Bengals Defense Shines in Opening Win | Tampa News

Bengals dominate Buccaneers with a gritty, turnover-filled win—forcing four fumbles and scoring 24 points off them as Baker Mayfield’s shaky debut (three fumbles, including two sacks) ends his streak of undefeated opening games. Joe Burrow led the offense with 254 yards and a TD, while Evan McPherson nailed four field goals, including two from over 50 yards. New defensive stars Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook made instant impacts, helping turn the game into a defensive clinic. Bengals run out the clock after a late Bucs touchdown to seal their season opener victory—and they’re already looking ahead to Houston.
