The Cincinnati Bengals won their preseason opener against the Buccaneers on Saturday night and Jacques Patrick was the star on offense.

Patrick, a former undrafted running back out of Florida State, is looking to make the Bengals’ final roster and took another step toward doing so with his performance on Saturday.

Patrick had 15 carries and dashed for 71 yards with a long of 24 yards. He looked good and while not many people thought Patrick had much of a chance at making the roster, he definitely upped his stock with what he was able to do over the weekend.
