AI RECAPThe Cincinnati Bengals cruised to a decisive 38-7 victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 11 of the 2026 season. With this win, the Bengals solidified their playoff aspirations, while the Commanders struggled to find their rhythm amidst a challenging season.
Baker Mayfield led the Bengals with a solid performance, throwing for 193 yards and helping orchestrate a balanced offensive attack.

Brock Bowers also made his presence felt, leading the receiving corps with 76 yards.
Defensively, the Bengals were relentless, with Cashius Howell notching three sacks that disrupted the Commanders' passing game. The game's turning point came in the second quarter when Calen Bullock intercepted a pass, setting up a quick touchdown that swung momentum firmly in Cincinnati's favor. The Commanders never recovered, as the Bengals' defense continued to stifle their attempts to mount any meaningful comeback.
