Cincinnati Bengals
Imagine waking up one morning to find your preferred method of time travel—whether it’s a DeLorean, TARDIS, hot tub, or phone booth—waiting right in front of you. The display reads: April 29, 2021. Destination: Cleveland.
It hits you—it’s taking you to the 2021 NFL Draft.
You arrive at the precise moment the Bengals’ draft card is about to be handed to Roger Goodell. In your right hand, you hold the card that says Ja’Marr Chase.
In your left, another card.
Penei Sewell.
One image fills your mind:
You remember everything that’s happened since. You know Joe Burrow is hurt again,...

Is it just me, or is all the intrigue around this week’s snap counts on the defensive side of the ball?
Let’s start with the question that is on everyone’s mind.
“Why is it that every time I look up, I see Joseph Ossai in coverage?”
The answer is in the snaps.
The Bengals’ defense was on the field for 62 defensive snaps, and defensive tackles took a total of 167 snaps. That averages out to 2.7 defensive tackles on the field per play. While I am not here to debate the existence of fractional defenders (although I am sure...

For whatever reason, Jake Browning’s ability to read a defense seems to have disappeared without a trace. So what do the Cincinnati Bengals do now?
Kirk Cousins makes a lot of sense. He has had success with multiple teams, has the leadership qualities that this team desperately needs, and recently starred in a Netflix series with Joe Burrow. You like this? I like this.
The big problem with Cousins is the money, but that may also be the advantage. The Falcons might be willing to give him up for peanuts just to get him off...

I want to know who it was.
Which one of you Bengals fans made a deal with some eldritch power far beyond your comprehension? Because now, thanks to your inability to read the fine print, we’re all stuck in football purgatory—maybe even hell, depending on how long you’ve been here.
The Bengals were embarrassed again in Week 5. The 37–24 final score was deceptively close; the game itself never was. The Lions practically begged the Bengals to stay in it, but Cincinnati refused to oblige.
Defensively, it actually wasn’t a complete disaster. They’re playing with both hands tied behind their...

The Bengals only had six picks in the most recent NFL draft, and their top choice, defensive end Shemar Stewart, has been sidelined for the past few weeks. And yet, somehow the Bengals’ rookies seem to be the silver lining on the brown paper bag filled with flaming dog poo that is the last three weeks.
Second-round pick Demetrius Knight continues to improve every single week. Knight had eight total tackles this week and now leads the team with 40 tackles on the season. He made a great play to deflect Jared Goff’s pass when defensive Al Golden sent Knight...

Postgame Quick Hits | Bengals Looking To Build Off Explosive Fourth Quarter As Ja’Marr Breaks Out
“I went to extend. Saw him running across the field and gave him a chance on the sideline. I just put it where only he could get to it,” said Browning, who wasn’t buying that it was a throw by a guy who seemingly wasn’t playing tentatively despite three picks.”I didn’t have enough good throws today. That’s why we lost.”

Don’t let the garbage time points fool you.
This team is not good. And it’s largely because they don’t have a guy who can put them on their shoulders on offense.
So what did we actually learn from the 2-3 Cincinnati Bengals’ predictable loss to the 4-1 Detroit Lions?
The backup-turned-starter had about as ugly of a first three quarters as imaginable.
Of course, he and the offense came alive when the game was out of hand, putting up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to make the final score a little less ugly.

The Cincinnati Bengals have officially squandered their 2-0 start, dropping all three games since backup quarterback Jake Browning took over for Joe Burrow, who remains sidelined with a turf toe injury. The Bengals managed 21 points in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Lions, but have still been outscored 113–37 over that three-game stretch.
And things aren’t getting any easier. In Week 6, the Bengals head to Lambeau Field to take on the 2-1-1 Green Bay Packers.
After opening the season with wins over the Lions and Commanders, the Packers have cooled slightly — losing to the Browns...
