Bengals lean defense in a night of limited plays. Cam Taylor-Britt benched early; DJ Turner logged 81 defensive snaps while Dax Hill and Josh Newton supported the secondary. Logan Wilson anchored the linebacker group behind rookie Barrett Carter. Mike Pennel fit the 22-snaps-per-game target, with B.J. Hill, T.J. Slaton and Kris Jenkins rotating up front. Offense produced just 48 plays as Browning ran the show, while Chase, Higgins and Iosivas carried the pass workload and Chase Brown logged 35 touches.

Broncos aim to turn their season around at home against Cincinnati in Monday Night Football, leaning on explosive plays from Troy Franklin and improved guard play to spark Bo Nix. Denver must exploit potential Taylor-Britt absence, manage Kris Jenkins and B.J. Hill up front, and find Engram in space while keeping Knight and Wilson from bottling the run. Sutton against Turner could unlock multiple pass options, while the defense tries to slow Daxton Hill’s matchup duties.

Josh Newton earned Mic’d Up duties as Cincinnati tried to rebound from a 48-10 setback to Minnesota, stepping in for Cam Taylor-Britt and drawing extended run. Newton posted a 55.6 PFF grade, allowed a TD, and fed a spark as the Bengals regroup. Zac Taylor blamed turnovers for the avalanche and ugly first half, while Cincinnati hunkered in the practice bubble to clean up errors and regain footing.

Injuries shape Bengals-Vikings as Week 3 approaches. Cam Taylor-Britt is doubtful with a hamstring, pushing Cincinnati to lean on DJ Turner II and Josh Newton—with Dax Hill possibly sliding outside. Cincinnati also has Shemar Stewart out. Minnesota lists J.J. McCarthy out; Aaron Jones placed on IR, plus several o-line and defensive pieces in flux. Christian Darrisaw is questionable; Harrison Smith, Austin Keys, and Andrew Van Ginkel are questionable. Jefferson looms as a focal point; fantasy managers should watch how depth charts shift.

Mike Hilton worked out for Philadelphia on Monday after stints with Miami and Cincinnati, potentially adding veteran nickel coverage to an Eagles squad that already bolstered its pass rush with Za’Darius Smith. Cincinnati’s young CBs—Dax Hill, Cam Taylor-Britt, Josh Newton and DJ Turner—played big roles in Week 1, with Turner delivering a highlight-diving interception. The move would be a notable bridge for Philly’s defense as it defends its title.
