24-10 at the half. Hard to be disappointed. BUT, honestly, without the those turnovers Bengals defense has allowed a lot of yards and has been pretty average.

Orlando Brown Jr. is false starting on several plays and it is not being called. Additionally he did it on 2nd and goal and his man still pressured Burrow blowing up the play.

24-10 Bengals.

We mismanaged time right at the end, there should not be any time left on the clock but there are six seconds before the half.

Orlando does it every play. Just like last year.

Nice first half from the Bengals. The defense is definitely better and Burrow has looked good to this point. The OL has impressed me too.

Bucs need to bring the pressure!

Defense got bailed out by the turnovers. They looked slightly better but some of the problems are still there. Too many missed tackles. This game isn't close to being over. The Bengals will need 40+ to get the win.

I will add this tough - Dexter Lawrence is a beast. Go back and look what he did the the offensive lineman on that Mayfield fumble into the end zone. Lawrence picked the lineman and trotted him back to Mayfield.

The one ongoing flaw in Burrow's game - he takes way too many sacks when on the edge of field goal range. Thankfully McPherson makes the 55 yarder. Burrow has got to fix that. Sometimes you have to make the best of a play and not try to make the big play.

Yes, gave up 3 points but that was the best defensive series of the game for the Bengals. Dexter and Allen are going to be trouble for teams this year.

They trade FG's to start the 3rd quarter and it is now 27-13 with 3:40 left in the 3rd quarter.

Now, do not go Marvin Lewis on us Zac. Ball security first but keep attacking. Tampa Bay can score and score fast.

There is the Burrow I know pick 6!

27-20 Bengals after the pick six, ugh.

A terrible decision by Burrow that he should not fall for and now we have a ball game! It is 27-20.

Joe with a Carson Palmer impersonation. The one thing we could not do. This game is a battle to the final horn now.

That was definitely fast VOR now we got a game we have to go down now and get that touchdown back on a long sustained drive.
