The Cincinnati Bengals defense made enough plays to support an offense that got surprisingly little going, and they managed a 17-7 victory over the New York Giants.

Both teams had a tough time executing anything. Daniel Jones threw a horrible interception as he was getting pressured, and missed on several other throws. The Bengals’ offense wasn’t much better but at least Cincinnati found one unexpected highlight.

Burrow, who never had a run longer than 23 yards in his first 57 NFL games, took off on a third-and-18 and just kept running because there were no Giants defenders around him. He scored on a stunning 47-yard touchdown. It was a nice play for Burrow, but also a red flag that the Giants allowed Burrow to break a run like that.

Both teams needed a win. The Giants were 2-3 coming into the game and the Bengals were 1-4. And it was there for the taking, but neither team seemed too excited to grab it.

The Dodgers had MLB’s best record this season and won a five-game NLDS against an impressive Padres team, but no team has been hotter for longer than the Mets.

The Jets have shockingly fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday after a 2-3 start to the season.

Saleh was 20-36 as the Jets coach five games into his fourth season on the job. The Jets entered the 2024 season with Super Bowl aspirations as quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned from a season-ending injury in 2023.

The Jets have not looked good in the early part of the season, though, and have dropped the last two games. The final straw was a 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London on Sunday, a game in which Aaron Rodgers threw three interceptions and the offense looked lost for much of the game.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will be the interim head coach.

Saleh had one year remaining on the contract he signed in 2021.
