The Bengals are listed as 3.5-to-4-point favorites in Monday night's preseason matchup against the Commanders.

Overview

  • Jayden Daniels made his first appearance of the 2025 preseason, engineering a four-play, 74-yard drive capped by a 14-yard rushing touchdown without attempting a pass.
  • Joe Burrow worked three series and finished 9-of-14 for 62 yards with a 4-yard touchdown to Charlie Jones, taking two sizable sacks and losing a fumble that the Bengals recovered.
  • Undrafted wideout Mitchell Tinsley posted five catches for 73 yards and two first-half touchdowns from Jake Browning to strengthen his case in a crowded Cincinnati receiver room.
  • Washington’s ground game flashed early with explosive runs from Deebo Samuel and Chris Rodriguez Jr., and rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt added a 27-yard score.
  • Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. did not suit up as reports of trade discussions continue, and the Bengals’ backup quarterback competition stays in focus with Jake Browning and Desmond Ridder still auditioning for QB2.
