The New England Patriots did not take any prisoners in the first half of its Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, taking a shutdown lead into intermission. A big part of that was the team’s defense forcing an opportunistic red zone takeaway late in the second quarter.
After a Mike Gesicki touchdown catch was called upon review, the Bengals found themselves in a 3rd-and-11 from the New England 15-yard line.
