At 3-4, the Bengals are on the border between being buyers or sellers at the Trade Deadline, which is on November 4th.

But with a winnable game Sunday against the 0-7 New York Jets, the Bengals appear to be trending towards maybe making a trade to add to a position of need that can help them emerge as contenders in a wide-open AFC.

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz recently weighed in on the Bengals, and what he is saying is what fans will want to hear.

“The Bengals are doing exactly what they need to do; compete and win as many...

The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t quite sure which quarterback they will face on Sunday when they take on the New York Jets. Jets’ head coach Aaron Glenn was noncommittal on who would start in Week 8 after Justin Fields was replaced by Tyrod Taylor last week.

Now, Taylor is listed as day-to-day with a knee injury. If Glenn was looking for a spark with his backup, the knee injury could throw off those plans.

When asked if the unknown element of New York’s starting quarterback was an advantage for the Jets, Bengals’ head coach Zac Taylor said the team would game...

Ja’Marr Chase put on a show against Jalen Ramsey and the Pittsburgh Steelers last Thursday night.

And as a result of his 16-catch performance, the NFL has awarded him the honor of being AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

With his performance, Chase broke his own franchise record for catches in a single game.

Chase also became the third player in NFL history to record 14 or more catches in at least four games over the span of a career. (He is still only 25, by the way.)

And Chase surpassed old teammate / friendly rival Justin Jefferson for the...

The Conversation | Ken Anderson Greets Teammates In Bengals Ring of Honor

All three played on Paul Brown’s best and last Bengals team in 1975, and 50 years later, Anderson remembers with Bengals.com senior writer Geoff Hobson in The Conversation.

Scouting Report Week 8: Bengals Look to Stack Wins against Jets

New York entered 2025 with former Bears and Steelers QB Justin Fields under center. Fields has yet to throw an interception this season and has seven combined touchdowns (four passing and three rushing). He became the first quarterback since at least 1950 to have zero interceptions and zero wins...

A few weeks ago it seemed that the season for the Cincinnati Bengals was headed down the drain. We were starting to talk about draft position and who this team could grab this offseason to potentially make a difference in the 2026-27 season.

Well, those conversations have gone on hold.

We are now a little over two weeks removed from the news that the Bengals were making an inter-division trade for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. With plenty of questions surrounding the move, you saw some answers in the second half as the team fell in Green Bay in his first...

The start to the season for the Cincinnati Bengals has been a wild one. Starting off with a 2-0 record, it seemed like a chance for a deep playoff run was on the table if the defense got it all figured out. Then came the injury to Joe Burrow.

After the injury, things slid. Now insert Joe Flacco, an unlikely superstar for the Bengals’ offense for the last two weeks. Putting up some solid stats, and the defense starting to find its groove, things seemingly are looking up once again for the franchise as they head into the heart of...

The Bengals only had six picks in last year’s draft, and Dylan Fairchild was out this week.

Once again, the Bengals started two rookies at linebacker.

While Demetrius Knight was the higher pick, Barrett Carter seems to bring more speed and processing ability to the linebacker table.

Carter was all over the field, filling gaps and making nice high tackles. He led the team in tackles with eight solo and 12 total.

Demetrius Knight is the team’s season leader in tackles, but he struggled in that area this week. He seems to be stopping his feet and lunging for ball-carriers,...

The most interesting aspect of the snap count sheet was who did not appear on it. Cam Taylor-Britt was a healthy scratch for the Bengals on Thursday Night Football. Not only was he replaced in the lineup by Josh Newton, but he was surpassed by Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey to even suit up.

The unit looked pretty strong without Taylor-Britt. Despite giving up one long fade to DK Metcalf, DJ Turner had another great night. Dax Hill and Josh Newton also played well. Even so, it is interesting that Taylor-Britt wasn’t even out there. Did he miss a meeting...

The benefit of having Joe Flacco on the Bengals, outside of his play on the field, is also being an asset for Joe Burrow.

Burrow has never had someone like Flacco mentor him in the quarterback room, and all of this can be a good thing for a guy who’s had guys like Brandon Allen, Ryan Finley, and Jake Browning for backups, none of whom hold a candle to Flacco.

Bengals offensive coordinator certainly thinks Flacco is an asset to Burrow.

“Guys like Joe Flacco, there aren’t that many of them, and how many times will Joe Burrow get a...

The Cincinnati Bengals got back into the win column on Thursday night when Joe Flacco led the team to an upset win over Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.

Now, the 3-4 Bengals go into a two-game stretch of games they should win before their bye week. Their first matchup in that stretch is at home against the winless New York Jets.

The Bengals are looking to get back to .500, and the Jets are looking to get their first win of the season. FanDuel Sportsbook believes it’ll be the Bengals that come out on top, as they’re almost favored to...

The Cincinnati Bengals have an offense again thanks to Joe Flacco playing lights out since being acquired two weeks ago.

Now they get some good news about their franchise QB.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Joe Burrow could come back from turf toe for the last few weeks of the season.

“My guess is the last two or three games of the season, [Burrow] has a chance,” he said on NFL on ESPN. “But if they’re alive, then I think we really may see Burrow, which is suddenly pretty realistic.”

If Burrow can come back for the last three...

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we turn our attention to Cincinnati Bengals cornerback DJ Turner II, who has become a legitimate shutdown defender in his third NFL campaign.

Predicting the success of players in the future is obviously not a foolproof concept, but there are signs worth watching. On the defensive side of the ball, if you have a defensive lineman with a lot of quarterback pressures but a low sack total, it...
