The Bengals will now finish the remainder of the season with Joe Burrow sidelined, and while that dramatically lowers their chances of winning right now, the Bengals still have plenty of hope for the future.
Brandon Allen looks like he’ll have first dibs at quarterback with Burrow out, and considering his only competition is Ryan Finley, Allen might offer the Bengals’ best chance of winning. Allen wasn’t drastically better than Finley last season when both quarterbacks were starting for different teams, but the Giants are easily the most winnable game the Bengals have left. If Allen is going to show his stuff, this is the game for him to do it.
