CINCINNATI — The Bengals traded for Joe Flacco with hopes of saving their season. Sending a 2025 fifth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for the veteran quarterback and a 2026 sixth-round pick was a no-brainer for Cincinnati.

Breaking down the moves the Bengals have made over the last few years that have led to the team once again fielding one of the worst defensive units

The Cincinnati Bengals, who upset the Pittsburgh Steelers with a prime-time shootout back in Week 7, found themselves on the wrong end of a similarly high-scoring affair. The Drake Maye-led New England Patriots stayed hot to win their sixth game in eight weeks.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr recorded a single-game franchise record 16 receptions for 161 yards and a touchdown in Week 7.

Despite Week 8 in the 2025 NFL season being dubbed “Bye-mageddon” – six teams were on bye weeks, leaving fantasy football players scrambling – Sunday was jam-packed with action.

In a not-so-shocking turn of events, NFL insiders chatting with NFL owners and league sources continue to say a trade centered around Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson is a non-starter of a conversation.

Hall became the first running back since 2000 to throw a go-ahead TD in the final two minutes of a game. The last time it happened also came with the Jets when Curtis Martin threw a go-ahead TD back in 2000.

Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor has called out his defense after another miserable performance. The Bengals allowed a whopping 254 yards rushing and 502 yards overall in a 39-38 loss to the New York Jets.
