The first half of the season for the Bengals the went 5-4. After their BYE week they came in refocused as the AFC North is very close in standings. Bengals went to Vegas and beat the Raiders 32 -13 and yesterday followed up that win and came back home to face the Steelers. Cincinnati came out on fire and crushed the Steelers 41-10.

With all phases of the game playing solid and having no major injuries to any of their players they are playing the Bengals football that I knew they could play as I have watched them grow and become better each week dating back to last year when the last 2 seasons have been a struggle. Zach Taylor has finally able to have the players he wants on his team and in his 3rd season is playing at the level I had hoped would have been when Dalton and Green were still on the Bengals.

This season shows the changing of the guard with Burrow healthy and leading the way. Chase is playing lights out as a rookie WR and Mixon continues to play at a high level with the offense leaning on him as it gets colder outside. The defense has a great mix of veterans and young players making them a top 10 defense again.

At 7-4 the Bengals are in 2nd place in the AFC North. The Ravens beat the Browns last night placing them in 1st place in the AFC North at 8-3. Browns are in 3rd place at 6-6 and the Steelers is last place at 5-5-1.

Bengals remaining schedule are playing against the Chargers, 49ers, Broncos, Ravens, Chiefs, and Browns. Ravens face the Steelers, Browns, Packers, Bengals, Rams, and the Steelers. If the Bengals can beat the Ravens again it will be a sweep of the Ravens along with already sweeping the Steelers. Bengals play the Browns one more time and if they can get the W they will split this season 1-1. A lot of upside for the Bengals as the remaining 6 games will be fun to watch and see what happens!!!
