Problem: The Patriots first loss of the season came in Cincinnati, as the Patriots struggled to gain any offense against a great Bengals defense. Tom Brady's consecutive games with a TD pass streak ended at 52, two games short of Drew Brees' record, against the same team which he had started the streak in 2010. From start to finish the Bengals defensive line led by Geno Atkins made mince meat of the Patriots offensive line. Brady was hit and sacked early and often on the day. Both teams' defenses played extremely well in the game The first quarter was tough, physically demanding, and scoreless with both teams' first two drives ending in punts. Andy Dalton drove the Bengals to the Patriots' 9-yard line, but was intercepted by Brandon Spikes. The scoring started in the second quarter. After a Bengals punt, two completions and a 15-yard penalty moved the ball to the Bengals 32 yard-line. However, Blount fumbled late in the 2nd quarter after being tackled by Carlos Dunlap with Reggie Nelson recovering at the Cincinnati 30. Dalton sustained a short, 49-yard drive that ended in a 39-yard field-goal by Mike Nugent. The big play was an 18-yard catch by A. J. Green on 3rd-and-5. The Patriots punted on their next possession, but forced a three-and-out on their next drive. Brady led the Patriots to the Bengals 24-yard line and Stephen Gostowski kicked a 42-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining in the first half to tie the game at 3-3. Cincinnati scored on their second drive of the second half. Marching down the field on a 13-play, 59-yard drive, eating 6:17 off the clock, that culminated in a 50-yard field goal by Nugent. On their first possession of the fourth quarter, the Bengals scored the only touchdown of the day, with a 14-play, 93-yard drive, taking 7:48 off the clock, scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run by BenJarvus Green-Ellis on 4th-and-goal, extending the lead to 13-3. Giovani Bernard had a 28-yard run on 3rd-and-15, to the Bengals 30 on the drive. On their next drive, the Patriots, aided by a 53-yard completion to Dobson, though Dobson momentarily fumbled, drove all the way to the Bengals 1-yard line, but Blount was stuffed for no gain on 1st-down and two straight incompletions for the Patriots to settle for a 19-yard field goal by Gostkowski, trimming the deficit to 13-6. On the Bengals next drive, McCourty forced Bernard to fumble with Mayo recovering at the Bengals 46. On the drive, Brady launched a deep pass to Dobson, who caught it momentarily, but it was punched out by Terrence Newman. After an incomplete pass intended for Amendola, Brady was sacked by Wallace Gilberry and the Patriots punted. After a Bengals three-and-out, the Patriots drove to the Cincinnati 27 yard line before throwing a final fade intended for Dobson, but the ball was under-thrown and intercepted by Pacman Jones with 0:17 seconds remaining, and the Patriots lost for the first time of the season. Brady completed just 18 of 38 passes for 197 yards and 4 sacks. Danny Amendola had 4 catches for 55 yards in his first game since the season-opener due to a knee injury. The Bengals out-gained the Patriots 348-241, had more first downs 21-15, led in time of possession 35:44-24:16. Both teams had two turnovers apiece.
