The Cincinnati Bengals drew the NFL's short straw in their Week 8 matchup against the New York Jets, as Zac Taylor's team was the pommel horse for new head coach Aaron Glenn in what became Gang Green's first win of the 2025 season. Simply put, this was a shocking performance.
While Joe Flacco ran Taylor's offense well enough to put up 38 points against a Jets unit that had allowed just 26 points in the last two weeks combined, the Bengals' defense looked utterly lost against a quarterback in Justin Fields who hadn't scored a first-half touchdown since Week 1 and received a verbal lashing from owner Woody Johnson.
