To say that the Cincinnati Bengals needed this win over the Las Vegas Raiders is an understatement. To gain some momentum heading into a big, road divisional game next week and build confidence, Cincinnati needed a dominant performance, and it delivered.
Here is the best and worst of the Bengals’ 41-24 win over the Raiders.
Winners
Joe Burrow
The Bengals’ star quarterback started red-hot, going 15 for his first 15 attempts. His pinpoint accuracy was needed after the defense let up an opening drive touchdown to the Raiders. It obviously gave way to some incompletions, but Burrow continues his MVP pace with his immense efficiency despite the big pick-six in the fourth quarter.
