The Cincinnati Bengals secured their first win of the season with a 34-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers, improving their record to 1-3. The Bengals' running backs, Chase Brown and Zack Moss, were standout performers, combining for 170 yards and three touchdowns.
Quarterback Joe Burrow contributed significantly, completing 22 of 31 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns, despite throwing his first interception of the season. The Bengals' offense showcased versatility, relying on their running game while also executing explosive plays.
Defensively, rookie Daijahn Anthony made a crucial play by disrupting a fake punt, while Evan McPherson's two long field goals helped seal the win. However, Cam Taylor-Britt struggled in coverage, and the team's tackling remains a concern as they aim for playoff contention.
