My exact thoughts as well Hap. We played scared conservative ball the entire game on D. Our 2 all pro safeties 10-15 yards off the Ball all day were non existent.
Glad the Bengals won, it will make the SB much better for me overall.
They did the 1st half as well today. Cincy decided to coach and make huge adjustment coming out that 2nd half on D. They played much more aggressive on intermediate crap and it worked.
Happy for Bengal fans.
