Bengals Tuesday Trenches: On the edge of a knife.
After opening the season with two consecutive victories, the Cincinnati Bengals have dropped to a 2-2 record following back-to-back defeats against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team now prepares for a Week 5 matchup against the winless Miami Dolphins.
Defensive struggles remain a primary concern, specifically regarding tackling consistency and secondary depth, with players like Jordan Battle facing scrutiny for recent performance lapses. Offensive line play is also under the microscope, as Orlando Brown Jr.
has struggled in pass protection while Amarius Mims continues to perform at a high level at right tackle. Joe Burrow faced a difficult outing against Jacksonville, throwing multiple interceptions, and the team is currently monitoring the health status of wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
