Defense Still Wins Championships

Yes, Bengaldom! The Cincinnati defense rose to the occasion last night and took over the game. Seven sacks and two interceptions against Matthew Stanford is outstanding and watching the big guys up front completely abuse the Rams’ offensive line was a thing of beauty. The Front Office needs to do all it can to keep Lou Anarumo in the house as long as possible.

The defense played fast and last night was the first time all season I wasn’t worried because Von Bell and Jessie Bates weren’t on the back end. Trey Hendrickson was on Matthew Stanford like Deshaun Watson on a massage therapist and Sam Hubbard was outstanding on the other end of the line.

The Bengals will win a lot this year. As long as the defense plays like they did last night the offense can take time, find an identity, get Joe Burrow healthy, and wrack the league all over again.
