Jordan Battle is the Bengals’ most Underrated Player, according to PFF

Battle is poised to be a leader in the Bengals secondary.

A key piece to the Cincinnati Bengals' success in 2024 will be the play of their secondary. It has to be better after allowing the most explosive plays of any NFL team in 2023.

Despite its struggles, there were some bright spots. One of those bright spots is rookie safety Jordan Battle. Recently, Pro Football Focus named Battle as the Bengals' most underrated player.

Zoltán Buday, the author of the PFF article, mentions how Battle became a starter in Week 11 and earned the ninth-highest grade among all safeties...

The Athletic suggests surprising free agent addition for Bengals

What would you think about the Bengals adding another wide receiver to an already crowded room?

The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the very few teams with two bona fide true No. 1 wide receivers in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

They have Trenton Irwin, who always happens to find himself in the right place at the right time.

They have Andrei Iosivas, who caught four touchdowns in his rookie year, and Charlie Jones, two talented second-year wide receivers.

Then, in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Bengals selected Jermaine Burton, a talented wide receiver out of...

Joe Burrow ranked No. 2 in way-too-early MVP rankings by NFL.com

Joe Burrow ranked No. 2 in way-too-early MVP rankings by NFL.com

Assuming the fifth-year QB stays healthy, he has a real good chance of winning his first such award.

Joe Burrow’s health isn’t only the biggest question mark for his season. At this point, it’s the only one.

As NFL.com’s Nick Shook pointed out in his recent “Way-too-early top 10 MVP candidates”, Burrow should only be viewed as second in the entire league to the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes in terms of talent and the ability to elevate his team. (Even that might be underestimating Burrow.)

Shook writes:

If Burrow comes out hot (and lights up Kansas City in...

Three and Out Podcast: 2024 Bengals schedule breakdown

We reacted to the 2024 Bengals schedule release.

The NFL truly is a monster that doesn’t sleep. Entire teams are writing skits for their team’s scheduled release, pouring tons of money into special effects and animations or celebrity cameos, when just a few short years ago, the scheduled release was just another day.

Pretty soon, we’re going to be turning the most normal NFL event into a three-day primetime event...NFL Intern Job Fair and Combine, only on ESPN.

The machine never stops.

Bengals Twitter comes to AJ Green’s defense amidst comparison to Ja’Marr Chase

Bengals Twitter comes to AJ Green’s defense amidst comparison to Ja’Marr Chase

How quickly they forget.

Ja’Marr Chase is one of the very best receivers in the NFL.

AJ Green was one of the very best receivers in the NFL in his own day.

So it should be no surprise that their numbers look similar after three years.

And yet, some are using Green’s stats as a knock on Chase. Unbelievable.

Thankfully, the over-12-years-old demographic of Twitter (X) came to Green’s defense.

Let’s not forget that Green came into the league on a team that wasn’t expected to contend for the NFL playoffs with a rookie QB drafted in the second round...

The New England Patriots will travel to Cincinnati for a 1 pm season opener at Paycor Stadium. Likely starting rookie Drake Maye, New England opened as an eight-point underdog, per DraftKings Sportsbook.

New England’s offense was... not the best last season and they haven’t exactly added a ton of talent to the offensive side of the ball. Pair that with a...
