Good morning, Hamilton.

A 7-year-old boy and his mother from Delhi Township were admitted to intensive care after a violent crash on Columbia Parkway around 4:36 p.m. Wednesday—Michael underwent surgery for head trauma while his mother sustained multiple broken bones, and Cincinnati police are investigating excessive speed and seat belt use.

The Bengals played their first preseason game against the Eagles on August 7, and the game was tied 7–7 after a 75-yard touchdown drive by an Eagles backup and a scoring drive led by quarterback Joe Burrow—Lucas Patrick's penalty slowed the team.

The game showed both teams making key plays as they prepared for the season.
