The Bengals went into the lions den at Ford Field in Detroit, MI this past Sunday and came our roaring in victory 34-11 !

The Bengals scraped and clawed their way around the field and controlled the game. The Lions did not score until the 4th Quarter and it was evident all game their offense is struggling mightily. Their defense seems solid but when you are out on the field for 70% of the game you are going to eventually get worn out. Joe Burrow and company moved up and down the field well especially in the second half. Joe threw for 271 yards and 3 touchdowns. He had 1 interception but it was his WR fault as it went right threw his hands. Mixon had an all around dominate game rushing the ball 18 times for 94 yards with averaging 5.2 yards per carry. He also had 5 receptions for 59 yards averaging 11.8 yards per catch with his longest being a 40 yard TD pass on a 4th and 1 play in the second half.

(Go to the 50 second mark on the video) Ja’Marr Chase had another solid game catching 4 passes for 97 yards with averaging 24.3 yards per catch. He caught another 50 + yard ball for 53 yards in this game.

The defense of the Bengals held the Lions to 11 points and forcing the Lions to punt 6 times. It is nice to see the Bengals be able to play solid defense once again. It has been a few years since they have been consistent. With the addition of free agents like Apple and drafting some players the defense is on the same page and playing at a high level.

Next up for the Bengals (4-2) are the Ravens (5-1) at 1:00pm on CBS as the Bengals travel to Baltimore to play where the Ravens are 3-0 at home. Let’s see this Bengals team control the ball and get the W to tie things up in the AFC North and both be at 5-2 when it is all over with on Sunday.

WHO DEY!!!!!
