Bengals Lose 3rd Straight

The Bengals offense tried to offset the Bengals defensive struggles but ended up losing their 3rd straight game by one score or less. They lost to the Commanders 38 – 33.

The Bengals defense struggled to stop 3rd down plays. Washington’s QB Daniels went 21 – 23 passing; 254 yards; 2 TD’s. Burrow and the Bengals offense ran the ball well and passed efficiently with Burrow throwing 29/38 for 324 yards and 3 TDs. Chase had 6 for 118 and 2 TD’s.

Either team did not punt as it seemed the game could be high scoring and it was. The Bengals offense was fun to watch but on the other hand it was frustrating watching the Bengals defense be able to stop 3rd or 4th down plays. One stop could have changed the course of the game but it never happened.

The Bengals defense needs to clean up a few things and play with the demeanor they did when they played the Chiefs. If you play all games like that then you will win a lot of games. The offense has found its form and with Tee Higgins back it adds the needed wrinkle into the offense.

The Bengals have 4 big games coming up playing Panthers, Ravens, Giants. and Browns. If they can catch fire now they can be 4-3 and 2-0 in AFC North which could give them an edge in AFC North standings. Bengals have 8 more games until their bye week. If they can go 6 -2 in next 8 games they will be 6 – 5 and will have 6 games left where they could finish 10-7 or 11-6 and be able to win the AFC North. It will not be easy but if there is anyone who could pull it off I believe this is the team that can. We will see what happens !!

Next up for the Bengals is traveling to Carolina and playing against “Red Rifle” Andy Dalton and the Panthers.

Let’s go Bengals and get the W train started! Who Dey!!!
