Par for the course with this team. The Bengals are 1-10 in the first two games to start the season under Zac Taylor. And Burrow is a notorious slow starter. They also didn’t do nearly enough to sure up the run defense. Which was the biggest issue last season, too.
The fumbles on the 1 yard line and on the punt return were also just absolute killers. Not to take anything away from the Pats (they tackled extremely well and were opportunistic) but it felt like the Bengals beat themselves as much as anything. I was impressed with that White #99 though.
