Welcome to Week 5 of the Tiger Den! Where each week we'll get you caught up on everything involving the MOF Bengals and Coach Jfon.

Week 5 saw the Bengals hit the road for a trip west to battle the undeated Kansas City Chiefs. Both teams entered the game red hot both being undfeated. The game would become a story of missed opportunities as the Bengals squandered 2 redzone trips in the first half coming away with no points, once missing a FG the other getting stuffed on a 4th and goal from the 2. The Bengals defense would keep them in the game but the Chiefs defense played even better. Holding Mixon to a season low 48 yards while picking off Burrows 2 times in what become a low scoring affair. The Chiefs would clamp down even more in the 2nd half and came away with the 19-8 vicory to remain undefeated while the Bengals suffer their first loss of the season and drop to 4-1

Game Notes
No injuries were reported, LG Pat Elfein looks to return next week after missing the past 4, while MLB Logan Wilson still looks to be another 1-2 weeks out

Tiger Claws:

Joe Mixon suffered his lowest output of the season coming back to reality after having monster games in his first 4 of season 60. Held to 48 yards and did not find the endzone for the first time this season, Mixon will look to bounch back along with the entire offense next week

Germaine Pratt had was a standout on defense in week 5 with 6 tackles and getting his first sack of the season. "Pratt has continued to improve each week and he is really becoming a key figure on out D" - Coach Jfon

Earlier in the week the Bengals announced a couple huge contract extensions, as Joe Burrow inked a 6 year extension and Mike Evans has resigned with the Bengals on a 4 year deal. Then later in the week they announced the resigning of CB William Jackson III on a 2 year extension. "All 3 of these guys will be core pillars of our team for the forseable future, extremely happy to have them locked in for the future" - Coach Jfon

Looking Ahead:

Week 6 has the Bengals returning home for a 2 week homestand. The Houston Texans come to town first with a 2-2 record as the Bengals look to bounce back after their first loss of the season.
