GREEN BAY -- The Bengals dropped their fourth straight game Sunday at Lambeau Field, 27-18, to the Green Bay Packers. The Bengals had next-to-zero offense in the first half and good defense, as they trailed only 10-0. But they found offensive rhythm in the second half behind new quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw a pair of fourth-down touchdowns in the second half. But the defense allowed three long, game-sealing scoring drives. Skinny and Trags break down Sunday's loss and whether there's real hope for the Bengals to break out of it on a short week when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night at Paycor Stadium.

CLEVELAND -- It might have been ugly but it was a win for the Bengals on opening day in Cleveland. Joe Burrow threw for just 113 yards and the offense could muster just 141 yards total offense but the defense intercepted Joe Flacco twice off deflected passes off receivers' hands and the Bengals held on for a 17-16 win over the Browns. Also helping the Bengals' cause was a missed extra point and a missed 36-yard field goal by Andre Szmyt. Noah Fant had a touchdown reception and Chase Brown ran for a touchdown in the first season-opening win since 2021. Richard Skinner of Local 12 joins Trags to break it down.

The Bengals are also looking for depth along their offensive line after Lucas Patrick left Monday's game with an unspecified injury while Cody Ford and Cordell Volson did not dress. Veteran guard Dalton Risner was in Cincinnati Tuesday visiting with the Bengals. And Mitchell Tinsley made two leaping touchdown grabs late in the first half to perhaps seal his roster spot.
