We did win the turnover battle.

The one glaring point here is that The Packers did not take advantage of the turnovers, only getting 13 points.(or it could be said The Bengals D stepped up)
Packers go up 30-14, while controlling the ball and the clock, then comes the 2 turnovers which The Bengals scored td's after each.
So yes, this one game, The Packers won the turnover battle but lost the game, that is a rarity, but it is what the teams did after the turnovers that determined the outcome.
The Bengals capitalized on them The Packers didn't.
When the Packers were +3 in turnovers they cut the lead to 14-13 then stretched it to 30-14.
Once again, all you can focus on are 2 things, time of possession and my favorite, The Packers, as a team or individually "shitting" themselves.
Once again I have to show you that neither has a huge determination on the outcomes of games.
Time of Possession, most of the time is altered by turnovers.
Shitting yourself I HAVE NEVER HAD A CLUE how that pertains to a football game, and have never found an official stat called by that name.
In your world I am sure it exists, not in mine.
