The Cincinnati Bengals have now had multiple attempts to claw back to .500 for the first time since the start of the season, and both times, they’ve come up short. It isn’t for lack of effort, though.
The execution for this team, especially down the stretch when they have a lead, has been far from ideal, as fans got a glimpse of yet against on Thursday Night Football vs. the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals, now 4-6, were led by Joe Burrow, who ended the game with 428 passing yards and four touchdowns.
He had the Bengals up 21-7 in the third quarter, but Cincinnati’s defense gave up 28 points in the second half, and the team ended up losing yet another one-score game in disappointing fashion after Burrow’s offense drown down and scored with under a minute remaining.
