The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 32-13 on the road, improving to 6-4 while dropping the Raiders to 5-5. The Bengals snapped their two-game losing streak and now sit third in the AFC North, half a game ahead of the Browns.

The Good: Joe Mixon led the Bengals' offense with 123 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries. The defense held the Raiders under 300 total yards and forced key late-game turnovers. Most impressively, Cincinnati played penalty-free football.

The Bad: The Raiders' offense struggled throughout, with Derek Carr going 19-27 for 215 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Josh Jacobs managed just 37 yards on 9 carries, though Darren Waller shined with 7 catches for 116 yards.

The Ugly: Las Vegas has now lost three straight games and sits last in the AFC West. With five of their remaining seven games against teams above .500, the Raiders face an uphill battle to make the playoffs.
