• Last weekend, the Bengals gave up a 15-point lead to the previously winless New York Jets and allowed a touchdown in the final minute for a 39-38 home loss.
• This weekend, the Bengals scored two touchdowns in a 49-second span to erase Chicago’s 14-point lead and go up by one with 50 seconds left, only to then give up a 58-yard touchdown with 17 seconds remaining to lose in another crazy shootout home loss, this time 47-42.
