"Their defense makes you panic because it’s so hard," Taylor said. "I was really proud of our offense taking what they were giving us, being patient and not overreacting."
With 41 seconds left in the third quarter, the Bengals got their moment. With multiple safeties down the field in zone coverage and a setup that’s designed to take away big plays, offensive play callers have always had to set up big play opportunities over the course of the game. With the Bengals needing to hold serve, Burrow got his first opportunity of the game to create a big play down the field.Ĭoaching against Fangio, one of the most influential and successful defensive coordinators in the NFL, Taylor said an offense needs to stay patient. On the following series, the Broncos took a 10-9 lead on a 25-yard touchdown throw from backup quarterback Drew Lock to wide receiver Tim Patrick. "Fifteen-to-ten sounds about right sometimes when you play them." "You’ve probably been able to tell by my tone this week that I’ve got a ton of respect for the Denver Broncos and a ton of respect for their coaching staff," Taylor said. With the way the Bengals defense was playing, it was the right call. Instead of going for it, Taylor chose to kick the field goal, take a 9-3 lead and trust his defense. In the middle of the third quarter, the Bengals had 4th down at the Broncos 8-yard line.
