Through five weeks, the Bengals have yet to put together a complete game. We’ve seen them explode out of the gate, and come from behind with a second half surge multiple times now. As a result, they’ve achieved three fourth-quarter comebacks and have the second-best record in the AFC. Is the way they’re winning sustainable? Probably not, but it’s sure as hell been fun to watch.
Part of the fun has been the splash plays that a couple of rookies have been making. First-round pick Billy Price may still be sidelined, but early returns on their investments after Price are very promising, and Sunday’s game ended up being exceptional for a specific two.
