In a commanding performance, the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Carolina Panthers 70-27 in Week 15 of the 2026 season. With playoff aspirations on the line, the Bengals showcased their offensive firepower against a struggling Panthers defense. Cincinnati's quarterback Josh Allen was nothing short of spectacular, throwing for an astonishing 554 yards and nine touchdowns, leading the charge for the Bengals' high-octane offense. Trey Palmer was a standout at wide receiver, racking up 215 receiving yards, while Breece Hall of the Panthers notably contributed with 134 rushing yards, although it was not enough to keep pace with the explosive Bengals attack. On the defensive side, Cole Bishop not only led the team with eight total tackles but also added a sack to his impressive performance. Xavier Watts made a significant impact with two interceptions, helping to shift the momentum firmly in favor of Cincinnati. The turning point came early in the second quarter when the Bengals scored three quick touchdowns, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Panthers.
