The Cincinnati Bengals were an absolute mess on Sunday.
Despite having the lead for a solid portion of the first half, the team fell apart to end the half and into the second half with multiple crucial special teams mistakes. Mike Thomas had a few extremely disappointing mistakes.
Those didn’t doom the Bengals; their offensive line did, giving starting quarterback Brandon Allen no help at all.
Allen was sacked five times while second-year quarterback Ryan Finley, who also got some snaps, was sacked once. The Bengals failed to get the Dolphins rookie Tua Tagovailoa on the ground at all.
