NFL Power Rankings Week 12: Colts, Jaguars and Texans updates on Titans bye week
By Will Lomas
31. Cincinnati Bengals
Recap: The Bengals dodged a bullet today as they came pretty close to winning a game which has never been less of a good idea in 2019, but more on that later.
Ryan Finley looks like he is bound for a different league and whether that is the XFL or CFL, I don’t know. All I know is that he really doesn’t look like an NFL quarterback and I can’t tell if he is making that line worse or if that is just their quality level right now.
Joe Mixon had a nice run for a touchdown and the trio of Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap and Carl Lawson were good as usual, but that is about it which is what you would expect from a team with 0 wins
Outlook: Congratulations to the Bengals who seem to be the only “tanking” team in the NFL not hurt by the new questions arising around Tua Tagovailoa after his third bad injury in a year (one that will force him to miss the season).
Instead Bengals fans get the luxury of kicking back and watching an Ohio product in Joe Burrow who is dominating college football right now for the top-ranked LSU Tigers. For Bengals fans going forward, Saturdays are much more important than Sundays.
