In The Trenches with Dave Lapham

Dave Lapham Reaction Bengals Loss To Kansas City Chiefs

It was another emotional day for Dave Lapham while he called the game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs on the First Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network on Sunday afternoon.
On Monday, Lapham returned to the First Star Logistics Studios to express his reaction to the Bengals' 26-25 loss to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. 
Fans have gotten used to the fact that when these two teams meet, the games will be close, and this one was no different. The Chiefs got a late flag on a 4th-and-16 pass interference call on rookie Daijahn Anthony, which allowed Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker the chance to kick a game-winning 51-yard field goal.
After time to digest the outcome, Lap is ready to react to the heartbreaking loss that moved the Bengals to 0-2 on the season, with the Washington Commanders coming to Paycor Stadium for Monday Night Football.

Cincinnati Bengals Lose Against the New England Patriots | Solomon Wilcots and Dave Lapham React

Former Cincinnati Bengal and sports commenter Solomon Wilcots joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals week 1 loss to the New England Patriots. 
It was a horrible opener for the Bengals who fell to the New England Patriots 16-10. Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense never got anything going and when they did they had a costly turnover on the goal line. 
Turnovers were a deciding factor in the Bengals loss with the Bengals losing the turnover battle 2-0. The defense played well enough to win but the missed tackles were a big weakness and when they needed a stop with two minutes left the missed tackles reared their ugly head. 
It's another slow start to the season and the Bengals will look for a big upset against the best team in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs. 
We want to thank Solomon for being a fantastic guest and for joining us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics.

Dave Lapham Reaction: Bengals Didn't Get It Done Against Patriots

There is no other way to say it. The Cincinnati Bengals didn't get the job done against the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon in Paycor Stadium.
A heavy favorite to win the game, the Bengals faced a New England Patriots team many expected to turn the tide of previous seasons with a win on the opening weekend of the season. Instead, the Patriots rushed for 170 yards, watched as the Bengals made costly mistakes, and gave new Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo his first career win.
Dave Lapham reacts to the season-opening loss after reflecting on what he witnessed on Sunday afternoon and feels he knows where things went wrong.
