The Bengals lost 48-10 to the Vikings, their worst defeat ever, after Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury.

The Cincinnati Bengals suffered their worst loss in franchise history, a 48-10 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings, after Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury. Backup quarterback Jake Browning struggled, throwing two interceptions, including a pick-six, while the offense managed just 53 rushing yards. The defense allowed 352 yards and committed penalties, exposing deep flaws. Despite standout efforts from rookie Kris Jenkins Jr., the team’s struggles on both sides of the ball raised concerns about their playoff chances. Meanwhile, the Browns upset the Packers, the Bears' Caleb Williams shined with four touchdowns, and Atlanta benched Michael Penix Jr. amid uncertainty over his role.
