Kinda ugly but I’ll take an ugly W any day of the week.
Some things to work on.

Defense played really well...Burrow with a good bounce back game. Hopefully the Bills took a chunk out of Miami. That Miami team is sneaky good.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
We need more Perine from here on out.
It was amazing watching the difference in the running game even when everyone in the stadium knew a run play was coming. Mixon is just too hesitant. He never hits a hole with confidence. Perine was just blasting right into his runs.
You’ll take a 15 point road win in the NFL any time you can get one. That said, this is probably an 8-9 team if they can’t get the running game going.
I was very encouraged to see Zac stick with Perine on that last drive.
They need to get him more meaningful touches next week and not revert back to “Slam Mixon between the tackles on 1st and 2nd down, obvious pass play gets broken up and then punt” scheme that they’ve been running so far.
Literally everyone in the house knew run plays were coming and suddenly the Bengals could run the ball when it was a different guy carrying it. That should open some eyes.

Wonder if Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs would be upgrades to Mixon in the offseason?
I know it’s way early to be thinking about the draft but I could see offense being a factor especially trying to get younger talent in for when keeping certain players becomes expensive. Mixon and Tyler Boyd seem like cap casualties to me and Hurst isn’t a long term answer at TE either.
Bengals definitely need to start splitting the carries up more and hopefully they’ll move on from Mixon after this season. Too many other positions that are going to need to be paid to justify wasting precious resources on a RB
Enjoyed seeing Sauce go at it with Chase and Higgins today. Overall it was a win which is all that matters, but still sloppy in a lotta ways. Defense played great.
Don't be fooled by the Bengals' win yesterday. Every single Offensive Lineman allowed multiple sacks. Burrow just got rid of the ball faster than any human being has ever done it. The O-Line is still a major issue and it still sucks. Hopefully, there was improvement. With basically no practices this week, I can't see it being any better against the Dolphins than it was against the Jets.
