Bengals Week 2 snap count distribution: Tyler Eifert gets a huge bump in play time
The Bengals were very cautious with Tyler Eifert in Week 1, but they let him loose for the home opener.

Guys replacing Preston Brown and Michael Johnson really helped put the Bengals over the top. Shawn Williams return after being ejected last week also ended up being a huge difference as well. Here are the snap count takeaways for Week 2: Michael Johnson (4) left the game early, which opened...

Shawn Williams gives big thank you hug to Bengals MVP Clayton Fejedelem
The only reason Fejedelem was in a position to make the Bengals’ game-winning play was because Williams was ejected from the game.

Film room: The time is now for Jessie Bates
Jessie Bates has done enough in preseason to make the Bengals feel comfortable letting long-time starter George Iloka go.

In the week between the two contests, head coach Marvin Lewis praised his ability and promise and with the release of George Iloka it has become clear why Bates was getting so much work with the first unit.
