The Bengals sure know how to get out of the bye week on the wrong foot. With their record of 5-3, they’re neck and neck with the 5-2-1 Steelers at the top of the AFC North, but it’s hard to feel confident looking at the rest of the season.
In predictable fashion, the Bengals were inactive at the trade deadline, and shared last-minute halloween costumes while other teams were improving their roster. To top it all off, the news of A.J. Green’s injury revealed the Pro Bowl wide receiver would miss “at least” the team’s next two games, adding on to the numerous other injuries the team is suffering.
