The Cincinnati Bengals provided some major news for fans exiting the team’s big win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night in Week 13.
Two of the points boil down simply:
- The win, paried with the upcoming schedule, means they are very much in the playoff hunt still.
- Jake Browning’s offense provided some lessons for Joe Burrow and the coaching staff.
Beyond that, besides typical postgame stuff, one of the bigger items making the rounds was a viral moment for defense end Trey Hendrickson during Trevor Lawrence’s injury.
Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for December 6.
