The 2024 NFL season for the Cincinnati Bengals did not get off to a strong start.
The New England Patriots came into Paycor Stadium and pulled off a 16-10 upset victory off of an excellent defensive effort.
The Patriots shut out the Bengals in the opening half and also forced two turnovers. Cincinnati did have a chance to come back in the final quarter but a questionable decision to punt led to multiple strong runs from Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson to seal the game.
Bengals fans took to social media to rip the Bengals for the lackluster performance against a team coming off of a 4-13 2023 season.
