Bengals Winless in Preseason For Third Time in Franchise History

Cincinnati's backup offense failed to eclipse 20 points as the regular season ramps up.

CINCINNATI — Cincinnati closed the preseason on Saturday night with some history. According to PFN's Jay Morrison, the Bengals went winless in a preseason for just the third time in team history (0-4 in 1983 and 1999) after losing to Washington 21-19.

This season marked two losses and a tie as the team tried to carve out the best final roster possible. Bengals fans surely don't want results like those two other campaigns brought as Cincinnati went 7-9 in 1983 and 4-14 in 1999.

Uneven quarterback play from Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian had a lot to do with the 2023 winless run as Cincinnati weighs how to move forward with Joe Burrow's backup spot. Most of the offensive starters didn't get any run in the preseason, as the backups failed to hit 20 points in any game.

All eyes are on the franchise QB as the NFL world awaits his return and pen to paper on a contract extension.
