The New Jets' offensive line put forth a dominant performance in Sunday's Week 8 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Jets were unable to put any consistent pressure on 40-year-old Joe Flacco, let Ja’Marr Chase catch 12 passes for 91 yards, didn’t have a takeaway, and were gashed for three runs of 20 or more yards on missed tackles and bad angles.

Postgame Takeaways: Bengals Blow Double Digit Lead, Jets Rally Past Cincinnati for 39-38 Win
The Bengals' rushing attack got going for the second-straight game. Cincinnati ran for a season-high 167 yards with Samaje Perine leading the way. Perine had eight carries for 93 yards and a 32-yard touchdown run. Chase Brown had 10 carries for 60 yards and one touchdown. He also had three catches for 32 yards and another score.
Despite being a popular name in trade rumors leading up to the Nov. 4 deadline, the New York Jets don't appear to be in a rush to deal Breece Hall.
Week 8 in the NFL has been one of the most lopsided since the merger with the AFL in 1970. Only one game, the New York Jets' 39-38 win over Cincinnati, was decided by single digits.
The Bengals are starting two rookie guards (Fairchild and Jalen Rivers) and two rookie linebackers (Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter) on Sunday against the Jets. Stopping Justin Fields, Breece Hall and the New York rushing attack has to be a major point of emphasis for the Bengals' defense.
