Although the Cincinnati Bengals seemed to get back on the right track with a Week 3 win on Monday Night Football, things came crashing back to Earth against the Tennessee Titans this past Sunday.
Can the Bengals save their season with a Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on tap? Or is it already too late? We dive into all that and more on the latest edition of the Pro Football Network Bengals Podcast.
PFN Bengals Podcast: The Bengals Are Facing a Must-Win Game in Week 5
On this week’s episode of the PFN Bengals Podcast, we review how Cincinnati fell to 1-3 with a 27-3 loss to Tennessee.
Should the Bengals have sat Joe Burrow once the score was out of hand, even if he wanted to keep playing?

That’s not our only question about Zac Taylor’s decision-making Sunday. We also discussed whether Cincinnati should have attempted two critical fourth-down conversions and wondered if the Bengals need to start taking a more aggressive approach.
How will Tee Higgins’ rib injury affect Cincinnati’s offense moving forward? The Bengals may have to lean into the run game if they don’t have their WR2 for multiple games.
And what about Lou Anarumo’s defense? The Bengals allowed three quick second-quarter scores to the Titans, which essentially put the game out of reach. Why does Cincinnati keep giving up so many explosive plays?
Plus, what happens if the Bengals lose to the Cardinals in Week 5?
We’ll be returning to your airwaves each and every week — join us next week when we recap Bengals-Cardinals and preview Cincinnati’s Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
