What are your thoughts on the Bengals Monday Night game?
The Cincinnati Bengals will be looking to get their first win on Monday Night Football against the Washington Commanders.
The Bengals are now the only team in the AFC North without a win as the Baltimore Ravens improved to 1-2 on Sunday. Uninspired play and poor luck has this team at 0-2 when a couple bounces could easily have them at 2-0. That is just how it goes, but this team is an offense waking up away from being right back into the running.
The Commanders are a rebuilding team counting on the No. 2 overall pick, quarterback Jayden Daniels, and second-year running back Brian Robinson Jr. offensively to keep things moving. Daniels has yet to throw a passing touchdown, but he and Robinson have combined for quite the potent running attack early in the season. Cincinnati’s defense, likely without defensive tackles Sheldon Rankins and BJ Hill, could have their hands full.
