At 5-10, Cincinnati faces a crucial juncture with matchups against two of the league’s lesser-performing teams, Arizona and Cleveland, in the coming weeks. Following an impressive 45-point performance against Miami, the team is riding a wave of confidence that could serve them well in these final games.
Record-Breaking Performance
The Bengals’ offensive explosion last Sunday marked their highest scoring game since 2013, showcasing a potent attack that has fans and players alike buzzing with excitement. Head coach Zac Taylor shared a glimpse into the game plan, revealing his playful banter with star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
“I told Ja’Marr to come punch me in the stomach if we hadn’t thrown double go by the midway point in the second quarter,” Taylor joked. “We got to it a little earlier than I had initially planned. We were backed up, and it felt like the moment to go do it. And Tee did what Tee does. He goes up and gets it.”
Upcoming Challenge
The Bengals will take on the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Paycor Stadium. As the team looks to build on their recent success, they aim to continue their scoring streak against weaker opponents, further solidifying their offensive identity as they head toward the end of the season.
