Cincinnati Bengals start slow, drop ugly 2024 opener | Cincinnati Bengals vs. New England Patriots Week 1 Reaction

It was a no good, very bad, absolutely terrible season opener for the Cincinnati Bengals. With a sputtering start and atrocious fumbles, they lost a game to a New England Patriots team they had no business losing to, and now face an uphill battle out of the season opener again. Worse, they didn't find consistent answers on offense and couldn't - or wouldn't - push the ball downfield in the passing game, and simply couldn't tackle on defense in the running game. They'll need to find answers fast.
