They jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but wouldn’t get close to the end zone again, dropping their second straight game since Joe Burrow’s injury.
Here’s a sampling of the reaction to their humiliating loss on X (formerly Twitter):
Bengals drop a second straight loss, falling 28-3 to the Denver Broncos, who finished with 512 yards of offense to Cincinnati's 159. No turnovers for the Bengals offense, which is an improvement, but they found other ways to self-implode. Back home Sunday vs. Detroit.

FINAL: Broncos 28, #Bengals 3

The Bengals knew they would play without Joe Burrow. They didn’t know they’d play without discipline, focus or any semblance of a plan.
The season suddenly feels veeeeery long.
They look lost, noncompetitive … and cooked.
Broncos get their first 100-yard rusher in 33 games

Of course it comes against the Bengals
Look guys I’m no Zac Taylor supporter, but at a certain point you have to look at the roster and just shake your head.

Not enough talent, too many wasted picks, zero player development, not active enough in FA.
Organizational issues from top to bottom.
Tough to describe what it feels like watching the Bengals tonight.

A head coach deserves some slack when he doesn’t have his QB.

He gets none when his team is blatantly noncompetitive in consecutive weeks.
The Bengals looked incredibly unprepared again tonight and Zac Taylor deserves whatever amount of heat/criticism/mockery/job questioning…
The result of every Bengals drive on offense the last two games:

Crazy thing is Bengals are in 2nd place alone in the AFC North 1 game out first.
