The Bengals escaped disaster with a strong finish after a rocky start, lowlighted by Trent Taylor's fumble then highlighted by Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase playing their best game of the season. The offense evolved, and while there are certainly concerns with defensive injuries piling up and running game woes, there was plenty to be encouraged with after the Bengals got out of New Orleans at 3-3 and tied for first in the AFC North.
