Game News
Patriots RB Antonio Gibson, listed as questionable for Sunday's opener against the Bengals due to a hip injury, plans to play, per @MikeReiss.
BENGALS REDZONE FUMBLE!
@NFL_DovKleiman: Rhamondre Stevenson TOUCHDOWN!
https://t.co/M9oemqCqjv https://t.co/ZMqRNW93IU
Bill Belichick wasn't impressed with #Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye's preseason ? (via @UnderdogFantasy) pic.x.com/ssvwlirdgq
If I've said it once, I've said it a lot: Jonathan Jones is, pound for pound, about as tough as they come. Great tackle to stop Cincy a yard short on 4th down.
How about that Layden Robinson block and finish on Stevenson TD?
Thoughts on the #Bengals all-orange uniforms??
@NFL_DovKleiman: Patriots S Jabrill Peppers is wearing a Guardian Cap in today's game.
This will be more and more common.
https://t.co/TLl1kADAxZ https://t.co/upQvehsLAD
Kyle Dugger punches it free. Huge effort, and Pats dodge a bullet.
RT: Look who I ran into leaving the game today. Mr. Zach Thomas #HOF #Teammates #Dolphins #NFL #TexasBoyz ?????? https://t.co/2yitY3147X
Joe Burrow jawing with Ja'Whaun Bentley after Bentley lunged at Burrow while sliding.
Joe Cardona forces the fumble. Hat on the ball! Jaylinn Hawkins recovers. Pats in business after a three-and-out.
Hunter Henry just saved Brissett's bacon. That should have been picked.
Bengals are fortunate to only be down 10. Jacoby Brissett didn't see K.J. Osborn open in the end zone when he was scrambling. pic.x.com/fhy3d5bv40
Patriots inviting the short stuff on 3rd and long. Bentley with the tackle on Gesicki to force the first 3-and-out, and Marcus Jones submarines Hudson for the second 3-and-out.
RT: Davon Godchaux on what it means to be a part of Jerod Mayo's first win as a head coach "It's legendary. First African American coach in New England history. When I watch it I'm going to tell my kids, I was a part of that. When it's in the history book, I was a part of that..." #Patriots
9 play, 90 yard drive by the Bengals, aided by a 20-yard DPI on Marco Wilson, and staying ahead on down and distance the rest of the drive. No third downs.
Former Bengal draft pick Michael Jordan is starting for the New England Patriots at left guard.
Now official: The Bengals and WR Ja'Marr Chase are not expected to reach a contract extension before today's regular-season opener, per sources. It remains unclear if Chase will play today. Actives/Inactives in 30 minutes.
Bengals will debut their all-orange uniforms for today's home opener vs. the Patriots (minus Tee Higgins, who is out due to a hamstring injury). pic.x.com/dakperfdwl
Patriots upset the Bengals!
@NFL_DovKleiman: Zack Moss Touchdown!
https://t.co/f2VzNVsO44 https://t.co/QQDsldbJwu
Ja'Marr Chase was the first one to catch balls from Joe Burrow during pre-game. Next were Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin.
The New England Patriots open their 2024 regular season schedule with a road trip to Paycor Stadium on Sunday to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
An ugly 4-13 finish to the 2023 season is plenty of motivation for a Patriots team entering a game for the first time in 24 years without former coach Bill Belichick on the sideline. The team parted ways with the legendary coach back in January and hired Jerod Mayo as the new head coach in New England.
It would be a powerful statement for the first-year head coach to lead the Patriots to an upset win over the Bengals in the season opener. Granted, he’ll have his work cut out for him in beating a Bengals team with a returning Joe Burrow on the road.
Bengals TE Tanner Hudson on his fumble: "Just didn't feel like anybody was around me... One of those that's gonna hurt for a little bit."
At the half... Zack Moss 13 snaps (59%) Chase Brown 8 snaps (36%)
Ryan Rehkow just boomed an 80-yard punt that almost squirted out of bounds inside the NE 1-yard line. Bengals kicker Evan McPherson had his hands on his hands in the surrender cobra pose.
RT: Rookie punter Ryan Rehkow set @Bengals team record w/ this 80-yd bomb vs @Patriots but I believe he also set #NFL record for highest gross punting avg in a game (min 4 punts) by averaging 64.5 yds! Previous record was 63.6 yds per by @Raiders A.J. Cole @NFLPlus ? @BYUfootball https://t.co/FeQKVvPGyH
The Cincinnati Bengals remained the worst Week 1 team in the NFL despite a strong summer for Joe Burrow, losing 16-10 in the opener to the New England Patriots.
Here are some quick takeaways from the humbling, concerning loss.
As expected, right? It didn’t help that two rookies they drafted to help in the rotation are now on the shelf with injuries. But the entire unit struggled against the run, whether it was key missed tackles, bad angles or something else. It starts up front, as guys like Sheldon Rankins need to make a bigger impact
Two starting Cincinnati Bengals battles for Week 1 were decided earlier this week and they’ll go to a player facing his former team and a former first-round pick.
Trent Brown gets the nod at right tackle, meaning he will face one of his former teams in the New England Patriots. Brown had two stints in New England, first in 2018 and then the last three seasons following two years with the Raiders.
Rookie first-round pick Amarius Mims is dealing with a pectoral injury and was ruled out for Sunday. Fellow reserve tackle D’Ante Smith is on injured reserve. So it’s the two Browns up front, Orlando and Trent as the tackles
