Starting 0-1, 0-2, and even 0-3 is nothing new to the Cincinnati Bengals. Starting slow has been a pattern for the Bengals for the last couple years, and it always gets them into trouble year after year. It’s frustrating for the players, and surely for the fans, that Cincinnati can’t come out of the gates strong.
There are many reasons why a slow start can’t happen again. However, there are indicators that Cincinnati’s slow start streak stops in 2025.
Losing games right out of the gate most definitely sets the tone and mood for the season.
