5 keys to beating the Jags
Photo by Dylan Buell/ Taylor vs. Taylor. Jake Browning was not the problem last week. The Cincinnati Bengals just didn’t put together a game plan that put them in a position to win. Here is what they need to do this week vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars in the brotherly battle of Zac Taylor and Press Taylor. Run the Ball You cannot win with Joe Mixon getting a mere eight carries and no one else carrying the ball in the current landscape. You have to establish the run and take pressure off the quarterback. You can win games with Jake Browning, but you aren’t going to...

3 things that could save the Bengals’ season
Joe Rondone-USA TODAY Sports It’s not quite yet time to give up on Cincinnati. Is the Cincinnati Bengals’ season over? Probably. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t time to try to save it. And that’s exactly what we did in our latest show: Here are summaries of just some of the ideas we discussed with one of the top Bengals analysts around, John Sheeran of A to Z Sports: Making a change at running back Is Joe Mixon bad? No, not at all. Is he getting the job behind a line that doesn’t have things figured out? Also no, not at all. And that’s where...

Zac Taylor discusses Bengals’ abysmal run game and Joe Mixon
Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK Taylor said it wasn’t Mixon’s fault. So whose fault is it? It’s widely known that a young or inexperienced quarterback has two best friends: a good running game and a tight end. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning made the first start of his NFL career against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon in Paycor Stadium, and the offense supported him with a running game that yielded a success rate of zero percent. ZERO. “That’s life vs. Pittsburgh,” Taylor said after the game. “And you know that’s...

3 winners and 5 losers in Bengals’ 34-20 loss to Ravens
Photo by Patrick Smith/ That didn’t go as planned. It was a painful 34-20 loss, but here are the winners and losers from the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday Night Football defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals lost quarterback Joe Burrow before halftime, the refs made quite a few questionable calls, and the effort can be questioned from both sides of the ball even when Burrow was still out there. Still, a few guys we can highlight as winners, and it would probably be easier to say who was not a loser in this one. Winners Joe Mixon: Even before...

Joe Burrow leaves with injury vs. Ravens
Photo by Rob Carr/ Not good for the Bengals. Joe Burrow appeared to suffer some type of hand/wrist injury in the second quarter of the Cincinnati Bengals’ Week 11 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. After throwing a touchdown to Joe Mixon, which put the Bengals up 10-7, he was seen favoring his right hand and in obvious pain. After going into the blue medical tent for several minutes, Burrow came out and started throwing but couldn’t properly grip the ball, so he was sent to the locker room for further testing. With Burrow out, Jake Browning is now the Bengals’...

Joe Mixon sealing the deal on Von Miller was awesome
Kareem Elgazzar/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK Yeah it was. So, to keep this one short and sweet, Joe Mixon and the Cincinnati Bengals fell to Von Miller and the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. That made the Bengals’ recent success over the Buffalo Bills even more satisfying since Miller was part of them (even though he was on IR last year). The Bengals finally got a real shot at Miller tonight, as he was active for the Bills. And wouldn't you know it, the game came down to a 3rd-and-4 play that saw Mixon beat Miller for the game-sealing first down. Mixon took...
