The Bengals are re-signing Ke'Shawn Williams to the practice squad. They had a spot open after promoting Joe Giles-Harris last Saturday. In theory, he could still be the Bengals punt & kick returner on Sunday against the Jaguars if they elevate him to the roster.

Even with giving up the game-ending sack, Dalton Risner had the third highest PFF grade of his career yesterday. But he doesn't think you should take solace in that, because he sure as hell isn't. www.si.com/nfl/bengals/...

Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor had plenty to say after the Bengals' loss to the Steelers today in Pittsburgh. Here's everything they said after the 30-27 loss to their AFC North rivals: youtu.be/tu0NEGfMSOU

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Zac Taylor goes for it on 4th-and-2 and Joe Burrow finds a WIDE OPEN Mike Gesicki for the go ahead touchdown. Gesicki was uncovered and gives the Bengals a 27-24 lead. Burrow is 23-for-30 for 242 yards and three touchdowns. He has a 132.9 passer rating.

2120

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Joe Burrow is 18-for-21 for 152 yards and two touchdowns in this first half. He's been LIGHTS OUT. The Bengals and Steelers are tied 17-17 with 34 seconds left in the half.

2111

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Aaron Rodgers threw a rocket at Roman Wilson. It went through Wilson's hands and Jordan Battle was there for the interception. Huge change for the Bengals. They have the ball near midfield trailing 17-10 with 1:40 left in the first half.

030

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Jordan Battle was beat by Ben Skowronek on that touchdown. This Bengals' defense is getting shredded. The Steelers went 86 yards in 11-plays in 4:58. Pittsburgh leads 14-7.

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Joe Burrow went 7-for-7 for 60 yards on the opening drive. The Bengals went on an 11-play, 73-yard drive that ate up 7:20 and ended with a touchdown to Ja'Marr Chase. That was probably the Bengals' best drive of the season. They overcame a penalty and converted two third downs. We're tied 7-7

091

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

3rd-and-2, crowd going crazy... And Joe Burrow calmly finds... Dohnte Meyers for a big first down. He makes a man miss and finishes with a 23-yard gain. HUGE play.

James Rapien @jamesrapien.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Roman Wilson burns Jalen Davis for a touchdown on 3rd-and-5. Wilson just ran right by Davis for the 38-yard touchdown. The Steelers went 78 yards in just 4 plays.
