Week 6 of the NFL season saw struggling teams like the Cincinnati Bengals desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Despite a 1-4 record, the Bengals managed to come out with a 17-7 road win against the New York Giants. The win was largely thanks to their defense, which had been a weak point for the team in the past. Cincinnati put up a strong defensive performance, breaking a streak of allowing 10 or more points in 75 consecutive games and holding the Giants to points on just one of their 10 drives.
Quarterback Joe Burrow, who had been under pressure all night with four sacks, made a key throw late in the game to secure the win. The Bengals now have an outside shot at making the playoffs, while the Giants will look to bounce back at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams will need to pick up wins in the coming weeks to stay in playoff contention.
