Cincinnati Bengals Have Winning Streak vs. Winless Teams as New York Jets Prepare to Visit Paycor Stadium

CINCINNATI – Sunday will mark the seventh time in Cincinnati Bengals history that they have faced a team that was 0-7 or worse.

And just the second time the opponent has not been a divisional foe.

The New York Jets will visit Paycor Stadium at 0-7 under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn.

The last time the Bengals faced a winless team this late in the season was 2017 when the Cleveland Browns came to Cincinnati with a 0-10 record.

The Bengals won that game 36-10.

Here are the other instances:

2016

The Browns were 0-12 when they played host to the Bengals.

Cincinnati won 23-10 in Cleveland.

1997

The only other non-division incident, the Indianapolis Colts were 0-9 and steamrolling toward the No. 1 pick and Peyton Manning.

The Bengals won 28-13 in Indianapolis.

1984

For the second year in a row, the Oilers were winless when they faced the Bengals.

This season they were 0-8, and Cincinnati prevailed 31-13 in Houston.

1983

The Oilers were 0-9, and the Bengals drubbed them to a 0-10 mark with a 55-14 win in Houston.

1975

The Browns were 0-9 when the Bengals arrived at Municipal Stadium, and they were 1-9 when they left after beating them 35-23.

Jets are 0-7 for third time

This is just the third time in Jets franchise history that the team has been 0-7.

The most recent occurrence was in 2020.

The Jets would fall to 0-13 before securing their first win of the year, a 23-20 road triumph against the Rams.

The only other time in Jets history was 1996.

That team only stayed winless through 0-8 before going to Arizona and the beating the Cardinals 31-21.

Since the 1970 merger, there have been 53 teams who have started 0-7.

Forty-one of them went on to fall to 0-8.

Which means the Jets have roughly a 23 percent chance of pulling off the upset Sunday.

The Bengals are 6-point favorites.

Cincinnati has been favored by 6 points or more at home 11 times during the Zac Taylor era (2019-present).

The Bengals are 8-3 in those games, with the most recent loss coming in Week 3 last year on Monday night against the Commanders.

They were 7.5-point favorites and lost 38-33 to fall to 0-3.
