Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bengals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
There’s no way to get around it: It’s been a rough season for the Bengals, and last week was especially rough. The team is sitting at 3-7 and third in the AFC North heading into this week’s matchup against the Patriots. Ja’Marr Chase is suspended this week after spitting on Jalen Ramsey during last week’s loss to the Steelers, triggering a retaliation punch from Ramsey that got the Pittsburgh cornerback ejected from the game.
But there’s more that goes into fan confidence than just what’s happening right now, and there is at least one bright spot: the progress Joe Burrow is making as he works his way back from surgery to repair a severe turf toe injury.
How are you feeling about the Bengals heading into this week’s game? Take our survey, and chat about it with your fellow fans in the comments.
