The Cincinnati Bengals have shown they can come back when they fall behind by a couple of touchdowns. They did it again in Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans as they overcame a doulble-digit deficit to earn a 43-36 overtime triumph.

The Bengals fell behind by a 13-0 margin early in the game before mounting that comeback.

That sounds familiar to Bengals fans. A week ago, the Bengals were trailing the Baltimore Ravens by a 13-0 margin and appeared to be on their way to a brutal loss when they went into the locker room at halftime trailing by that margin. However, the Bengals rallied in the second half to win that game by a 35-13 margin.

There may not be another team in the NFL that could fall behind by a 13-0 margin in consecutive weeks and come back to win in explosive fashion two weeks in a row.

Burrow leads Benglas comeback

Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow was the architect of both comeback victories. He completed 38 of 48 passes for 462 yards with 5 TDs in the victory over the Titans. He did throw three interceptions — all of them to safety Amani Hooker — but he was able to overcome his mistakes thanks to the performances of star wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase.

Chase was asked after the game about why the Bengals have been such slow starters. He may have had a theory on the reasons behind the problem, but he did not answer. “Ask Zac,” Chase said. “That’s not my job. You have to ask Zac.”

Zac Taylor is the head coach of the Bengals and he admitted that the Bengals early problems have to be addressed. However, he did not have an answer as to what the specific problem was.

Look for the Bengals head coach to address this issue in the upcoming week.
