Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 18 of 33 passes for 269 yards and a touchdown, but the yardage totals obscured the truth of the Week 3 game. Anarumo consistently took away his initial read and let his talent win the day. Stafford&#8217;s sack seemed impending every time he held onto the football.<\/p>\n<p>In the win, Cincinnati had six sacks. Some were brilliantly timed blitzes that delivered Stafford a free rusher. The Bengals&#8217; defensive line just dominated at times. Cincinnati also achieved success by being disciplined in the face of McVay&#8217;s misdirections. They were able to easily detect screens and fit the run, limiting Williams to less than four yards per attempt.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;His calf is the franchise.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ColinCowherd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ColinCowherd<\/a> on Bengals&#39; win over Rams <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vnc67Yx9fW\">pic.twitter.com\/vnc67Yx9fW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Herd w\/Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHerd\/status\/1706712738259677375?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the midst of the craziness, Lou Anarumo had no idea what was going on Monday night.
