Bengals Defense Silences Rodgers, Improves to 3-0

The Bengals improved to 3-0 on the young season last night by getting to Aaron Rodgers early and often. The Bengals vaunted defense held the all-pro to a 41.0 Quarterback Rating and a 43% completion percentage (16-37). For the second week in a row the defensive line created problems for the opposing quarterback by getting pressure from the front four. Geno Atkins in particular built a vacation home in the Green Bay backfield on his way to racking up 5 sacks in the game.

The Bengals run game gave the defense plenty of rest on the sideline as the Bengals nearly doubled up on them in time of possesion (31:32 vs 16:28). Gio Bernard, who had supplanted BJGE as the Bengals starting Running Back was hit hard in the 3rd quarter and lost for the next 5-7 weeks with a fracture in his right arm. Green-Ellis was already performing admirably at that point, however. He averaged 5.5 yards a carry on the day and scored twice.

Andy Dalton was good enough again, going 16-23 for 193 yards, a Touchdown and an INT. He connected with Riley Cooper 7 times for 75 yards making Cooper the leading wideout.

The Bengals sit high atop the division going into Week 4 were they take on in-state rival Cleveland who is a dismal 0-3.
