Summary
The Bengals defense exploded in their season opener, forcing three turnovers on three straight drives from Baker Mayfield — turning them into 21 points and a 33-27 win. New faces like Myles Murphy and Barrett Carter delivered big hits, while veterans like Demetrius Knight Jr. and Bryan Cook cashed in with fumble recoveries. With four total forced fumbles — three from Mayfield — the unit silenced critics after last year’s 30th-ranked defense. They even traded away their first-round pick to build this pressure-packed unit. Despite some offensive hiccups and a costly pick-six, Burrow’s offense still scored its highest opener in 11 years. This defense, built to create chaos, could be the engine driving their playoff push. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
