Week 10 really might have been different if Andy Dalton were playing and A.J. Green was finally healthy and back in the lineup. With both those two variables, and given that it’s a home game after the bye week, the Cincinnati Bengals might have been a good pick against the Ravens.

However, no Dalton and again no Green. So given that, can fans find any cause for a win on Sunday? Well, a lot of things would have to break just right, and given Finely is very much of an unknown factor, it’s almost impossible to find hope for a win.

Then again, crazy can happen on any given Sunday. Just not this Sunday.

When you’re 0-8, it’s because you have all kinds of issues, and in Cincinnati, there are all kinds of issues. From injuries to bad defense, an invisible running game, and a rookie quarterback, the Bengals can only hope to keep it close and pray for a miracle. Oh, I almost forgot to mention an abysmal offensive line.

Finley gets his first NFL start, but it won’t be as positive as his preseason experience. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson reminds Bengals fans what a potential league MVP looks like. All in all, Cincinnati loses another and falls to 0-9.
