Cincinnati ended up beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-23 at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. The Bengals now have the division lead in the AFC North at 10-4 after the Baltimore Ravens lost to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

The Bengals are on the road again in Week 16 as they face the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
