The Cincinnati Bengals lost the Week 6 matchup to the Green Bay Packers. Following the loss, the Bengals’ head coach Zac Taylor delivered a contradicting message. On one hand, Taylor praised the veteran quarterback for his composure, saying, “He had a lot of confidence… got into a rhythm. He knows where to find Ja’Marr and Tee… and it paid off for us.” On the other hand, he’s also holding the offense accountable for not showing up. Flacco tossed his first-ever touchdown for the Bengals on fourth down to Tanner Hudson, showing his experience. However, Taylor didn’t mince words while mentioning the team’s struggling points. “I’m sick after that loss,” he admitted. “We came up short. There’s no consolation there — we expected to win.” This loss drops the Bengals to 4-2, challenging them further in the contest.
