Don’t look now, but the Cincinnati Bengals might have started turning things around.
OK, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but a two-game winning streak for head coach Marvin Lewis and Co. is worth pointing out.
The Bengals held Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor to just 166 passing yards and a lowly 63.6 passer rating during Cincinnati’s 20-16 home win. More impressively, Bills running back LeSean McCoy was limited to an average of just 3.3 yards per carry.
That’s a winning formula against Buffalo’s offense.
And while the Bengals offense struggled to find its own rhythm, including quarterback Andy Dalton’s two interceptions, at least Lewis has to be feeling pretty good about his team’s momentum heading into its bye week, followed by a key AFC North bout with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7.
