Enquirer beat writers Paul Dehner Jr. and Fletcher Page break down the Bengals 51-14 loss to the Saints. Sam Greene, sgreene@enquirer.com
Before this once-hopeful Cincinnati Bengals season crashes in a finger-pointing, opportunity-missing, skepticism-furthering pile of same-as-it-ever-was, the defense needs to figure something out. Anything. Soon, preferably now.
Drew Brees chumped the Bengals defense Sunday. Brees made the Bengals D look like an F. It didn’t seem difficult.
This defense is a shambles and an historical disaster. Three games in a row it has allowed at least 500 yards. The New Orleans Saints had the ball nine times, and nine times the Saints scored.
