The Cincinnati Reds have been quietly linked in recent MLB offseason buzz to potential reunions with two familiar faces: third baseman Eugenio Suárez and outfielder Austin Hays. According to multiple reports, Cincinnati's front office is exploring ways to bolster its lineup ahead of the 2026 season, and both players represent intriguing options for a club that is trying to balance competitiveness with cost and roster flexibility. Suárez, a veteran slugger who spent the bulk of his most productive years with the Reds before moving on to the Arizona Diamondbacks, has been connected to Cincinnati in trade chatter. At the 2025 trade deadline there was mutual interest reported between Cincinnati and Arizona in a deal to bring Suárez back to Cincinnati, where he once provided significant power from the hot corner. Sources have described his potential return not just as a nostalgic move for fans, but as a real way to add middle-of-the-order pop to a lineup that struggled to produce big offensive numbers. On the free-agent side, Austin Hays is another name the Reds could target. Hays played for Cincinnati in 2025 after the club declined his mutual option for 2026, making him a free agent this winter. He slashed a respectable line with 15 home runs and provided solid outfield defense, and Reds management is reportedly considering whether a reunion would make sense if the two sides can find agreeable terms. While neither move is confirmed, and financial or roster implications remain key factors in any decision, the interest suggests the Reds are eyeing a mix of proven veterans and internal youth as they shape their 2026 roster around young stars like Elly De La Cruz and Noelvi Marte.

The Bills' end-of-season press conference, led by owner Terry Pegula and president/GM Brandon Beane, turned into a public relations disaster. Rather than offering a clear plan or unified message after firing head coach Sean McDermott, the event quickly devolved into blame-shifting, confusing narratives, and emotional oversharing. Pegula openly described firing McDermott based on an emotional reaction to the recent playoff loss, recounting how he saw quarterback Josh Allen “crying” and decided to pull the trigger on a coach who delivered years of winning seasons. He also publicly blamed McDermott and the coaching staff for drafting wide receiver Keon Coleman — a claim that both contradicted conventional accountability norms and put an active player in an awkward spotlight. That kind of public airing of internal disputes is rare at the NFL executive level. Bills leadership seemed defensive and inconsistent, at times undermining each other's authority and revealing more about internal dysfunction than any coherent vision for the franchise. Even some reports suggest players — including Allen — were reportedly unhappy with how the situation was presented and that Allen wasn't consulted before the firing was announced. Against that backdrop, the Cincinnati Bengals immediately appear more disciplined and stable. The Bengals' leadership, including owner Mike Brown and coach/performance staff, have a reputation for not spectacularly botching press interactions or publicly airing internal frustrations. While Cincinnati isn't perfect and sometimes keeps tight lips, the team avoids public spectacles that make front office dysfunction look like a headline story — which is exactly what happened in Buffalo. Fans and pundits alike now point out that even if Bengals executives aren't exuberously communicative, they've never staged a press event that spiraled into a spectacle of blame and contradictions. In short, Buffalo's chaotic press conference unintentionally raises the bar for what we consider “competent communication” in the NFL — and by that measure, the Bengals look organized by comparison.

Caleb Downs — Versatile Defensive Playmaker Downs is widely regarded as one of the top defensive prospects in the 2026 class and could be the best pure defender available at No. 10. He's a unanimous All-American with a resume featuring Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors and award recognition like the Jim Thorpe and Lott Trophies for nation's top defensive back. Downs combines elite football IQ, instincts, range, and physicality—allowing him to defend the run, cover receivers, and make plays all over the field. Scouts praise him for his coverage versatility, ability to diagnose offenses quickly, and leadership as a secondary commander. He's played in multiple roles (deep safety, box, nickel) operating like a defensive coordinator on the field. That rare blend makes him a potential day-one starter with All-Pro ceiling, a tone-setter for Cincinnati's secondary. Rueben Bain Jr. — High-Motor, Disruptive Edge Rusher Bain is one of the most exciting edge defenders in this draft cycle—everywhere from mock drafts to big board rankings slot him near the top for pass-rush talent. He's physical against the run and rushes the passer with power and leverage, and his 275-pound frame with a relentless motor gives him a three-down feel. Bain has produced pressure and sacks at a high clip during big games, showcasing a toolkit that translates well to NFL front sevens. His ability to set the edge or slide inside on passing downs adds a versatile element to a defensive line that could further complement the Bengals' front. David Bailey — Explosive Pass-Rush Specialist Bailey is a pure pass-rushing threat who terrorized opponents in 2025, leading many analytic boards in pressures and sacks. With elite burst off the snap, bend around the edge, and a developing arsenal of moves, he's the kind of playmaker who can generate game-changing pressure on opposing quarterbacks. For a Bengals team that has looked to boost its pass rush—especially after middling pressure numbers last season—Bailey offers a high-upside rotational edge or eventual starter who can flip momentum with splash plays. In short, Downs delivers defensive backbone and versatility, Bain combines power and disruptive presence on the edge, and Bailey brings elite, momentum-shifting pass-rush ability—all compelling fits for Cincinnati depending on how the draft board falls and what specific defensive holes they prioritize at No. 10.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are conducting a high-profile search for a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with Josh Grizzard following an 8–9 season and a missed playoff berth in 2025. Among the names they're exploring is Dan Pitcher, the Bengals' offensive coordinator, who is scheduled to interview with Tampa Bay this week. Pitcher, 39, has been on the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff since 2016, ascending from offensive assistant to quarterbacks coach and then offensive coordinator for the past two seasons. Though he holds the OC title in Cincinnati, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor retains play-calling duties, which means Pitcher hasn't had an opportunity to call plays in regular-season games. Taylor has granted him permission to interview with teams offering play-calling offensive coordinator roles, making the Buccaneers' opening a potentially significant career move. The interview represents both an opportunity and a challenge. On paper, it could be seen as a lateral move in terms of job title, but for Pitcher it's a rare chance to step into a role where he would directly run the offense on game days — something he hasn't done in Cincinnati. His track record includes helping develop quarterback Joe Burrow into one of the NFL's premier passers, which is a major selling point for Tampa Bay as they look to revitalize an offense that underperformed in key areas last season. Tampa Bay's coaching search has been extensive, with interviews already held with several candidates including former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, Ravens OC Todd Monken, and others. Pitcher adds another experienced offensive mind to that mix as the Buccaneers weigh their next steps. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

