The Los Angeles Rams continued to keep any notable players on the sideline to close out the preseason, and the Cincinnati Bengals took advantage en route to a 16-7 win.
Offensive player spotlight: Bengals backup quarterback Brandon Allen put together his best preseason showing yet, going 11-of-15 and making two big-time throws. He also posted a solid 8.5-yard average depth of target.
Defensive player spotlight: After a solid Week 2 showing, Rams rookie cornerback Cobie Durant was beaten for three catches and 65 yards in coverage. He also missed a tackle.
Rookie player spotlight: Bengals undrafted free agent Kendric Pryor continues to impress ahead of roster cuts. The wideout was named PFF's Offensive Player of the Week after his first preseason game, and all he did in this contest was catch another five passes for 65 yards. One of those was a contested reception.
Early offensive line analysis: Rams seventh-rounder AJ Arcuri is set to pace the team's offensive line in overall grade. He allowed one pressure across 25 pass-blocking snaps and earned a 64.5 run-blocking grade on first review.
