Ravens 24 Bengals 0
And with that, officially, the Bengals (4-10) have been eliminated. That’s three straight seasons missing the playoffs, with a combined record of 22-26.
What a poor performance. One that will be remembered for revealing a lot about a lot. Non competitive. Embarrassed. They got punked and had their lunch money taken. Boos were heard throughout the game.
It was the first shutout of Joe Burrow’s NFL career. It’s their first time being shutout at home since the 2017 opener.
That’s four losses by 22+ points this season: 22 Ravens, 22 Steelers, 25 Broncos, 38 Vikings.
Burrow threw a 95-yard Pick 6. The OL was abysmal. Penalties killed. Missed assignments aplenty.
