The Cincinnati Bengals can enjoy a mini bye after a massive Thursday Night Football win over the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier.

The Bengals understood the importance of this game and found a way to pull out a shootout, 33-31, thanks to a game-winning kick from Evan McPherson.

The biggest storyline of this game was the connection between Joe Flacco and Ja’Marr Chase, which single-handedly revived the entire offense and finally got the train rolling for the first time since Week 2.

Another storyline was the return of Joe Burrow since his injury against the Jags earlier this season.

What I thought was going to happen on Sunday didn’t happen. It didn’t even come close, actually.

And I couldn’t be happier about it.

The Bengals came in riding a three-game losing streak, and even though Joe Flacco and the offense found a little rhythm in the second half against the Packers, what were the odds he’d keep it going against the Steelers’ defense? Slim to none — or so I thought.

I’m not often happily wrong, but I am this time.

After the Packers game, I said that if the Bengals could stack two halves the way they played...

The Cincinnati Bengals pulled off a 33-31 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. The Bengals had terrific performances from Joe Flacco, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown. The offensive line stepped up in a big way to allow the skill position players to thrive.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. The Pittsburgh Steelers did something dirty during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

While this rivalry hasn’t been nearly as bad as it was around the 2015 season, you can always tell these two teams just absolutely hate the other.

The most recent example is Cam Heyward appearing to punch quarterback Joe Flacco after sacking him in the fourth quarter of the Bengals win on Thursday Night Football:

Defenders have gotten so good at punching the ball out in recent history, that it isn’t uncommon to see a swing a few times a...

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking to get back to .500 this weekend, as they take on the New York Jets at Paycor Stadium. While we’re not sure if it will be Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor under center for New York, we know that the Bengals need to do a better job at their pass rush disrupting quarterbacks.

A big help in that regard would be if they could get star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson back in the lineup. Hendrickson left the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers with an injury. He did not return to the game...

Joe Flacco was on fire on Thursday night, and the Bengals got back into the win column. Could the successful trade for Flacco and their playoff aspirations make them buyers as the November 4th NFL trade deadline approaches?

Here are some players they should consider targeting.

Defensive Ends

It is no secret that the Bengals desperately need to add a pass rusher opposite Trey Hendrickson.

There are a lot of edge defenders currently on the trade block, but they will not come cheap.

The Dolphins are rumored to be shopping both Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips.
