Bengals Defense Sends a MASSIVE Message in Week 1!

But first, the Bengals are 1-0. defeating the Bucks 33-27, and the main reason was because they had four total turnovers, four fumbles, three from Baker Mayfield and one from Bucky Irving.

Now, it wasn't always great for the Bengals' defense, and it wasn't perfect.

There's a lot of stuff they need to fix and everything, but creating four turnovers is huge.

They won the turnover battle, and that was the main reason why they were able to win the game.

And I think a lot of that was because of a lot of the new guys that they brought on the defensive line.

The defensive line had 12 total pressures, five sacks, two quarterback hits in five hurries.

And they were pressuring Baker Mayfield at a 39% pressure rate.

So almost four out of his 10 dropbacks, he was being pressured.

And that's big that made Mayfield have to scramble out of the pocket, hold the ball longer than he needed to.

And that was a big reason why they were able to force the fumbles because they were able to punch the ball out and able to make Baker Mayfield hold onto the ball longer.

And against a defensive line that PFF had ranked inside the top three heading into the season for the Bengals to really be as disruptive as they were on the defensive line, I think is massive.

Now there were some procedural penalties that they had that were bad and the Bucks defense were able to score 20 points.

The Buccaneers finished with 282 total yards.

So, you know, okay, but nothing super crazy.

But Bowie Moffay led the team with three pressures and a sack.

Dexter Lawrence wasn't felt statistically, but he had two pressures and one quarterback hit.

Miles Murphy had a sack and Jonathan Allen had a sack.

So overall, I was really pleased with how the Bengals' defense went out, was opportunistic, and was able to create turnovers.

And then the Bengals' offense was able to put those turnovers into points, and that was a big reason why they ended up winning the game.

But there's still a lot to fix.

It's Week 1, but overall, this is a game that the Bengals would have lost last year because the offense really wasn't on it.

this week, and it was nice to see the Bengals' defense cover for them, make a lot of big plays, be opportunistic, create turnovers, and that, in case, caused points.

So I think that the Bengals' defense overall played really well.

I was really happy with what I saw with the defensive line, and I think that's a really good stepping stone for what this defense could be here for the rest of the season.

But there's one guy on offense who I thought was by far the best player on the team.
