Dalton was precise and decisive in the pocket, slot receiver Tyler Boyd was running crisp routes against cornerbacks that simply couldn’t keep up, and the offensive line was keeping the Buccaneers pass-rushers in check.
