The game has been labeled as “ugly,” but there’s an argument to be made against that.
In the Cincinnati Bengals’ 15-10 win over the Denver Broncos, the visiting team didn’t make as many mistakes as they’ve made in recent weeks. After committing a combined six turnovers in their last two weeks, they were safer with the ball and made sure the worst outcomes were punts. They started off wanting to attack a man-heavy defense through the air and ended up whittling them down in the run game, albeit not very effectively.
The offense simply didn’t have it all together.
