CINCINNATI — The Bengals defense was awful on Monday night. They didn't stop the Commanders offense once—giving up 38 points in the process.

Their defensive line struggled throughout the game. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had 3.13 seconds to pass the ball. Washington converted 5-of-9 third down attempts and went 3-for-3 on fourth down.

The Bengals need more from veteran Sam Hubbard. He was 6.22 yards away from Daniels on passing plays, which ranked No. 127 out of No. 128 according to Nex Gen Stats.

Trey Hendrickson wasn't much better (5.46 yards), but at least he had one sack and a tackle for loss. Hubbard finished with three tackles.
