Simply, the previously unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals played their worst game of the year offensively.
The offensive line and receivers were called for numerous penalties, from holds to false starts, to push the team further back on drives or eliminate positive plays. Andy Dalton was inaccurate, from dump offs to deep balls. A.J. Green was completely taken away. Tyler Eifert dropped the ball. The running game was ineffective.
And it took all of that for Houston to barely squeak by, thanks to an early fourth-quarter touchdown from backup quarterback T.J. Yates to DeAndre Hopkins, who made a great play over the head of Adam Jones along the boundary of the end zone. The Bengals' defense, which entered the game with the league's second-best scoring defense, was stingy again – but the group was just one play too short.
