The Cincinnati Bengals turned the ball over three times in four plays inside the final two minutes of the first half as they suffered their worst loss in franchise history, 48-10, to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday.

Week 3 is here and the Vikings look to bounce back from a rough loss to the Falcons by catching the Bengals while they are down.

It certainly was on Sunday, as the team was absolutely obliterated by the Minnesota Vikings. At the time of publication Jake Browning was having a howler, with a pair of interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), while the Minnesota defense also took one of the three fumbles it recovered in the game to the house.
