Bengals avoid 0-12 start, beat Jets in Andy Daltons return as starter – ESPN

The Jets were held to 271 lawns. Cincinnati sacked Sam Darnold 4 times, with defensive end Carlos Dunlap representing 3 of those. Darnold was 28-for-48 passing for 239 backyards.

Even with the triumph, the Bengals still have a one-game edge over the Giants (2-10) in the race for the worst record and the No. 1 overall choice in the 2020 draft.

That was the last thing the gamers and coaches were worried about Sunday. Bengals wide receiver

A.J. Green, who has actually been out all year with an ankle injury, stated the event in the locker space was one that had not been seen in a while.

“Our first couple of years, we were so used to winning,” Green stated. “When you go on a streak like this, you constantly take it for granted. It felt good.”

CINCINNATI–

Bengals
quarterback Andy Dalton and first-year coach Zac Taylor hugged and traded a couple of pats to the chest before Dalton jogged onto the field for the final time on Sunday.

Later on in the locker room, after the Bengals got their first win of the season with a 22-6 success over the

New York Jets, Dalton gave Taylor the video game ball the devices personnel had protected in the joyous moments after the last whistle.

Before Sunday, the Bengals were the only winless group in the NFL and at risk of ending up being the 3rd group in league history to go 0-16. They avoided that fate with the win in Week 13 and offered Taylor his first triumph as a head coach.

After the video game, Taylor said the feeling was indescribable.

“It’s emotional,” he said. “You go through it with all these people. To lastly get it, it does feel really excellent.”

Before Sunday’s game, the Bengals were bogged down in their worst start to a season in franchise history. Cincinnati lost its first 11 games, surpassing the 10-game losing streak at the start of the 1993 season. The Bengals also dropped 13 consecutive video games dating to last season, which was also a team record.

Versus the Jets, Cincinnati’s offense was boosted by the return of Dalton, who was reinserted into the beginning lineup after spending three video games on the bench. One day after the Bengals’ 16-10 loss to the Steelers in Week 12, Taylor said he was going back to Dalton because he felt the ninth-year player out of TCU offered the Bengals the finest opportunity to win.

Dalton delivered in a performance that yielded several individual records. He was 22-for-37 passing for 243 backyards and one touchdown. His 17-yard scoring pass to

Tyler Boyd in the very first quarter was the 196th of his career and broke Ken Anderson’s record for most profession passing touchdowns by a Bengal. Dalton also exceeded Anderson’s franchise mark for a lot of career completions.

Dalton said he felt the team enjoyed its best week of practice all season. With the win over the Jets, the Bengals lastly had something to reveal for all of their work going back to the start of Taylor’s very first offseason.

“For it to lastly pay off, get our first win of the season, get Zac his first win of his coaching career, all that type of things, it’s a big relief,” Dalton said.

The loss was traditionally substantial for the Jets (4-8), who had their three-game winning streak snapped. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Jets are the very first team in NFL history with multiple losses in one season to teams who got in the matchup 0-7 or even worse– the Jets lost to the

Dolphins in Week 9, offering Miami its very first win of the season.
