Bengals Offense On Track
The Cincinnati Bengals offense has finally gotten back on track, but will it be enough heading into NFL Week 4 where they are -3.5 point favorites against the Cleveland Browns?
The Cincinnati Bengals came into the season with high hopes, but things haven’t worked out for the team so far. The Bengals are now 0-3 and find themselves in a hole that might be too deep to climb out of.
The reason the Bengals remain winless this season is their offense has been one of the worst in the NFL. After going without an offensive touchdown in their first two games of the season, the Bengals decided to part ways with their offensive coordinator.
At the time of the move, most people outside the organization thought the team was panicking and made a knee jerk reaction. However, after Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, it appears the Bengals made the right move.
On Sunday, Cincinnati was able to score its first offensive touchdown of the season on their very first possession of the game. Granted the touchdown came against a Packers team dealing with a lot of injuries on both sides of the ball, the Bengals will take them anyway they come.
The Bengals ended up scoring 24 points in the game, and led the Packers for most of the game. In the end, it was their defense, which had kept them in their previous two games that let them down.
Cincinnati’s defense allowed Aaron Rodgers to rally his team and make a comeback. Green Bay managed to tie the game in regulation before sending it to overtime where they won by three points.
While the Bengals are disappointed in their 0-3 start to the season, they have to be happy that their offense finally got going and with the Steelers and Ravens struggling, they still have a chance to win the division. Our NFL Week 4 predictions for the Bengals would be to take them to cover the -3.5 point spread against the Bears on Sunday, October 1st, 2017.
With their next game coming against the Cleveland Browns, the Bengals have a great chance to win their first game of the season on Sunday.
