It’s about time for the Cincinnati Bengals to go into full-panic mode after a 1-3 start to the season, and Joe Burrow is still dealing with his calf injury that first happened in the preseason.
Going into the year, this game against the Arizona Cardinals wasn’t one to worry about and seemed like an automatic win. Now it’s a must-win game for the Bengals, and the Cardinals have actually been a tougher team to beat than expected. They’re also 1-3 but have a big win over the Dallas Cowboys and have played other teams closely for most of their games.
