We witnessed another pathetic performance by the Bengals offense in a 28-3 loss at Denver.

I try and use the PFF grades as a starting point for players to clip up each week when viewing the All-22. Those grades should never be the end all, be all, for judging the performance of a player.

Jalen Rivers

Jalen Rivers made his first start of his young NFL career at right guard. He was credited with allowing three pressures and a sack in the game. He finished with a 17.2 pass blocking grade per PFF. His run blocking grade was a...

The Cincinnati Bengals will be looking to get up off the mat following another blowout and prepare to face arguably their toughest test yet when the Detroit Lions come to Paycor Stadium for a Week 5 bout.

Prior to Monday Night Football’s loss to the Denver Broncos to the tune of 28-3, the Bengals opened as 9.5-point underdogs against the Lions, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The line has now grown to 10.5 points with an over/under of 48.5 points.

Detroit is one of the best teams in the NFL. Their offense is a well-oiled machine, and their coaching staff doesn’t...

Quick Hits | Jake Browning Looking To Add Up 50-50 Balls; How P.J. Jules Almost Had a Gem
“I didn’t give Tee a chance,” Browning said after the Wednesday walkthrough. “No deep ball has ever been completed that a receiver couldn’t get to. Especially with a guy like Tee. I felt like I had two that stood out as not giving him a chance. I can see what I was trying to do, but I need to adjust how I’m throwing some of my 50-50 balls to him just to give him a shot at it. And so I would...

Cam Taylor-Britt has had an up-and-down season so far. Mostly down.

And now we know why his head coach decided to bench him for his poor play in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos.

While Taylor-Britt had injured his hamstring on September 17, this demotion was not related to that injury.

CTB was outmatched on a lot of plays, as Denver’s offense looked as good as it has all year. Bo Nix, who had been one of the worst QBs in the league, made a number of big plays at the corner’s expense.

As a result, Taylor-Britt only saw five...

Monday night was ugly.

There is no other way to put it, but there was some good in the rookie class. While the night was dark, the future is bright. Let’s talk about this rookie class.

Demetrius Knight has had some rough moments this year, but his arrow is trending upwards, and he played an excellent game this week. Knight had a clutch tackle and an end zone interception to prevent delay the Broncos from scoring just before the half. This was a big play at a big moment. It wasn’t enough to make a difference this week, but this...

The biggest takeaway from this week’s snap counts comes from the cornerback position. After getting juked out of his jock early in the game, Cam Taylor-Britt was benched. When I say early, I mean early.

Taylor-Britt only played five snaps before being sat down for the night. DJ Turner took all 81 defensive snaps, and Dax Hill and Josh Newton rounded out the group with 64 snaps. Marco Wilson and D.J. Ivey joined Taylor-Britt in the single digits.

While Logan Wilson may be giving up some reps to rookie Barrett Carter, he is still clearly established with the first unit....

Bengals’ -534 Yard Differential in Last 2 Games is Franchise Worst, But Where Does It Rank in NFL History?

It’s a critical and rough time in Cincinnati right now. While the town is rightfully excited about the Reds, the Bengals have squandered a 2-0 start, falling to .500 on the heels of two baffling losses.

The once-held faith that Jake Browning could recapture some of the 2023 magic he conjured previously when Joe Burrow was nursing another injury has dissipated, as this team is resembling many from “The Lost Decade”. With the Lions and Packers on deck the next two weeks, the outlook for the foreseeable future is bleak.

Is this fixable? Will the Bengals look to add a...

The Cincinnati Bengals have been thoroughly dominated and utterly embarrassed in back-to-back weeks. In Week 3, they suffered the most lopsided loss in franchise history in Minneapolis. When they needed to bounce back to prove that performance was a fluke, they instead got steamrolled by a Broncos team that entered Week 4 having very much earned their 1-2 record.

The opening minutes teased hope. Cincinnati started with the ball, marched into the red zone, and Evan McPherson’s chip shot gave them an early 3-0 lead. Then, for the first time all season, the defense forced an opponent to punt on...

The Cincinnati Bengals traveled to Mile High to take on the Denver Broncos. These two teams met in Week 17 last year competing for a playoff spot. This year, the Broncos are 1-2, and the Bengals are without quarterback Joe Burrow coming off one of their worst performances in the team’s history when they lost 48-10 against the Minnesota Vikings.

This doesn’t need to be too long-winded. Cincinnati’s offense showed up for the first drive, where they were able to move the ball fairly well and settled for a field goal. Then the defense was able to get Denver off...

With a tough schedule ahead and an embarrassing loss last week, tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos feels like a must-win for Cincinnati. A win keeps the Bengals atop the AFC North while a loss feels like it could snowball into a tough month of October.

The Bengals released their inactive lists and once again, Jermaine Burton is a healthy scratch. After an offseason where it appeared he said and did all of the right things, Burton still hasn’t done enough yet this season to get the coaches to dress him on gameday.
