Flacco threw for 342 yards and 3 TDs on Thursday, just nine days after he joined the Bengals via a trade. Bill Callahan could be a sought-after offensive line coach in the offseason. There's a lot of dumpster diving to do this week, and it also includes a division race that's probably already over and a quarterback who was telling on himself.

CINCINNATI — Former Bengals wide receiver Laveranues Coles graduated from the police academy and was sworn in as a Jacksonville police officer on Friday. It's great to see the 11-year NFL veteran take such a big and rewarding step.

Case in point, as revealed by The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., the Bengals have missed 47 tackles over their last four games alone. Not only that, the Bengals have never allowed more points per game or drive over the first seven games, ever.

Despite some playoff contenders keeping an eye on Trey Hendrickson's availability leading up to the NFL trade deadline, the star pass-rusher is likely to play out the 2025 season with the Cincinnati Bengals.

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, for example, suggested the Bengals send Taylor-Britt to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a seventh-round pick and cornerback Noah Igbinoghene:

Dan Orlvosky had an excellent analysis of the Steelers defense from Thursday night as well as the entire season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a notable personnel change on the offensive side of the football against the Cincinnati Bengals. Instead of using Scotty Miller as the starter with Calvin Austin III out, they turned to Roman Wilson, who far outsnapped the rest of the wide receivers.

That’s unusually blunt for Taylor, yet the decision on its own said plenty. The Bengals, at least for now, have seen plenty from Taylor-Britt, the former second-rounder who once looked on his way to superstardom before near-weekly struggles, with the lows the backbreaking kind only cornerbacks can surrender.

In our latest mock draft update, a run on quarterbacks send the Steelers in a different direction i the first round.
