The 7-yard sack by Trey Hendrickson of Matthew Stafford ended up giving the Bengals good field position to start their first drive. Johnny Hekker hit a line drive, 40-yard punt that Trent Taylor returned 8 yards.
That allowed the Bengals to start their first drive at their own 42.
Tyler Boyd caught an 8-yard pass from Joe Burrow on the team’s first play from scrimmage, and Joe Mixon picked up 1 yard to set up a third-and-short. A’Shawn Robinson stopped Samaje Perine for no gain on third down.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor didn’t hesitate to keep the offense on the field for fourth-and-short.
Burrow’s pass, though, was incomplete to J’Marr Chase. Tee Higgins was wide open on the play.
Now, the Rams get the good field position.
