The Cincinnati Bengals may have started their 2025 season with a 2-0 record for the first time since before either Zac Taylor or Joe Burrow were on the team, but in doing so, they’ve lost their franchise quarterback for the bulk of the season, turning the keys over, once again, to backup Jake Browning.

It could be worse, of course. The Bengals could have a bum as their backup quarterback. That’s definitely not the case. Rich Eisen even said he thinks Browning is a better quarterback than a third of the starters across the league. He may be right, but...

The Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) will face the Minnesota Vikings (0-2) next Sunday in a game that should be close, considering both teams will be trotting out their backup quarterbacks.

But the Vikings may have found a slight edge, potentially in a tricky fashion.

Minnesota signed Desmond Ridder just in time for him to give them some inside info on the Bengals’ playbook. Ridder spent training camp and the preseason with the Bengals, so the Vikings are likely trying to get some intel from him on what to expect this week.

The phrasing of Ian Rapoport’s team implies this was a...

I woke up Monday morning with the scene at the end of “Avengers: Endgame” stuck in my head.

Young Gamora: Did you do it?

Thanos: Yes.

Young Gamora: What did it cost?

Thanos: Everything.

This isn’t a knock on Jake Browning. I don’t think the Bengals should panic by going after a new starting quarterback. There’s no need to give up draft capital for Kirk Cousins or try to find someone who can compete with Browning for snaps. The starting quarterback of the Bengals is, and should remain, Jake Browning until such time that Joe Burrow is healthy and capable...

The Cincinnati Bengals have started the 2025 season with a 2-0 record for the first time since the 2018 season, but like Thanos at the end of “End Game” it has cost them everything. That’s because, lost in their Week 2 win, was franchise quarterback Joe Burrow, who will need surgery on a turf toe injury on his left foot and is expected to miss up to three months.

Considering this, it’s likely many Bengals fans woke up on Monday morning feeling like they were hit by a truck. After all, for the third time in six years Burrow is...

The timing of this change is… interesting, given that Joe Burrow sustained a turf toe injury in Sunday’s 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Then again, this change never should have had to be made.

The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-0 for the first time under Zac Taylor, but the feel-good times are not where they should be at the moment. In the thrilling victory over the Jaguars, Joe Burrow went down in the second quarter with a toe injury that may end up costing him the entire 2025 season.

Jake Browning stepped in admirably and led the team to 2-0, but the Bengals will have to hope to have him continue his winning ways to keep their Championship hopes alive. Can he have another solid run like he did in 2023?

We talk about this,...

There it is. The worst possible outcome for superstar QB Joe Burrow was just confirmed by Adam Schefter.

Burrow will require surgery to treat his turf toe and is expected to at least miss three months as a result.

And, according to Ian Rapoport, multiple experts all recommended surgery for Joe Burrow.

That is a gut punch to a team that finally seemed to figure out how to win ugly games early in the season.

Now they must adjust the offense to support backup QB Jake Browning keep them in games.

Browning played admirably as usual, hitting Mitchell Tinsley and...

Ja’Marr Chase joined some rarified air with his 14 receptions, 165 yards, and one touchdown performance today.

This was the sixth time that Chase had a game with 10+ catches, 150+ receiving yards, and a touchdown.

This puts him above Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce for a player under 26 years old. Bruce accomplished the feat five times in his career.

The Cincinnati Bengals needed every bit of it to pull out a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-27.

There will continue to be a lot of concern about the weeks ahead. For this night, however, the Bengals can rest...

The Cincinnati Bengals squeaked out another close one, this time at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They’re 2-0 for the first time since the 2018 season, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in Cincinnati, either. Joe Burrow could be lost for the foreseeable future with a toe injury on his left foot, thanks in part to the team’s inability to protect their quarterback every single year. Jake Browning came in and, despite a couple of interceptions, got the offense to work when it mattered most.

The narrative in Jacksonville may be more along the lines of “we lost” than...

It feels so much better to go into Week 2 1-0 than 0-1. Regardless of how the Bengals’ offense played in the second half in Cleveland on Sunday, a win is a win. Now, the Bengals have plenty of room for improvement and are still 1-0 heading into Sunday’s Week 2 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars are also 1-0 entering Sunday’s game, with a 26-10 home win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Their head coach, Liam Coen, was one of just two head coaches to win his debut with his new team in Week 1.