This past weekend, the Cincinnati Bearcats stunned the college basketball world by knocking off No. 2 Iowa State in a stunning Big 12 upset. The Bearcats delivered a 79-70 victory over the Cyclones on Saturday at Fifth Third Arena, handing Iowa State its second straight loss after a 16-0 start to the season. Cincinnati's win was historic on several fronts. It marked the Bearcats' first victory over a Top 2 team at home since 1967, a nearly six-decade drought finally broken in front of a raucous home crowd that even stormed the court after the final buzzer. It was also Cincinnati's best win in over a decade and their first against a top-10 opponent since 2012, giving new life to a season that has had its ups and downs. The Bearcats played with energy, hitting timely three-pointers and creating havoc on defense. Day Day Thomas led the scoring with 19 points, while Jalen Celestine knocked down four triples off the bench and Baba Miller contributed with key rebounds. Cincinnati forced 12 turnovers from Iowa State, turning those mistakes into 20 points and swinging momentum in their favor. Despite a career-high 34 points from Iowa State sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic—including eight made threes—the Cyclones couldn't quite complete their comeback after falling behind early. Iowa State battled back in the second half but ultimately couldn't overcome Cincinnati's balanced scoring and home-court energy. This win doesn't just go down as a highlight of the season—it's a defining moment for the Bearcats program under coach Wes Miller, showing they can compete with and beat elite competition.

Big-name veteran Orlando Brown Jr. is one of the most talked-about potential cap casualties for the Bengals. Brown is an elite left tackle with multiple Pro Bowls on his résumé and remains a cornerstone of Cincinnati's offensive line, but his contract carries a very heavy cap hit (nearly $22 M in 2026) with limited savings if he's cut without a post-June designation. That makes him an unlikely cut in a vacuum — the Bengals protect Joe Burrow at all costs — but it also makes Brown one of the few marquee players whose salary structure could make the team at least explore ways to create cap space (like restructuring or tagging a successor) if Cincinnati finds itself tight against the cap in the coming offseason. On the defensive front, B.J. Hill and T.J. Slaton both have contracts that could draw scrutiny, but they are less likely to be cut purely for performance reasons. Hill just re-signed a multi-year deal, is a veteran starter inside and a locker-room leader, and anchors the defensive tackle rotation. Slaton, signed on a two-year deal in 2025, brings run-stuffing size and depth to a unit that needs bodies. Both have roles in the defensive interior, and the Bengals historically value continuity at the line. Finally, Oren Burks was brought in on a two-year contract to add experience to a linebacking corps in transition. While he's not a marquee name, Burks' role could be in jeopardy if younger players like Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter continue to progress and the team pursues cap savings — linebacker is traditionally easier to replace through the draft or cheaper free-agent signings. In summary, Brown's salary makes him the most intriguing “cut candidate” from a cap perspective, even if it's unlikely in practice; Hill and Slaton are more likely to stick due to role and continuity; and Burks' spot could be in play if the Bengals pivot toward youth or cheaper alternatives.

