Studs and duds after Bengals stumble to 0-10 vs. Raiders

Winners and losers from Bengals vs. Raiders in Week 11.

A valiant defensive effort from the Cincinnati Bengals mattered little in Sunday’s 17-10 loss at the hands of the Oakland Raiders.

The Bengals fall to 0-10 on the season after Zac Taylor’s offense could only muster 246 total yards. Ryan Finley threw for just 115 yards and took five sacks in the process, rendering a strong Joe Mixon performance also a moot point.

Here are the winners and losers coming out of the loss.

The strong early showing was a sign of things to come, as Mixon finished with 15 carries for 86 yards (5.7 average).
