The Bengals hit the field at Jerry’s World to wrap up NFL Week 14 with a primetime game under the lights (but no blinding sunshine) of ESPN Monday Night Football. For several weeks now, plenty of people wondered if this game would be flexed out in favor of a more appealing matchup — the Cowboys are terrible at home, and the Bengals’ exciting offense is completely undone by terrible defense.
But here we are, stuck with 4-8 Cincinnati against a 5-7 shadow of Jerry Jones’ dreams. Technically, both teams still have a shot at the postseason.
