Bengals Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) - (08/25)

Three preseason games down, with the fourth and final scheduled for Aug. 28, and the Bengals are among many in the league that look a mess. They're 1-2 and have been steamrolled in the past two home losses to the Lions and Saints. The first-team defense, an admitted work in progress under first-year coordinator Mike Zimmer, has been the better half of the team. It's the high-priced offense, missing starting wide receivers Chad Johnson (shoulder) and T.J. Houshmandzadeh (hamstring) and starting tailback Rudi Johnson (hamstring), that has struggled more than expected. In 10 series the past two games with Carson Palmer at quarterback, the offense has punted eight times, been intercepted once and had its best drive end in a blocked field goal.
