The Bengals are a good team no doubt, but apparently some people forget that they also play against good teams who are going to make good defensive plays and stops. It would be one thing if they only played the Titans every week, but they don't. When the opposing team makes great plays it's not an indictment against our team. The other side also plays in the NFL and are expected to play up to it just as the Bengals are expected to play up to being an NFL team.

For all the grief we (rightly in many cases) give our defense at least we don't do idiotic things like leave Antonio Brown running around uncovered in critical fourth down situations - like the Raiders did.

The Raiders were probably surprised they went to Brown since he hadn't done much the rest of the game.
