CINCINNATI -- In the aftermath of a third straight loss to start the season, the Cincinnati Bengals were caught between feelings.
There was a sense of frustration and a confounding level of disappointment following the 38-33 loss to the Washington Commanders at home on Monday night. Quarterback Joe Burrow made it clear the team is far from being a playoff contender after its first 0-3 start since 2019, the year before the Bengals selected him with the No. 1 overall pick.
