Welcome to the Week 1 grades.
The 2024 NFL season is off and running and like we do every year, we’re going to be grading every game that’s played between now and January.
The first week of the season is usually the most unpredictable week of the year and the Bengals found that out the hard way on Sunday against New England. In a game where the Bengals were favored by 7.5 points, the Patriots were able to pull off a shocking upset.
The slow start for the Bengals has become an annual problem in Cincinnati: The Bengals are now 1-10 over the first two weeks of the season under coach Zac Taylor.
The Bengals weren’t the only AFC North team to get off to an ugly start. The NFL teams in Ohio went 0-2 on Sunday with the Browns getting blown out by the Cowboys.
