The Cincinnati Bengals came out of the loss to the Green Bay Packers in the first week of the preseason with some notable takeaways across different positions.
Some of this is reflected in the Pro Football Focus grades for the game.
There, some expected names had some really strong showings in the grades department. Others expected to typically grade well didn’t turn in the best numbers.
These are grain-of-salt details, of course, considering Week 1 of the preseason always turns out some weird results (especially for rookies) and the fact grades are just one part of a puzzle when it comes to analysis.
