The D gave up 1 TD and 4 FGs. Dalton completed LESS than 50% of his passes and put up an INT for a passer rating of 44.7.
Because the offense couldn't move the ball, the D was on the field twice as long. It's easy for the Texans to run the ball that game because the Bengals couldn't score to put pressure on them to pass it. It was 7-9 Texans at half time. That's good D. The D only gave up 10 points the whole 2nd half. The OFFENSE is the one to blame... yet again.
Time of possession that game:
21:11 Bengals, 38:49 Texans
First Downs that game:
12 Bengals, 24 Texans
It's a common theme around here to forget how good the Bengals defense has been and how much the offense has squandered it. I don't understand it.
1st Houston game?
Time of possession
30:17 Bengals, 29:43 Houston
Total plays
65 Bengals, 57 Houston
Yet that fresh and rested Bengal defense still got shredded by Arian Foster for 182 yards on 27 touches.
