With 14:09 left in the second quarter, Gesicki attempted to block linebacker Edgerrin Cooper. Cooper ran past the tight end and clutched the left side of his chest. Gesicki left the field and entered the medical tent to get evaluated. The team later announced he was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Zac Taylor explains what's not working for Bengals' offense

The Cincinnati Bengals are anything but competitive this NFL season. They have lost four games in a row and have been outscored 140-55 over that span. The addition of Joe Flacco gave them a spark, but it wasn't enough against the Packers.

After the game was over, Taylor discussed what the team is missing on offense. The coach lamented that they couldn't move the ball as desired.

"The common thread is we're not moving the ball, not scoring enough points," Taylor said. "Frustrated we weren't able to pull it out."

Cincinnati will return to action on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
