Bengals

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

A 37-14 dismantling of Arizona, with J.Burrow hitting J.Chase for 22 early and E.McPherson drilling a 57-yarder, is exactly the kind of complete performance that makes this stretch hurt more, not less. M.Wilson's 38-yard touchdown was a brief scare and then a footnote. The talent is obviously there. The question fans keep circling: where was this in September, and what does anyone do with the answer now?

What fans said

• “But *damn* is it frustrating for Cincinnati turn on like this at the end of the season when they are out of it. A lot of 'what ifs'.”
