In this story:

CINCINNATI — Bengals head coach Zac Taylor noted how tackling and turnovers were the team's biggest issues in Sunday's loss to New England. All in all, PFF slotted Cincinnati with a whopping 13 missed tackles in the game.

That's the team's second-most in a game since the start of last season, with Geno Stone (three), Dax Hill (two), and Sam Hubbard (two) each missing multiple tackles.

Cincinnati has to clean this up quickly before facing plenty of players who can make people miss from the Chiefs offense this coming Sunday.
