Defense has to adjust and play smarter. Not good to grab the momentum and then give it up that easily. Still feel good about the Bengals chances though.

Its so stupid that you have to let the Wr catch the ball and prepare himself to run before you can hit him. What ever happened to trying to dislodge the ball? ****in Goodell
The new technique is to dislodge it with the hands which some defenders have really become expert at.

looked like a favorable spot for Cincinnati to pick up that first down

Benglas got a good spot for that first down rather than having to make it on 3rd and 6"!

great composure by Dalton on this drive, so far

receivers and backs also focused

3 for 3 on third downs

Yeah, that was a favorable spot. Was a half a yard ahead it looked like, but ill consider it a makeup for the 15 Yarder. :)

And Green is making J Jo his bitch.

Dalton is looking great

don't want to put the hex on him but so far in first playoff game, on the road, very impressive

Ben does that all the time, right on the fringe

they were well in FG range at about the 25

even a draw play wouldn't have been bad there, QB has to get it away if there is any danger, find a way to escape enough to throw it away

clumsy series by Houston after taking over in good field position

interesting use of the challenge

for a first down on your own 30

this is one you have to get if you're challenging in this scenario

only one challenge left

in a game that looks like it could be very competitive with some other pivotal calls

Really stupid challenge there.

Great play by Dalton to find Lee over the middle.

important for the Bengals that they ruled that down on the field

so they didn't have to challenge and use their last one

still a nice job by Dalton

two scoring drives, should be three and 13-7, but if he keeps playing like this very steady, Bengals can win this game

chance for a turnover here I'd say

not much on first down, 2nd and long

Yates confused, needs to use a timeout

Yates deep pass was an interception waiting to happen, but it didn't!
