Coming into the season, the @Bengals were the underdogs of the AFC North, having not made the playoffs since 2015.
In @JoeyB's first game back since tearing his ACL in Week 11, 2020, it was a couple of rookies who stepped up in their first career games.
@Real10jayy__ hauled in his first TD before @McPherson_Evan kicked the game winning FG with no time left.
Ja’Marr Chase continued his unbelievable start to his career with a pair of TD catches in Week 3 to lead the Bengals over the Steelers 24-10.
It was Cincinnati's first win in Pittsburgh since 2015.
The Bengals capped off an impressive 5-2 start to the season in Baltimore, handling the Ravens 42-17.

After losing two straight games, Cincinnati looked strong in Week 11 when they beat their upcoming playoff opponent - the Raiders.
@joemainmixon continued his stellar season with a couple of TDs. Mixon finished third in the NFL in rushing this season.
After an up-and-down next month, the Bengals offense clicked in Weeks 16 and 17.
In the two-game stretch, Burrow threw for 971 yards. McPherson’s third game-winning FG of the season clinched the division when Cincinnati beat the Chiefs in Week 17.
