The Cincinnati Bengals still have a chance to get into the playoffs in Week 16. The team is 6-8, which puts them two and a half games behind the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos for the final AFC Wild Card spots. It’s a long shot, but after an 0-3 (then 1-4) start, it’s impressive […]

If any team in the NFL deserves a little luck to influence the outcome of a game, it’s the Cincinnati Bengals. Seven of Cincinnati’s eight losses this season have come by just one score.

At the start of the 2024 NFL season, optimism surrounded the Cincinnati Bengals. Coming off a bland 2023 campaign that saw them miss the AFC Playoffs, Cincy was ready for redemption. They still had a franchise quarterback in Joe Burrow and a star-studded offense led by Ja’Marr Chase. As such, the Bengals were supposed to […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are arguably the NFL’s most disappointing team. Despite Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, the Bengals are a miserable 4-8. Unless Cincinnati goes on a seemingly improbable 5-0 run to end the year to sneak into the playoffs, change is coming. That means everything, outside of […]

The 4-8 Cincinnati Bengals have no one to blame but themselves. While not officially eliminated from playoff contention, the 2024 season is a certified failure.

Already having concern with Joe Burrow’s wrist, the Cincinnati Bengals entered the game against the Steelers without linebacker Logan Wilson.

During a season gone off the rails, the Cincinnati Bengals are weighing how much to play Ja’Marr Chase. And Zac Taylor responded to Chase’s comments concerning the coaching staff.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ season continues to disappoint, as they fell to 4-7 after a Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football.

After the Cincinnati Bengal’s painful loss against the Baltimore Ravens Thursday night, 35-34, it brings the team’s record to 4-6 on the season, which is no doubt a disappointment to many.

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided to tie their Monday Night Football matchup versus the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs rather than attempt a two-point conversion, many fans castigated head coach Todd Bowles.

As the Cincinnati Bengals took down the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24 in Week 9, wide receiver Jermaine Burton was on the sidelines. However, head coach Zac Taylor doesn’t expect that to be the norm moving forward. Burton was a healthy scratch for missing Saturday’s walkthrough. Taylor said that he was a big part of the […]

The Cincinnati Bengals really needed a win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Bengals suffered a 37-17 blowout against the Eagles that dropped them to 3-5.

A 0-3 start to the 2024 NFL season was definitely not what the Cincinnati Bengals envisioned. For one they were the favorites in two of their first three games of the season and both of those contests were at their home. But here they are, wallowing in the bottom of the standings in the NFC […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are now staring at an 0-3 hole after losing 33-38 to the Washington Commanders in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season.

Joe Burrow has signified that he is in for the long haul with the Cincinnati Bengals. All Zac Taylor needs is for Ja’Marr Chase to do the same such that their core sticks together while they all enter their prime. The elite wide receiver’s contract is not up until 2026 but it looks like there […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are losing a fair amount of depth heading into the NFL Preseason.
