In Week 6 of the NFL season, the struggling Cincinnati Bengals earned a crucial 17-7 win against the New York Giants on the road. Despite their 1-4 record, the Bengals defense stepped up to break a streak of allowing 10 or more points in 75 consecutive games, holding the Giants to points on just one of their 10 drives. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who had been performing well, was sacked four times by the Giants but managed to make a key throw in the fourth quarter to secure the win. Running back Chase Brown sealed the victory with a 30-yard touchdown run. The win keeps the Bengals’ slim chances at a postseason appearance alive. In the upcoming week, the Bengals will face the Cleveland Browns on the road while the Giants, who are 0-3 at home this season, will host the Philadelphia Eagles. Desperation is setting in across the league as struggling teams like the Bengals fight to turn their seasons around and make a playoff push.
