The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for a true must-win game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
The Bengals were stunned, for the second time this season, inside of Paycor Stadium, falling to the Washington Commanders and dropping to 0-3 on the year.
One storyline from the gut-wrenching loss is the beginning of the Amarius Mims era after a brutal season-ending injury to Trent Brown.
Mims stepped in and played very well for his first real NFL action outside of training camp.
The rookie tackle gave up a sack, but it looked like a miscommunication rather than the first-round pick being badly beaten.
