The Cincinnati Bengals entered Week 3 with an opportunity to be undefeated heading into Week 4 for the first time since 2015. Unfortunately, they fumbled that opportunity, and fumbled, and fumbled, and fumbled.
The Bengals set two franchise records in Week 3 against the Vikings in Minnesota, and they weren’t good ones.
First, late in the third quarter, when Carson Wentz and the Vikings offense scored to take a 48-3 lead, the Bengals set a new record for how much they trailed an opponent at any point in franchise history.
Prior to Sunday’s loss to the Vikings, they trailed the Saints by a score of 37 points in 2018.
Browning did lead the Bengals on a touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter, but that was the only time they’d score a touchdown on Sunday, and the last points they’d put on the board.
The final score was 48-10, which set another record for the Bengals. That loss to the Saints in 2018 was by 37 points. The Bengals topped that by one point on Sunday.
The Bengals have a long week to regroup before they face off against the Broncos in Denver on Monday Night in Week 4. Much regrouping is obviously needed.
