Episode Details

It may have ended closer than expected or it should have been, but the Bengals got back in the win column with a 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins Sunday afternoon in South Florida.

Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, Mike Santagana, and Evan Stacy break down a successful day for the Bengals in terms of getting the win, but they also discuss the ways this team can still be better going forward.

One positive from Sunday was the Bengals' running game looked effective. It had some life to it. But one key question remains. It's not about the offensive line, though, which had an outstanding game today.

On defense, the Bengals got after Malik Willis and forced three turnovers against him. But in the fourth quarter, Willis and the Dolphins' running game gashed the Bengals' defense. Should we be concerned? If so, how much should we be?
