Lions
Dominate
Bengals
37-24 in
Cincinnati
CINCINATI,OH
- The
Detroit
Lions
defeated
the
Cincinnati
Bengals
37-24 on
October
5, 2025,
improving
their
record
to 4-1
in a
dominant
road
performance.
Goff
Leads
Efficient
Offensive
Attack
Quarterback
Jared
Goff was
nearly
flawless,
completing
16 of 20
passes
for 212
yards
and two
touchdowns
with
zero
interceptions.
The
Lions'
passing
attack
was
sharp
throughout,
averaging
over 10
yards
per
attempt.
Wide
receiver
Jameson
Williams
led the
aerial
assault
with
five
receptions
for 92
yards
and a
touchdown,
while
Amon-Ra
St.
Brown
contributed
six
catches
for 67
yards.
The
ground
game
complemented
the
passing
attack
effectively,
as the
Lions
rushed
for 83
yards
with
Jahmyr
Gibbs
finding
the end
zone on
11
carries.
Defense
Forces
Three
Turnovers
Detroit's
defense
put on a
clinic,
capitalizing
on
Cincinnati's
struggles.
The
Lions
intercepted
Bengals
quarterback
Jake
Browning
three
times,
completely
disrupting
the home
team's
offensive
rhythm.
Browning
finished
with a
dismal
42.2
passer
rating,
completing
19 of 31
passes
for just
133
yards
with one
touchdown
and
three
interceptions.
Bengals
Struggle
to Find
Answers
Cincinnati's
offense
sputtered
all
afternoon.
The
Bengals
managed
only 62
rushing
yards on
14
carries,
and
their
passing
game
failed
to
generate
any
explosive
plays.
Wide
receiver
Ja'Marr
Chase
caught
just
four
passes
for 52
yards,
well
below
his
usual
production.
The
loss
drops
the
Bengals
to 2-3
on the
season,
continuing
their
early-season
struggles
with
backup
quarterback
Jake
Browning
under
center.
The
Lions,
meanwhile,
continue
to roll
as one
of the
NFC's
top
contenders,
showcasing
a
balanced
attack
and
opportunistic
defense
that
looks
poised
for a
deep
playoff
run.
