The Cincinnati Bengals suffered yet another close loss, falling 34-27 to the Los Angeles Chargers despite a strong second-half performance from quarterback Joe Burrow. This defeat marks their sixth one-score loss of the season, leaving them at 4-7 and struggling to keep playoff hopes alive.

Burrow's impressive stats, including leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, contrast sharply with the team's inability to close out games. Coach Zac Taylor remains steadfast in his approach, resisting major changes during the bye week.
