Not taking anything away from Browning but that was a pretty ghastly game from a defensive standpoint for both teams. I'm sure coaching is a lot harder than it looks to fans but I didn't understand the Bengals playing so soft defensively on the last drive of regulation. The Jags had a rusty backup QB come into the game late and the Bengals defense basically rolled over and let Beathard complete uncontested, underneath passes all the way down the field to get into game tying FG position. Why not force him to actually make a few passes downfield rather than just give them all the easy completions? Why not go for the win rather than play for OT? They got the OT win so I suppose it worked out but that would have been pretty frustrating for a Bengals fan if they lost.
