The Cincinnati Bengals now have two preseason games in the books with their latest coming against the Washington Football Team. Let’s dive into five quick takeaways from preseason game No. 2.
1. Bengals offense looked flat
It’s only preseason and that’s the reason I won’t panic about the Bengals’ lackluster offense and why you shouldn’t panic either. Another thing to keep in mind with this group is that Joe Burrow isn’t playing in the preseason, or at least he hasn’t yet. Brandon Allen got the start for the Bengals in this one and the offense operated like a unit that was without its starting quarterback.
