Early ESPN score projections aren’t very fond of the Zac Taylor-led Bengals.
However, this was to be expected. A new head coach without much experience is inheriting a core of players entering their 30s along with a defense that has had trouble staying healthy in recent years. The youth on the roster is promising, but largely unproven as well.
ESPN’s Mike Clay projected the scores of all 256 games for the 2019 season. The Bengals ended up with half their win total from 2018.
Cincinnati is projected to win in Week 2, Week 13 and Week 16.
