KANSAS CITY
http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-mixon-jersey , Mo. (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals knew that with a banged-up defense facing the
NFL’s highest-scoring offense, there was a good chance they’d have to simply
outscore the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night.They barely outscored the
Chiefs’ defense.Andy Dalton was held to 148 yards passing with a touchdown and a
pick-6, Joe Mixon managed 50 yards on the ground and the Cincinnati offense
struggled to keep up with the high-flying Chiefs in what turned into a 45-10
rout finished off by the backups at Arrowhead Stadium.“Yeah, that’s a good team.
Everybody knows that they’ve been able to score points,” Dalton said. “When you
don’t do that on your side of the ball it can turn into a game like it did.”So
much for the Chiefs bringing in the NFL’s worst defense.Dalton was only sacked
twice but was under constant duress, and the Bengals’ running game — which still
has not produced a 100-yard rusher this season — went absolutely
nowhere.Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense piled up 551 yards in
a dominant performance.“It’s on everybody,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.
“The coaching staff has to do a great job of preparing. The (players) have to
understand and make the adjustments
Jessie Bates III Jersey White , the execution — we knew that was going to be a big part of it. Communication, being alert, making the adjustments and so
forth throughout the football game. We did a poor job of that. We’ve got to
understand that we have opportunities.“We had a lot of plays,” Lewis said,
“where we’ve got to do better.”Indeed, it’s been a miserable couple weeks for
the Bengals (4-3), who were flying high after a shootout win over Atlanta and a
solid win over Miami. Dalton and Co. was rolling on offense and a defense that
had been suspect coming into the season was starting to round into shape.Then
came last week’s 28-21 loss in Pittsburgh, when the Bengals picked up a slew of
injuries while watching Ben Roethlisberger find Antonio Brown to give the
Steelers the winning touchdown.That loss was competitive
Womens Randy Bullock Jersey , but deflating.Their defeat Sunday night? Downright embarrassing.Making it sting even more was the fact that the Bengals,
already without three key players due to injuries, watched three more playmakers
go down. Emotional linebacker Vontaze Burfict limped off in the third quarter
with a hip injury, speedy wide receiver John Ross went down with a groin injury
and tight end Mason Schreck left with a knee injury.Throw in injuries to running
back Giovani Bernard, center Billy Price and tight end Tyler Kroft and perhaps
it’s not so surprising the Bengals only managed 239 yards total offense against
Kansas City.Ron Parker capped the forgettable performance by reading Dalton’s
eyes early in the second half, stepping in front of a pass and taking the
interception back for a touchdown. The Chiefs had just scored to take a 31-7
lead, and the defensive score gave them two TDs in a span of 9 seconds.“My guy
kind of just stood up and blocked,” Parker said
Jordan Evans Jersey , “and I just had my eyes on the quarterback. I saw him just looking to the right, had my eyes on him and took me right to the
ball.”If only Dalton’s own targets were so productive.A.J. Green had seven
catches for 117 yards but failed to reach the end zone, and Tyler Boyd was shut
out until the second half after two TD grabs against the Steelers. Mixon tried
to give the offense a bit of balance, but the Bengals were in such a hole early
that they had to air it out.That didn’t work. Nothing really did.“It’s just one
game. We’ve got another one next week,” Dalton said. “As much as this one sucks,
like I said, everything’s still right there. We’re in a great position. We’ve
got to go take advantage of it.” Texas A&M’s Trayveon Williams led the SEC
in rushing last season with 1,524 yards. He was a three-down back in Jimbo
Fisher’s pro-style offense.So count Williams and the Aggies among those
surprised that Williams didn’t go much higher in the draft.It took one of his
former coaches to end his slide.Jim Turner was the offensive line coach at
A&M during all three of Williams’ seasons. Turner now is the Bengals’
offensive line coach. (New Bengals head coach Zac Taylor also spent time at
A&M but before Williams arrived.)The Bengals drafted Williams in the sixth
round
Vincent Rey Jersey , the 182nd overall choice. He was the 15th running back picked despite having been a productive college running back.He finished his
three seasons in College Station with 3,615 rushing yards, 561 receiving yards,
35 touchdowns and four lost fumbles, missing only one game for injury. Williams
also has 11 career kickoff returns.The Bengals needed a third back after they
released Mark Walton. Walton, a 2018 fourth-round pick, struggled in his limited
playing time last year and had multiple arrests.
