While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers melted down, the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday added another chapter to their case as Super Bowl contenders.
from a three-score deficit to beat the Buccaneers, 34-23. Late in the second quarter, the Buccaneers had a 17-point lead and nearly 200 more total yards than the Bengals. At one point, it looked like the Bengals wouldn’t be able to stop Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, especially without their two best pass rushers and their best two cornerbacks.
Mike Hilton was wearing a black long sleeve T-shirt and cheering his teammates on from the sideline. Trey Hendrickson, Hayden Hurst and Chidobe Awuzie were out with injuries. The Bengals made it a two-score game with a field goal. On the following drive, the Bengals forced another turnover. For the first time all year, a Bengals cornerback recorded an interception. And it was Tre Flowers, whose role had been dwindling all season.
Three minutes later, Boyd paved the way for Chase’s first down. One play after that, Burrow threw a touchdown to wide receiver Tee Higgins. Then Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader forced a fumble, got the Bengals the ball again and set up a touchdown throw to Boyd. The Bengals defense responded to its worst stretch of the season. For the entire first half, the Bengals couldn't pressure Brady without Hubbard and Hendrickson. Brady picked on the Bengals’ rookie cornerbacks, targeting Hill and Taylor-Britt over and over in the middle of the field.
