The Bengals reached a big scoring milestone against the Ravens The Bengals are 2-0 after a 34-23 win over the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. If that score looks familiar

It’s also the first time an NFL team has scored at least 34 points in each of their first two games since the 2013 Broncos.In case you forgot, the 2013 Broncos made it to the Super Bowl. It’s hard for an NFL team to be sharp enough to score that many points in each of their first two games.

A former stalwart left tackle worthy of a ring of honor induction (if the Bengals did that sort of thing)
C.J. Uzomah Jersey White , Whitworth had never tasted a playoff win, going 0-6 with the Bengals and 0-1 with the Rams prior to this season. Whitworth actually owned the record for playoff trips without a win. He deserved a playoff win as much as any player in this league, and at age 37, his time was running out.Now
Womens Boomer Esiason Jersey , Whitworth and Taylor have tasted postseason success, and that alone was worth waiting another week for the Bengals to name their next head coach.
