'Unacceptable': Bengals' Zac Taylor addresses nightmarish first half, fumbles vs Vikings

Zac Taylor: "Anytime you have four turnovers in the first half, two for touchdowns, one as you're trying to run out the clock ... it's unacceptable."

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor talked to CBS' Tracy Wolfson about his team's nightmarish first half during the NFL Week 3 game against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Bengals trailed 34-3 at the half.

The Bengals had four turnovers in the first half for the third time since 2000. Quarterback Jake Browning threw an interception, and Noah Fant, Ja'Marr Chase and Samaje Perine fumbled during the second quarter.

"Anytime you have four turnovers in the first half, two for touchdowns, one as you're trying to run out the clock at the end of half, it's unacceptable," Taylor said to Wolfson. "So we've got to get it fixed. We've got to play hard the second half. Obviously the score is what the score is. We've got a lot of pride to play for right now."
