If you were standing on the ledge, ready to jump after the Cincinnati Bengals got off to an 0-2 start, Sunday’s win over the Jets should have been enough to get you to take a step back. The Bengals went into MetLife Stadium on Sunday with an 0-2 record and with their backs up against the wall. It’s weird to think of a game played in September as “must win,” but this one was, and the Bengals did what they needed to do, beating the Jets by a score of 27-12.
The offense was much improved and did most of their damage in their first half, where they led by a score of 20-6 after the first two quarters of play.
