ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Cincinnati Bengals are 1–0 after holding off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a thrilling 33–27 victory—and their new-look defense stole the show!
Cincinnati forced four fumbles, scored 24 points off turnovers and received a 27-yard scoop-and-score from Demetrius Knight Jr. Joe Burrow threw for 254 yards and a touchdown, Mike Gesicki led the team with 78 receiving yards and a score, Chase Brown found the end zone and Evan McPherson delivered four field goals—including bombs from 55 and 58 yards.
It wasn’t perfect. A costly pick-six helped Tampa Bay fight back, and the Bengals had to withstand a late Buccaneers rally. But when Cincinnati needed to finish the game, Burrow and the offense successfully ran out the final 3:19.
We break down the defense’s dominant debut, the biggest offensive performances, what still needs to be corrected and what this 1–0 start tells us about the 2026 Bengals.
Who Dey!
