The Cincinnati Bengals started off hot and finished with a big 77-yard touchdown catch from A.J. Green to start their season off on the right foot with a win over the division rival Baltimore Ravens. Kicker Mike Nugent booted five field goals to put the Bengals up 15-0 in the first half.

Cincinnati’s defense was a bit of a disappointment and will need to step up their performance as the season rolls on and the offense will need to find a way to finish off their drives in the endzone, but a win is a win and the Bengals got a big one in the season opener.

The Bengals play the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, so we will have to see if they improve their redzone efficiency before breaking into the top ten.
