The Cincinnati Bengals secured a 31-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 5 ahead of their bye week. Writer Matt Fitzgerald evaluated Cincinnati's individual performances, naming Ja'Marr Chase, Jordan Battle, Samaje Perine, Joe Burrow, and the team's AFC North standings outlook as winners, while listing Chase Brown and Dexter Lawrence among the losers.
