Cincinnati Bengals Week 3 Recap: Analytics, Injuries, Betting & Fantasy

Game result: Blown out 10-48 by Minnesota. Jake Browning threw a touchdown but also two interceptions. The defense allowed 34 points by halftime.

Analytics: Cincinnati scores 19.3 points per game, ranking 21st. Their run game produced just 21 yards, and the defense permitted 116 rushing yards to Jordan Mason.

Injuries: Running back Samaje Perine exited with a right thumb injury, and guard Dalton Risner left with a calf issue. Both will be monitored.

Betting: The Bengals were 3-point underdogs but lost by 38; Minnesota covered easily. The game went over the 41.5-point total.
