Preseason football games can be overrated as easily as they can be underrated. While no one should go out and say all is good with the Cincinnati Bengals, you can make a fair argument that the glass isn’t half empty as much as it is half full.
The Bengals won a meaningless preseason game 23-13 that WAS important. Along the way, they found what could be a good backup quarterback, gave running back Joe Mixon a little work, and discovered that without A.J. Green, the receivers in Cincinnati are pretty good.
