Three Takeaways From Cincinnati Bengals' 17-7 Win Over New York Giants
It was an ugly win. Who cares? Sometimes you have to win ugly in the NFL. If this team made enough plays down the stretch in Week 1, they would've "won ugly" in their matchup with the Patriots. They didn't.Joe Burrow didn't have his best game. The offensive line had their hands full all night long. After Burrow's, the Bengals punted on five-straight possessions and then fumbled. Their longest drive over that span was seven plays.
BJ Hill and Trey Hendrickson led the way, but guys like Mike Hilton, DJ Turner II, Germaine Pratt and Cam Taylor-Britt made plays in big moments.It felt like the Bengals were going to let another win slip through their fingers—literally. Ja'Marr Chase had a key drop on third down that would've not only extended the drive, but could've been an explosive play.
The past few weeks, things haven't gone Cincinnati's way. When you lose four games by 15 combined points, you take any bounce you can get.Last week they got a break in overtime when Lamar Jackson fumbled, but they didn't take advantage of it. They did just enough on Sunday night to pull out the win.
