EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —
The Cincinnati Bengals are still in search of their first win of the 2022 season and, for the second straight week, they’ll look to get win number one on the road, as they head to the Big Apple to take on the New York Jets.
The start of the season has gone far from expected for the Bengals: The offensive line hasn’t been the instant cure-all fans were hoping it’d be, the offense has started slow to begin with and, as stated above, the Bengals are still winless.
Joe Burrow, Zac Taylor and the rest of the Bengals were right to not push the panic button when speaking to the media this week: There’s 15 games left, and the AFC North is far from over – only one team has a winning record prior to kickoff on Sunday, and that’s because it was an all-divisional affair on Thursday night (Browns bested the Steelers).
However, a loss on Sunday and alarm bells could begin to sound, especially with a short week on the Horizon: Since 1979, only six teams have gone 0-3 and still made the playoffs.
But, there’s time to worry about that when the time comes. We still have four quarters ahead of us and, if the Bengals offense gets started on the right foot, we could be in for something of a shootout.
