Marvin Lewis repeatedly blames tackling as an issue for Bengals’ loss to Chiefs

In case you were lucky enough to miss it, the Bengals got run out of Arrowhead Stadium by the Chiefs Sunday night. Cincinnati looked awful all the way around as the final score ended up being 45-10, which somehow still feels closer than it actually was.

Head coach Marvin Lewis spoke to the media Monday about the loss and a common theme was missed tackles.

The Bengals had 18 missed tackles against the Chiefs, according to PFF. Previous season high was 11 (twice, against Pittsburgh and Baltimore).

That isn’t surprising given how often the Chiefs were able to make the first defender miss.
