The Cincinnati Bengals found themselves as the laughingstock of the NFL in Week 8, as Zac Taylor oversaw a pitiful performance that involved the 0-7 New York Jets putting up 39 points in three quarters and getting their first win of the season at the expense of the embattled coach.
Taylor tried to shake up the defense by benching veteran captain Logan Wilson to roll with a pair of rookies in second-rounder Demetrius Knight Jr. and fourth-rounder Barrett Carter. Jets quarterback Justin Fields and running back Breece Hall welcomed the change, as they thoroughly dominated the neophyte men in the middle.
