The Cincinnati Bengals have been dealing with slow starts the last two weeks. While they were able to overcome 13-0 deficits in back-to-back weeks, that is not sustainable if this team wants to reach their Super Bowl aspirations.
The players know it isn’t good enough, the coaches know it isn’t good enough and one player that hasn’t shied away from that is star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Chase addressed the team at halftime when losing to the Baltimore Ravens. The team responded with 35 unanswered points in a 35-13 win. This week, Chase was seen on the sidelines visibly angry.
> “You know, that’s just part of it. It’s a tight game. It’s an emotional game. We’ll work through it, obviously. \[He had\] a big day for us. Came up really big there at the end of the game and overtime. So that’s just one of those things that happens in a football game.”
> “Burrow’s comments stoke a growing confidence in the team’s ability to overcome adversity, even when mistakes threaten to derail a victory.”
> “The opening script is working for the opposition and failing the Bengals. That it’s come against a Ravens team without Lamar Jackson and a one-win Titans team makes it all the more discouraging.”
> “Zac Taylor has learned from previous international games and is taking the Cincinnati Bengals to Madrid earlier for their game against the Atlanta Falcons.”
> “This will be the sixth time the Bengals have worn this uniform combination and the first time in 2026. Cincinnati wore the combination three times in 2025. The Bengals introduced orange pants to their rotation ahead of the 2024 season, wearing them a total of nine times.”
A scary scene, but seemingly positive updates have come.
The in-season trade market has already been active, but with the deadline a week away, we could see even more action.
Baltimore is in a nightmare situation when it comes to their quarterback room.
