In a back-and-forth affair, the Cardinals narrowly trail the Cincinnati Bengals 17-14 at halftime despite multiple uncharacteristic mistakes.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Bengals initially jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead with a little less than 5 minutes remaining in the first quarter.
On their first drive of the afternoon, Joe Burrow led Cincinnati right down the field for an 11-play, 64-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown.
Meanwhile, throughout the Cardinals first two drives, they combined for a total of zero yards as both drives ended with three-and-outs.
However, almost if a switch was flipped on the sideline, the Cardinals stormed back with 14 unanswered points.
Joshua Dobbs connected with WR Marquise Brown for a 25-yard touchdown pass to first get the Cardinals on the board.

Then, following a couple of quick drives, the Bengals attempted to answer back with a long drive towards the end of the second quarter.
While this drive ultimately fell short at the 1-yard line as the Cardinals’ defense made a critical goal line stand, Joshua Dobbs immediately threw his first interception of the season.
This interception was returned for a touchdown, which gave the Bengals a 17-14 lead right before the half came to a conclusion.
Cincinnati will receive the second-half kickoff.
