The Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t afford a Week 3 loss to the New York Jets after dropping the first two games of the season and avoided that fate with Sunday’s 27-12 win.
The Joe Burrow offense looked better prepared than it was over the first two games and as a result put up big numbers right out of the gates. As expected, the defense put on its usual stout performance, this time against backup quarterback Joe Flacco.
That puts the Bengals at 1-2 before a quick turnaround for a Thursday night game against Miami. Here’s a look at quick takeaways and details to know from the win.
