The 2024 preseason is over. No more starters in street clothes on the sidelines throughout the game. No more backup evaluations.
The fake stuff is over, and the real stuff is about to begin.
The Cincinnati Bengals faced off against the Indianapolis Colts in Paycor Stadium on Thursday night in an underwhelming offensive display, losing by a score of 27-14. The Bengals haven’t won a preseason game since August 27, 2022, and they haven’t had a winning record in the preseason since 2018 (not that it matters).
Here are some winners and losers from what I would call a “Thursday Night Snoozefest” if the Bengals weren’t one of the teams playing.
