CINCINNATI (AP) – Defensive lineman Tank Johnson says the Bengals need an attitude adjustment.
The Bengals’ defense came into the season talking about moving up in the rankings from No. 4 to the NFL’s best. Instead, it ranks 25th after getting flattened in an opening 38-24 loss to the Patriots, a showing so bad that the Bengals are calling it an eye-opener.
Maybe they’re not as good as they think.
Johnson said on Wednesday that defense is about attitude, and the Bengals didn’t have the right one in New England. He says that has to change for the home opener Sunday against Baltimore, a team looking to grab the early AFC North lead.
The Bengals won the division last season by going 6-0 against the Ravens, Steelers and Browns. Cincinnati has won its last seven games in the division.
