CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals let another opportunity slip past.
After two straight defeats, including Sunday’s error-filled 26-23 overtime loss to San Francisco, the Bengals remain a game behind Baltimore atop the AFC North.
That’s even though the Ravens have dropped two in a row as well, the latest to the Browns earlier in the day.
Sunday’s loss was especially tough for Cincinnati.
The Bengals trailed 20-6 before Ja’Marr Chase caught a pair of touchdown passes from Joe Burrow to tie the score in the fourth quarter.
The Bengals led 23-20 in overtime, but Jimmy Garoppolo’s 12-yard TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk won it for San Francisco.
