This Bengals defense is as advertised

It’s a long drive and the Bengals scored.
Mike McCarthy talked this week about what makes the Joe Burrow-Ja’Maar Chase connection so good. He said it was their timing and chemistry.
Just saw an example right there. Perfect pass and catch for the touchdown.

Huge screen play for CeeDee Lamb for over 40 yards.
CeeDee Lamb’s legs are fine.
My word, what a play.
— Joseph Hoyt (@JoeJHoyt) December 10, 2024
CeeDee Lamb is really good at football

Cowboys get intercepted in the redzone. Unlucky play and undoes a good drive.
Cowboys’ season-long red-zone issues pop up. Cooper Rush forces a pass to CeeDee Lamb that’s tipped into the air and intercepted. Can’t miss scoring opportunities against an offense like Cincinnati’s

Cowboys defense turns over the ball on fourth down with a huge stop.
Micah and Overshown can make offensive lives miserable man

The drive ends in a field goal.
Bengals offense returns and ends in a touchdown.
Dallas defended Cincinnati well on the next drive and held Joe Burrow back. Drive ended in a field goal.
Kind of a win for the Dallas D holding the Bengals to a FG. 17-10 with 30 seconds left in the half.

Cowboys started the second shaky with some bad news.
#Cowboys C Cooper Beebe has a concussion and will be out the remainder of the game

Rico Dowdle breaks a huge run.
The drive ends in a touchdown to Brandin Cooks.
Brandin Cooks catches the TD pass and the Cowboys are a PAT from tying this game.

The #Cowboys have scored on their opening drive of the game and their opening drive of the third quarter.
Feels like it’s been a LONG TIME since that’s happened. Dallas ties the game at 17-17.#DallasCowboys

Things get tough for Cincinnati and Burrow throws an interception right to Malik Hooker.
Joe Burrow blinks…Overthrow to Chase and picked by Hooker
— Clarence Hill Jr (@clarencehilljr) December 10, 2024
Malik Hooker with the INT on the throw to JaMarr Chase. Cowboys get a takeaway and the momentum is turning.
— Calvin Watkins (@calvinwatkins) December 10, 2024
Cowboys get moving on offense again with Dowdle.
The Bengals getting this type of season from Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase and being unable to create breathing room against the Cooper Rush Cowboys is one of the bleakest things I can think of.

After waiting 46 career games to have a 100-yard performance, Rico Dowdle has now stacked two straight with his last run.
15 carries, 104 yards, 6.9 yards per attempt as we near the end of the third quarter. #Cowboys

Brandon Aubrey hits a 47-yard field goal for the lead.
Brandon Aubrey knocks home a 47-yard FG to retake the lead on the opening play of the fourth quarter.
Defense needs to find an answer for Ja’Marr Chase. If that happens, the Cowboys offense is moving the ball well enough to win this one.
Cowboys 20, Bengals 17

DeMarvion Overshown went down with a knee injury.
DeMarvion Overshown down. Training staff looking at his right knee and has to be helped off the field.
Very little pressure being put on that side. Tough scene.

Dallas make a huge sack on third down. Refs miss the facemask.
First sack of the game on a cirtical 3rd down!!
— Zach Wolchuk (@ZachWolchuk) December 10, 2024
Refs TOTALLY blew that facemask call on Burrow
I saw it live how did they not?
— Tom Downey (@WhatGoingDowney) December 10, 2024
Marist Liufau comes in for the sack to end the Bengals drive. Cowboys can make a game-winning drive from here.
Liufau gets the sack!! Defense comes up with another stop!!!
Let’s go O! Aubrey game winner!
— Zach Wolchuk (@ZachWolchuk) December 10, 2024
After not getting home all game, the Cowboys got sacks to stop back to back drives in the fourth quarter
— Clarence Hill Jr (@clarencehilljr) December 10, 2024
Blocked punt, but Amani Oruwariye decides to try and pick it up but fumbles it. Bengals recover the ball and return to the field to get the game-winner.
The most Dallas Cowboys thing I’ve ever seen. Disgusting.

Ja’Marr Chase then runs in a huge score.
That was just symbolic of what the Cowboys’ season has been lol
