A win doesn’t cure all.

The Bengals stomped the Browns, 31-7, on Sunday. They’re 1-3 but the same flaws remain.

Tackle Jake Fisher gave up a strip sack. Andre Smith allowed three pressures (per Pro Football Focus). The tackle rotation still isn’t stable.

Fisher, in particularly, absorbed some hate.
