The Cincinnati Bengals hit primetime on Monday night in preseason Week 2 against the Washington Commanders and won, 31-17. Those Bengals will rolled out Joe Burrow and the starters again for the second straight preseason game while attempting to fix the slow starts to regular seasons.

Washington's preseason record is not a concern. The Commanders looked much better against the Bengals than they did last week against the Patriots. There were signs of progress. The game turned late in the second quarter when Bengals quarterback Jake Browning found former Commanders wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley in the end zone to give Cincinnati a 21-14 lead.
