Cincinnati took care of the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, scoring five touchdowns in a 36-21 home victory. The Bengals played above-average football across the board–to the point that there wasn’t even a player who stood out enough to be a strong frontrunner for our Weekly MVP award.
In the first quarter, the Bengals jumped out to a quick 14-3 lead at the end of the first quarter behind touchdown runs by each of the team’s two top running backs, Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard.
Although the Bengals’ running game got off to a slow start, it ended up thrashing through the Chiefs’ defense en route to four touchdowns and 102 yards rushing from the team’s one-two punch at running back.
