Bengals drop third straight

Lions 37 Bengals 24

It was too little, and too late.

Trailing 28-3 in the 4th, the Bengals scored 21 points to pull within 11.

Down 35-24 with 2:57 left, their on-side kick attempt failed. The Lions sacked Jake Browning for a safety in the final 2-minutes.

Outscored 113-37 in losing three straight.... 69-9 in the first half of the last three games, 97-9 in the first three quarters of those games.

Don’t worry. Zac will say it starts with him. And add that this will be a big week for their resolve and ability to deal with adversity.

Jake Browning and the offense was booed throughout the first half. It was abysmal.
