Bengals Get Much Needed Win 34 – 24

Bengals headed to the Carolina Panthers and faced off against for Bengals franchise QB Andy Dalton. Bengals players knew Dalton would be steady and not faulter as he has shown the Panthers why he is their starting QB. Dalton had a solid game going 25/40 for 220 yards; 2 TDs and 1 INT with a QB Rating 83.3. Bengals defense showed up and made enough plays this game to allow Burrow and the offense to take grasp of the game. Burrow went 22/31 for 232 yards; 2 TDs and 1 INT with a QB Rating 100.5.

Ja’Marr Chase had 3 catches for 85 yards and 2 TDs. Tee Higgins had 6 for 60 yards. Burrow had 8 different people with receptions during this game. The running game was on point as RB Moss had 15 carries for 51 yards and RB Chase Brown had 15 carries for 80 yards and 2 TDs.

Burrow and the offense have found a good rhythm. They are showing they can point points up on the scoreboard. Slowly the defense is getting back some people that got hurt either right before game 1 vs Patriots as well as people that got hurt during game 1. Next week Bengals host the Ravens. RB Henry has been a nice addition to the Ravens. They are a run first and quick short/medium pass team with occasional deep throws. Bengals need to try and contain them as much as they can with running with giving up some yards but the question is can they make the necessary stops at key times to eliminate big plays. If they can Bengals can control the ball on offense and keep Jackson & Henry off the field. Time for Bengals to get this next W to get to 2 -3 before going to New York to play the Giants in game 6.

Who Dey!!!
