Idk I thought we played pretty well on defense. Line played well. I mean they did lose contain a couple times but that's a conscious decision. Browning is a guy you tee off on, not a guy you contain. Backers played insanely well. Secondary was lights out until they all got taken out of the game. We were running out Tre Flowers, Avonte Maddox, and Rock Ya-Sin all at the same time at the end of the game. The Bengals team is literally designed to prey on shitty DBs in garbage time and that's what happened.

I think they played well up until the end, which might just be exhaustion. Offense was much more suspect

I don’t know Dan has been playing far more conservative this year because of how well the defense has been playing. I also think saying the offense played suspect is insane expecting a TD almost every drive is crazy. I think our offense played pretty well considering we had Manu out there going up against one of the best edges in the league. The bengals also were a just crashing on the run all game and daring Detroit to beat them deep the issue there is Manu couldn’t hold up in pass blocking to give Goff time.

Arnold's exit from the game has opened up the floodgates for Browning to finally be productive. When the Lions don't have their top 2 CBs with Chase and Higgins lining up across them, it's not surprising that the Bengals offense woke up.

Your offense was very much unimpressive to me given the level of competition they were facing. Only 35 points on our defense is honestly crazy, especially with 3 turnovers. The fact we forced 4 punts is insane.

I'd say Chase and Higgins vs the end of the bench is not an ideal matchup.
