The Cincinnati Bengals offered no resistance to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints at home Sunday and lost in blowout fashion, 51-14.
During the game, the Bengals’ defense allowed 509 yards and 33 first downs, and the Saints didn’t call punter Thomas Morstead into action one time.
After the blowout win, the Saints’ Twitter account trolled Cincinnati’s defense hard with a picture of Morstead pretending to sleep inside his locker, “exhausted” from all the hard work he had to endure.
For what it’s worth, it was the third straight game in which the Bengals gave up over 500 yards of offense — a first in the Super Bowl era. As a result, on Monday, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was fired.
