The Bengals entered today’s game against the Giants in desperate need of a win after dropping their last three contests, and a under the current playoff format, no NFL team has ever reached the playoffs after a 3-6 start, making today’s game a must-win for the boys in stripes. They came out and played like such, dominating from the opening kick-off as they cruised to a victory.

The defense kept New York out of the endzone for 3 quarters and 12 minutes while Andy Dalton dissected the Giants en route to throwing a career-high four touchdowns to four different receivers.

On the injury front, Adam Jones left the game with a left calf injury. Vontaze Burfict left with an inured knee. Will update you as we get more details on those injuries.

We’ll have a full-recap shortly, and for now, here’s the box score from today’s thrashing of the defending Super Bowl Champions:
