Cincinnati Bengals improve to 3-2 following win against Dolphins
Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals secured a 31-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins on October 11, improving their record to 3-2, their best start since the 2021 Super Bowl season. The Bengals focused on a stronger running game, achieving a season-high 31 rushing attempts and gaining 119 rushing yards. Despite the win, questions remain about their performance against a struggling Dolphins team. Cincinnati will enter their bye week before facing the Baltimore Ravens on October 25, where they will need to address weaknesses such as a porous defense that allowed 217 rushing yards to Miami.
