Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Andre Ellington

12. Cincinnati Bengals (LW: 6)

The Bengals need another bye week to figure out some things. Since the team’s 3-0 start, Cincinnati has lost two and tied with Carolina. Andy Dalton is struggling without A.J. Green, and this defense is not nearly as formidable.

What to know: The Bengals had 27 total yards in the first half, the fewest by any team in a half since Week 3 of last season (18 – Giants, Rams). The Bengals did not earn a first down until the :59 mark of the second quarter, which came via a Colts penalty (ESPN Stats & Info).
