Losing as a two-score favorite on the road is quite the wake up call.
The Cincinnati Bengals were stunned by the New York Jets in East Rutherford this week. Despite players and coaches saying the right things leading up to the loss, they were inexplicably outplayed by one of the worst performing clubs in the league.
It’s sobering games like this one that can make teams stronger, or break them for the remainder of the year. The Bengals believe the former will occur, and with how well their rookie class is playing, that’s certainly possible.
