The Cincinnati Bengals find themselves in the exact situation they were at this time last year. After starting 0-2 for a third consecutive season, the Bengals head into a must-win Week 3 matchup on “Monday Night Football” at home vs. the Washington Commanders.

Joe Burrow gave his press conference before the Cincinnati Bengals face the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football at Paycor Stadium.

On one side, players and coaches have expressed the disappointment that comes with starting 0-2 for the third straight season and the fifth time in the past six years. On the other -- as quarterback Joe Burrow pointed out Thursday -- is that the familiarity that comes with the slow start means Cincinnati knows what it will take to snap the skid and beat the Washington Commanders on Monday night.
