Entering Week 10, three teams entered as unbeaten squads. Now, there are just two…the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers.

The Cincinnati Bengals, the most recent squad to fall from the ranks of the unbeaten, were humbled on Monday night at home against the Houston Texans.

In the game’s aftermath, Houston’s JJ Watt made a Red Rifle/Red Ryder BB gun reference and it didn’t sit well with Andy Dalton.

Here’s the problem. Until Dalton actually beats Houston (his Bengals have lost two playoff games to the Texans), Watt is going to keep spitting that trash.

Cincy is still in the bye zone but have to travel to Arizona for Sunday Night Football this week.
