CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals are looking to get their season back to .500 today with a victory over the winless New York Jets.
The Bengals continue to lead the Jets, but New York lessened the deficit to 38-32 after Breece Hall rushed in his second touchdown of the day. The Jets attempted another two-point conversion, but they were able to successfully convert after the play was reviewed.

Hall rushed in a 5-yard touchdown for New York's second of the day, marking Hall's first touchdown of the season. New York then went for the 2-point conversion, where quarterback Justin Fields successfully found the end zone himself.

Cincinnati got its fourth touchdown of the day on a 32-yard rush from Samaje Perine into the end zone. Perine's TD came after it seemed like the Jets picked off a pass from Joe Flacco, but it was ruled an incomplete pass.

Trey Hendrickson was ruled out of the rest of the game due to a hip injury, the Bengals announced after halftime. Hendrickson, who missed last week's game due to a back injury, was seen walking gingerly along the sideline to the locker room.
The Bengals extended their lead over the Jets ahead of halftime with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to running back Chase Brown.

The Jets finally got on the board with a 46-yard field goal from Nick Folk.
Flacco got the Bengals their first touchdown of the day after he sneaked into the end zone following a powerful rush from Perine that left the ball just inches from the goal line. Prior to the touchdown, Cincinnati settled for a 26-yard field goal from Evan McPherson in their opening drive.

The Bengals (3-4) are coming off a prime-time win over division rival the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Flacco played for the Jets — who have led a dismal 0-7 record so far this season — during two stints from 2020 to 2022. During press conferences ahead of Sunday's game, he said he didn't necessarily have fond memories of his time in New York. He was 1-8 as a starter during the 12 games he saw action.
The veteran QB is facing off with Jets quarterback Justin Fields, who has struggled all season before being most recently benched in New York's loss to the Carolina Panthers last week.
It was announced Saturday that Fields would start over Tyrod Taylor, who was ruled out due to a knee injury. New York is also without top receivers Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds. Cornerback Sauce Gardner, a 2021 UC graduate, is also sidelined with a concussion.
Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson returned to the field this week after he missed last week's matchup with Pittsburgh due to a back injury he sustained against the Green Bay Packers.
