Well, the Cincinnati Bengals were two points shy of completing the preseason sweep. Sure, the results of the summer games are largely meaningless, but a 4-0 start heading into the regular season would have felt nice after such a tumultuous offseason and two straight losing campaigns.
Nevertheless, there were a lot of takeaways from the Bengals’ 27-26 loss, as the team attempts to concoct the best possible roster for the 2018 season.
Offseason additions and messages seem to be working:
Jeff Driskel and Logan Woodside: Unfortunately for Matt Barkley, his evening was cut short from a knee injury suffered on a low hit.
