On Monday night, Daniels came out on top, ambushing Cincinnati with big plays, keeping the offense alive with excellent decision-making and knowing when to use his legs. The LSU player did an excellent job of not leaving the pocket too early – something his own head coach lamented earlier in the season – and keeping plays alive with his arm before using his legs.
Kingsbury deserves credit for playing an excellent game on Monday night, giving his rookie quarterback consistent answers to the Bengals defense and providing more room to maneuver with long-throw options in Week 3.
For the second week in a row, the Commanders offense failed to punt or lose the ball.
Even if Taylor-Britt’s comments were not meant to be malicious, it was predictable that they would spiral out of control. That’s why we’re fed bland, agnostic cliches every week. Being open-minded does no good to an active player.
After the game, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor criticized Taylor-Britt’s comments.
“That’s not what we do,” Taylor said. “We praise our own team. We praise the other team. We don’t make throws like that. This team hasn’t punted in two weeks.”
Taylor ignores his own club’s history, including recent comments from former running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver Tyler Boyd. But who needs to keep receipts?
Taylor-Britt has livened up the mood in the Cincinnati locker room over the past two weeks by adding colorful commentary that could be viewed through the lens of bulletin board material, but given the Bengals’ 0-3 start, it’s likely they’ll revert to soporific cliches.
