The Monday night matchup between the Washington Commanders and the Cincinnati Bengals gave the latter team a harsh reality check. The Bengals went into the game as favorites to win, but due to the average performance by their defense, they were unable to prevent the Commanders from outscoring them. The offense fared well, and Joe Burrow put on a show as he threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers.

There is nothing more that Burrow could have done. But Chris Canty thinks otherwise. The analyst shared a contradictory opinion on Unsportsmanlike Radio as he put the blame for the Bengals loss on Joe Burrow.

When your quarterback has a chance to go win the game, he’s gotta win the game and Joe Burrow didn’t do that, Jayden Daniels did. That’s the problem that I had.

Canty has this view because Cincinnati has invested significantly more into its offense than defense. He pointed out that the Bengals are one of the top spenders upon offense in the NFL while rank in the bottom 10 when it comes to spending on their defense.

The Cincinnati Bengals, they have a very very specific formula for how they’re going to have to win games. They’re going to have to be led by their offense…The Cincinnati Bengals are top 5 in spend on the offensive side of the ball relative to rest of the league. They are 22nd in cash spent on defense. News flash, the defense for the Bengals ain’t going to be as good as the offense.

Chris Canty added

All that was expected of the Bengals defense was to perform competitively. But on Monday night, they just sucked.

Cincinnati Bengals defense had its worse performance in team history on Monday night

The Bengals defense allowed five touchdowns, a field goal on six possessions, and failed to make a single stop. While Canty’s argument that the offense is more vital to winning games than the defense is valid to an extent, it does not exonerate the latter completely as being responsible for Monday night’s loss.

Fans on social media were baffled by Canty’s take. After all, Joe Burrow did everything in his capacity to keep the Bengals alive and going. Here’s how they reacted to his take via X:

The fact that the Bengals offense gave up 0 punts on Monday night is proof that Joe Burrow was not the reason they lost the game. He completed every drive and scored on each of them.

It was the defense which failed to make a stop and give the offense an opportunity to get back on the field. The 0-3 Bengals will look to secure their first win of the season on Sunday night as they play the Carolina Panthers.
