Dexter Lawrence attributes Bengals loss to self-inflicted mistakes

Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence attributed the team's 30-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Week 3 divisional matchup to self-inflicted errors rather than Pittsburgh's offensive performance.

Following the game, Lawrence stated that the Bengals' mistakes were what kept the game close and ultimately allowed the Steelers to win. He noted that the team's performance 'wasn't us' and emphasized that the goal for the season was not to go undefeated.

The Steelers' offense recorded 411 total yards, including 138 rushing yards, during the victory. Lawrence, who joined the Bengals from the New York Giants in the offseason, indicated that the team intends to move forward and prepare for their upcoming game against the Jaguars.
