The Bengals beat the Buccaneers and in the beginning it was all fun and games. But then it turned into a slop-fest that featured the Bengals allowing the Buccaneers to score 18-straight fourth quarter points to climb back into the game. The Bengals blew a 27-6 lead and were lucky to come away with a victory after Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced Jameis Winston and got the Bucs going.
But in the end, a win is a win and the Bengals now enter their bye week with a 5-3 record and are in second place in the AFC North.
