Can the Bengals defense rebound from its disaster vs. Washington?

What happened?

That is the question that is on everybody’s mind after Monday night’s embarrassing loss to the Washington Commanders, in which neither team punted the football.

Sometimes, the answers only raise more questions.

“I knew that was a dangerous team,” Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said after the game. “They were ready for us, and they made more plays than we did.”

Clearly, the Bengals were not ready for Washington.

Jayden Daniels, the Commander’s rookie quarterback, came into the game having completed 41 of his 53 passes (77%) for 410 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
