Zac Taylor on Jake Browning:

Asked about Browning’s performance, Zac said “That’s on me.”

Last time the #Bengals scored TDs on 3 straight possessions was Week 11 last year vs. Chargers.

Bengals nearly recover the onside kick, but Detroit holds on after the ball spits out of the scrum. Detroit takes over up 11 with 2:57 left.

#Bengals had a shot at the onside, but Lions come up with it.

Lions 35, Bengals 24 The garbage time effect brought life to the #Bengals offense. After going 19 consecutive drives without a touchdown they have gone three straight with a TD (Chase, Chase, Higgins). Have to wonder if this late surge might have bought Browning time.
