Welcome to Week 1 of the Tiger Den! Where each week we'll get you caught up on everything involving the MOF Bengals and Coach Jfon.

Week 1 saw the Miami Dolphins visits Cincy in what turned into a monsoon all game. The heavy rain didn't effect the offenses much though as the game turned into a shootout with the good guys prevailing 49-41. The Dolphins held control of the game until a late deep ball was picked off by William Jackson III turning the momentum in favor of the Bengals. The new look offense with the edition of Mike Evans looked real balanced. Burrow looks like he's ready to take the next step as well as he lead the offense with a very efficient day going for 257 yards and 4tds, 3 of them to Evans who caught 6 balls total. Mixon was also back to his old self as he torched it on the ground with 224 yards.
