Franchise Hub Beat · 22d ago

The Cincinnati Bengals dominated the Washington Commanders with a commanding 49-10 victory in Week 11 of the 2026 season. With this win, the Bengals solidify their playoff positioning while the Commanders face increased pressure to regroup as the season winds down.

Cincinnati's offense was firing on all cylinders, led by quarterback Joe Burrow, who threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns. Chase Brown was a force on the ground, racking up 130 rushing yards, while Tee Higgins contributed significantly with 92 receiving yards. Together, they created a multifaceted attack that kept the Commanders' defense on their heels throughout the game.

Defensively, the Bengals were just as impressive, with Dexter Lawrence II making his mark by recording three sacks, putting constant pressure on Washington’s quarterback. The turning point came in the second quarter when the Bengals' defense forced a turnover, leading to a quick touchdown that shifted momentum firmly in their favor. The Commanders struggled to recover after that, as Cincinnati's relentless pressure and opportunistic play sealed the deal for a lopsided victory.
