Bengals' 2-0 Start Sparks Dexter Lawrence Message Before Steelers Game
Dexter Lawrence has helped Cincinnati allow 6 points in Week 2 and earn praise as the Bengals prepare for Pittsburgh.
- On Sept. 20, the Cincinnati Bengals improved to 2-0 after a 20-6 road victory against the Houston Texans. The defense dominated, holding Houston without a touchdown and allowing just two field goals.
- Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has spearheaded this turnaround, anchoring a defensive line that bullied Houston's offense. Lawrence has played 86 snaps over two games, earning a 91.5 overall PFF defensive grade while collapsing the pocket.
- Limiting the Texans to 18 yards on 14 carries, the defense forced the offense to abandon the run. The unit recorded four sacks in the fourth quarter, tying a franchise record with four consecutive games of at least four sacks.
- Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan praised Lawrence, stating, "This is the best defensive tackle in football." Ryan called the trade "a fantastic trade," citing his dominance in run and pass defense.
- Week 3 brings a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where wideout Tee Higgins noted the team must correct mistakes. Despite the 2-0 start, players remain focused on building off early errors to maintain momentum.
