Overview

• Zac Taylor pointed to a five-to-zero turnover gap, all in plus territory, saying multiple giveaways yielded Vikings points and two became touchdowns.
• Making his first start of 2025, Jake Browning went 19-of-27 for 140 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, including a pick-six off a Harrison Smith tip, according to Taylor.
• Taylor said two early defensive penalties worth 25 yards on the opening drive helped stake Minnesota to an initial touchdown.
• Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers produced two defensive touchdowns, adding separation on the scoreboard.
• Taylor said the final score was not reflective of stretches of play as the Bengals prepare for the Broncos on Monday night with an extra day to correct mistakes.
