Madden NFL 24 Week 8 Roster Update Is A Big Win for Cincinnati Bengals Fans

Week 8 in the NFL featured some great games and heartbreak for a few teams, most notably the Kansas City Chiefs who fell to the Denver Broncos for the first time in years. That said, the big winners of the weekend were the Cincinnati Bengals who pulled off a major coup by beating the San Francisco 49ers on the road. That win was well-rewarded in Madden NFL 24 as developer Electronic Arts has given two of its best players solid boosts. Let’s take a look at this week’s biggest risers and fallers in Madden NFL 24.
