Zac Taylor praises Dan Pitcher for play-calling in Bengals' preseason game

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor commended offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher for his play-calling during the preseason game against the Chicago Bears. Following a 27-9 victory, Taylor remarked that Pitcher did an excellent job. The Bengals showcased an effective offense, with quarterbacks Josh Johnson and Sean Clifford completing 25 of 38 passes for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The focus on the running game is expected to increase under Pitcher's direction. It remains uncertain if this play-calling approach will become a regular practice moving forward.
