The Bengals were a pre-season favorite by many to go to the SB. Then they lost Burrow. They are not a bottom 5 team talent wise. They just didn't have a QB. Flacco is at least capable of game managing and getting the ball to his play makers.
Even still, Aaron Rodgers engineered the offense to 31 points. He can't play defense too.
Can he not throw 2 picks? The Bengals defense had allowed 33.4 PPG the previous 5 games. If you include the Browns (who they held to 16, guess who the QB was) they allow 30.5 ppg. And they played without their superstar pass rusher in this game on a short week. The Bengals PD entering this game was -80 through 6 games, worst in the league.
Rodgers should be embarrassed his team basically could clinch the division and blew it.
