It wasn't pretty at times, but the Cincinnati Bengals went into MetLife Stadium and scored a 17-7 win over the New York Giants to move to 2-4 on the season. A loss would have been crushing, dropping the team to 1-5 and all but losing the season. At 2-4 with some winnable games on the horizon, the Bengals may have saved their season.
Entering the week, the Bengals were tied for the worst record at 1-4 and were sitting at No. 2 in the draft order, behind only the New England Patriots. The Bengals won, while the Patriots, Jaguars, Browns, and Panthers all fell to 1-5.
