4-3. Previous: 2nd. Cincinnati Bengals. 3. team. 56.

The Cincinnati Bengals are the NFL’s proverbial September team. Going 4-1 to start the season, now with back to back loses heading into Week 9, the Bengals must figure something out. The defense is still making an impact but going up against the Chiefs makes it much more difficult. They were destroyed for over 550 total yards, as this 45-10 loss on primetime is going to hurt for sure. Andy Dalton (Mr. September) only threw for 148 yards, a touchdown, and a pick. Joe Mixon only managed 50 yards on 13 carries.

This was a total disaster. The Bengals couldn’t amass over 240 total yards and allowed two special teams/defensive scores. Cincinnati hosts a rising Buccaneers team, so they MUST put this one in the rear view and try to salvage this crumbling season.
