Joe Mixon still continues to be a durable running back, even when he fails to have a healthy average from the line of scrimmage. We have yet to see what he can bring to the table and hopefully this leads to him being a larger part of this offense. He had nine pressures on Sunday,Īndrei Iosivas pulled in his first touchdown of his career which happened to be on his birthday. Sam Hubbard had a sack at the most crucial part of the game to help secure the win for Cincinnati. Trey Hendrickson racked up another sack and applied pressure from the edge throughout the entire night, as usual. While the secondary got burnt a few times on some go routes, they came in clutch when needed. Massive interceptions were reeled in by Cam Taylor-Britt and Mike Hilton. Seattle got into the red zone on multiple occasions, but the defense continuously caused turnover on downs, field goals, or turnovers. For now though, let’s just enjoy this win.

This division is wide open and I trust in their ability to find a way back into the playoffs this season. With the 49ers and Bills approaching next, it is crucial that Cincinnati finds a way to at least win one of those games. There is still a ton to improve on, but they have shown that they can play with anyone. They now have a record of 3-3 and head into a bye week where they look to get healthy and get this offense clicking again. After the horrendous start to begin the season, the Cincinnati Bengals have found a way to crawl back into contention.
