Welcome to Week 2 of the Tiger Den! Where each week we'll get you caught up on everything involving the MOF Bengals and Coach Jfon.

Week 2 saw the Bengals hit the road traveling out west to battle the Los Angeles Rams. Both teams entered the game 1-0 after winning their Season 60 opening game. The game would yet again turn into a shootout for the Bengals but not before some struggles early on. Burrow threw 4 ints while the defense was gashed by Cam Akers. But Joe Mixon put the team on his back and got things going. Mixon would go on to have a huge game finding the endzone 4 times. The defense stepped up as well and made some plays in key situations forcing Golf into 5 ints on the day. The Bengals would go into the 4th qtr with a 10 point lead and held off a late attack from the rams to escape 44-38 and improve to 2-0.

Game Notes
MLB Logan Wilson suffered a broken rib or 2 and will miss approximetly 5 weeks. RT Jonah Williams suffered a foot injury early in the 2nd qtr and would not return to the game. Williams is expected back next week.

Tiger Claws:

Joe Mixon continues his early ambush on the ground with another monster game. Going for 230 yards and 4tds while also racking in 3 receptions for 68 yards. Mixon is your MOF leader in both rushing yards and rushing Tds through week 2.

Cassius Marsh who we talked about last week looked to build on his solid week 1 performance getting himself an int. And build on it did he having a monster game and leading the Bengal defense getting 3 of the defense's 5 Ints. Marsh was also a force in the run game coming down for 6 tackles 3 for a loss. Marsh is currenlty 2nd in the league in Ints with 4, behind just Shaquil Griffin of the Seahawks.

Looking Ahead:

Week 3 brings up the first Divisional game of the season as the Bengals will travel to Cleveland to play the also undefeated Browns and Coach Witness. The Browns have dominted the division the past 3 seasons as the Bengals and coach Jfon are 0-5-1 vs them this edition.
