Why Orlando Brown Jr. was disappointed with himself in Bengals win

After a triumphant 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow expressed disappointment with his performance during the game, despite the team's overall success. Offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. echoed Burrow's sentiment, admitting that he was "disappointed with my overall play today." The offensive line struggled against Houston's pass rush, allowing multiple sacks, hits, and pre-snap penalties, which halted field-goal attempts and kept the game close.

While Burrow only faced one sack, he was hit ten times, indicating the pressure he faced from Houston's defensive line. The Bengals, however, managed to maintain a strong second half, scoring seven points in the first half and ultimately winning. The improved offensive line play was a crucial factor in the team's success, as it had been a concern heading into the season.

Both Brown and center Ted Karras acknowledged the need for film study to analyze the differences between the halves and acknowledged the defensive team's strong performance in shutting down the Bengals' offense.
