The Cincinnati Bengals lost yet another game they should have won. They went into the bye week at 3-6. The only move they made at the NFL Trade Deadline was sending Logan Wilson off to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh-round draft pick.

There seems to be no real direction for what the plan is to fix the defense. Fans are growing frustrated with this organization, and rightfully so.

You can make the argument that Al Golden and his defensive staff need to be fired. I don’t disagree with that.

Golden has never been an NFL defensive coordinator prior to...

The highs and lows of the Zac-Taylor-coached Cincinnati Bengals have been both extremely high and extremely low. Taylor helped lead the Bengals to their first playoff win in over 30 years, as well as an appearance in Super Bowl LVI and the following AFC Championship game. Under his tutelage, the Bengals have also earned the No. 1 overall pick once and suffered some embarrassing collapses.

Here are the five worst Bengals losses in the Taylor era (in no particular order):

10/26/25, Bengals 38, Jets 39

The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t typically very active when it comes to trading for players or trading away their own. It’s never been something Mike Brown and the Blackburn family have ever really embraced, even when they had the opportunity to add to a potential championship roster or shed players on their way out to accrue picks when things aren’t going well.

This season, the Bengals could have gone either way. Sitting at 3-6, it would have made sense to trade away an asset like Trey Hendrickson. It also could have made sense if the Bengals decided to trade for an...

**Bengals silent while NFL decision-makers give interviews **Those Bengals rarely, if ever, trot out a member of the front office to speak through the media or otherwise about the ongoing season or direction of the franchise. That’s the same for director of player personnel Duke Tobin, effectively the team’s general manager, too.

Until this week, Chase Brown had not taken more than 49 snaps in a game all season. This week, he took 65 of the team’s 68 offensive snaps. While Brown has been the team’s primary rusher, Samaje Perine usually gets somewhere between 25% and 50% of snaps. Perine is a punishing runner who is also a trusted pass protector.

This week, they were looking for something different out of the running back on passing downs. Chase Brown led the team in targets (14) and receptions (8) while piling up 75 yards receiving.

This explains another interesting snap count tidbit. Generally,...

The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t having a good 2025. They came in with high expectations. They had a new defensive coordinator who was supposed to fix the problems that plagued the team last year, and with no contract issues for Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins, Joe Burrow got an entire offseason with his top weapons.

However, an injury in Week 2 to Burrow’s toe that will keep him out for the vast majority of the season, and a defense that still struggles to stop even the worst offenses in the NFL, have created a 3-6 start.

More than that, this is...

Trey Hendrickson is still a Cincinnati Bengal, despite being in the last year of a deal that probably won’t get extended.

Cincinnati’s front office could have moved the star pass rusher to a number of teams that were interested, but failed to come to terms with any of its potential trade partners.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Bengals might have changed their minds about what they wanted in return for Hendrickson after they saw what the New York Jets got for Quinnen Williams (a 2026 second rounder and a 2026 first rounder) from the Dallas Cowboys.

Here’s what...

The Bengals only had six draft picks a year ago, but they are getting their money’s worth out of them.

With Trey Hendrickson out, this would be the right time for first round pick Shemar Stewart to step up and have a few flashes of brilliance, but he is still not there. Stewart took a career-high 49 snaps in this one and had only one hit on the quarterback. Stewart is an athletic freak, but they need to give him two pass-rush moves to develop and perfect so he can make a larger impact.

The run defense was atrocious this...

That was another disappointing game for the Bengals, but hey, the first 10 seconds were pretty cool.

Charlie Jones, took the opening kickoff 99 yards to the house, starting the Bengals out with a 7-0 lead.

Let’s take a look…

This was a great play by the dynamic Jones, but he didn’t do it alone. Let’s see how the blocks set up Jones for the score.

“That’s just the decision we made. That’s just work through it. We see the potential with these guys,” Taylor said on Monday. “We see some leadership quality with these guys. It’s not going to be perfect, and there are going to be some learning moments, but I believe in them that we’re going to start playing at a high level.”

The Cincinnati Bengals are on their bye week with a 3-6 record and a very little shot at making the playoffs. That would mark the third straight season in which Cincinnati has failed to make the playoffs under head coach Zac Taylor.

Sure, Joe Burrow has been out since Week 2, but somehow, the offense has looked as good under Joe Flacco as it ever did under Burrow.

The problem is, the defense has been tragically bad, which is a big reason why this team is three games under .500 and looks bound for another failure to even make the...

As the NFL trade deadline came to a close, many wondered if the Cincinnati Bengals would move on from star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. With a 3-6 record and Hendrickson on an expiring contract, many people felt the best move for Cincinnati was to move the reigning NFL sack leader for draft capital.

Ultimately, the Bengals didn’t move Hendrickson. They have been known to value their players too high in trade negotiations at times, but a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggests that overvaluing Hendrickson wasn’t necessarily an issue this time around.

“The 3-6 Bengals had a compelling case to...
