The Cincinnati Bengals had a nice rebound against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, despite it being too little, too late. Joe Burrow and Co. were efficient and made the Quinn Ewers-led offense pay for their three turnovers.
A big part of the Bengals’ potent offense was Tee Higgins, who once again shined near his hometown down south. While he only had three catches, two of them were big plays, including a Randy Moss-like 35-yard reception and a toe-tap touchdown.
These plays were all impressive, given Higgins’ stints on the concussion protocol over the past few weeks. Many were worried about...

The Cincinnati Bengals made a big statement in Miami, even though their season is essentially over. Cincinnati thoroughly dominated the Dolphins on their home turf, largely thanks to taking advantage of Miami’s turnovers.
One of the biggest beneficiaries of the Bengals’ wide margin of victory was running back Chase Brown. Utilizing his immense versatility, Brown had a career day against the Dolphins.
He was effective on the ground, logging 66 yards on 15 carries for a 5.5-yard-per-carry average, along with a score. As if that wasn’t enough, Brown also had four receptions for 43 yards and two more touchdowns through...

The Cincinnati Bengals finally seemed to have a complete game against the free-falling Miami Dolphins, but in the end, it was too little too late. They are already eliminated from the postseason, and even this dominant a win doesn’t clear any confusion with the Dolphins benching their starter for a seventh-round rookie.
The offense and defense both played well against the Dolphins, especially with a dominant third quarter with 21 unanswered points. The Bengals still have two more games to evaluate the roster and try to figure out who is worth bringing back among the coaches and the players.

This won’t be surprising for those who paid attention at the time of the 2020 NFL Draft. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reports the Miami Dolphins offered the Cincinnati Bengals four first-round picks for the No. 1 overall pick, which was obviously quarterback Joe Burrow out of LSU.
What might be surprising is that that is all they offered. The Dolphins had five first-round picks between the 2020 and 2021 NFL Drafts. Even that wouldn’t have done it, as the Bengals were not having any of these negotiations
The Bengals declined to even engage in discussions and shut down the...

The Cincinnati Bengals are getting some help on the defensive line this week, but will still be missing a couple of key pieces, per the teams’ injury report.
Rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart will be back in the lineup Sunday after missing time with what has just been revealed to be a torn PCL. The rookie missed time with an ankle injury earlier in the season, but is now back in the fold and able to prove himself in the final three games.

The Cincinnati Bengals have called off the season for second-year defensive tackle Kris Jenkins Jr.
On Friday, head coach Zac Taylor announced the Bengals were placing Jenkins on injured reserve with an ankle injury that caused him to leave Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Since players have to spend at least four weeks on injured reserve before they can possibly return to the team, it means he will miss the remaining three games.
It wasn’t exactly a great season for the young player. He was a pretty good run defender, but forgettable as a pass rusher. Missing these last...
