Since 2000, there have been 107 coaches who lasted at least 48 games. Where Zac Taylor ranks among them in rushing attempts per game, and where yesterday's rushing performance ranks in #Bengals history. www.si.com/nfl/bengals/...

Mike Gesicki takes blame for possible game-winning touchdown from Joe Burrow: “I’m supposed to cross his face [the DB]. I didn’t.” Joe Burrow called it a “miscommunication” after the game. Gesicki was lining up in Tee Higgins’ spot with Higgins out due to a groin injury.

Did Joe Burrow flat out MISS Mike Gesicki on the potential game-winning touchdown? The Bengals tight end shared his perspective and admitted he was at fault after the game. @jaymorrison.bsky.social has the story: linktw.in/uyexog

TWO turnovers... Both star receivers hurt... A defense that STILL can't tackle.. And the Bengals still had a chance. What you NEED to know about the final drive, the thing I absolutely HATED in the first half & a lot more in our postgame report! Watch: linktw.in/pjxwae

Joe Burrow is better than Trevor Lawrence…. And every NFL GM would agree: “There has not been a day in the NFL for Trevor Lawrence when he’s was drafted in 2021 where he’s better than Joe Burrow.” #Bengals #Jaguars