After a disappointing 6-11 season and a third straight year without a playoff appearance, this offseason will be one of the most consequential in recent Bengals history. Cincinnati has chosen stability at the top — head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin will both return — meaning Tobin's roster construction decisions will be under intense scrutiny. Defensive talent acquisition will be the top priority. Tobin publicly stated the team needs a significant influx of talent on defense, especially in the pass rush, after struggling to generate pressure and close out games late in the season. He's highlighted this as a key reason the Bengals lost tight contests and failed to make the playoffs. Improving leadership on defense and overall toughness is another focus. Tobin emphasized needing players who can lead and execute consistently — something the unit lacked during the 2025 campaign — and may look for veterans in free agency and the draft to provide that. The offensive line and backup quarterback protection will likely be addressed to keep Burrow healthy; he missed time due to injury in 2025. Finally, resource allocation and scouting strategy could draw attention: Tobin said Cincinnati won't expand its historically small scouting department, which has faced criticism for its draft results, especially on defense.

Mike Tomlin stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is a seismic moment in the AFC North, and it's a development that directly benefits the Cincinnati Bengals. After nearly two decades of unmatched stability, leadership, and competitiveness in Pittsburgh, the Steelers now enter an era of uncertainty—while the Bengals remain firmly in their championship window. For years, Tomlin was the constant obstacle standing in Cincinnati's way. Even during seasons when the Steelers lacked elite quarterback play or top-tier talent, Tomlin's teams were disciplined, physical, and extremely difficult to put away. He consistently kept Pittsburgh relevant in the AFC North race and made divisional matchups against the Bengals intense, unpredictable, and costly. With Tomlin gone, that institutional advantage disappears overnight. From a football standpoint, coaching turnover almost always brings short-term regression. A new head coach means new systems, new terminology, and a locker room that must reset its identity. That transition period is exactly what a team like the Bengals can exploit. Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and the core of Cincinnati's roster already understand their system and expectations. Continuity matters in the NFL, and right now, the Bengals have it while the Steelers don't. There's also a psychological shift at play. Tomlin was the face of Steelers football and a symbol of confidence within the division. His departure changes the balance of power and gives Cincinnati a chance to assert itself as the AFC North's most stable and authoritative franchise. Free agents, draft strategy, and player development in Pittsburgh may all be impacted during this transition, creating further opportunity for Cincinnati to pull ahead. In a division defined by toughness and margins, losing a coach like Mike Tomlin is more than symbolic—it's a competitive opening. And for the Bengals, it couldn't come at a better time.

The Cleveland Browns are deep into their search for a new head coach after parting ways with Kevin Stefanski, and Dan Pitcher — the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive coordinator — has emerged as a genuine candidate. The Browns have officially requested permission to interview Pitcher for their head coaching vacancy, which indicates they see his offensive experience and ties to Browns GM Andrew Berry as assets worth exploring. Pitcher, 38, has been with the Bengals since 2016 and has risen through the ranks from offensive assistant to offensive coordinator, working closely with star quarterback Joe Burrow and contributing to one of the top passing offenses in the league during his tenure. His ascent to OC in 2024 was successful statistically, with Cincinnati ranking high in passing yardage and scoring in his first full year in that role. While the Browns' interest doesn't guarantee a departure, it puts Pitcher in the mix against established coaches and other younger offensive minds — including internal Browns candidates and experienced NFL coordinators. Cleveland has already conducted interviews with several potential hires and continues to evaluate a broad slate. If the Browns do hire Pitcher, it would represent a significant move for him — from a coordinator spot in Cincinnati to an NFL head coach role in Cleveland. It would also affect Bengals staffing, potentially prompting Cincinnati to look internally or externally for his replacement. The situation reflects a broader trend of teams prioritizing young, offensive-minded coaches with quarterback development experience. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Cincinnati Bengals Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin spoke at length with the media Friday, January 9, 2026, offering a candid review of the team's struggles and a broad outline of the work ahead in the offseason. Tobin acknowledged the frustration and disappointment that came with a 6–11 record and a third consecutive season out of the playoffs, taking responsibility for the organization's performance while emphasizing that the team still believes it has a “championship-caliber” roster despite the results. A central theme of the press conference was the need to improve the defense, particularly the pass rush. The Bengals finished 2025 near the bottom of the league in sacks and points allowed, a point Tobin stressed repeatedly, noting that generating pressure with just four rushers must improve and that the defensive unit requires more talent and leadership. He praised the late-season defensive turnaround under new coaching but acknowledged that the unit overall was not good enough. Tobin also discussed the team's offensive identity, stressing that the core offensive talent remains strong, especially when healthy, but that Cincinnati must finish games better. He highlighted losses in close contests and the need to cultivate a “focus, strain and finish” mentality. On personnel matters, Tobin was cautious on specifics regarding free agency and contract strategy, saying the club is willing to do what's necessary to secure players who can help win but offering few concrete commitments. He expressed confidence in the current leadership and expressed openness to involving quarterback Joe Burrow in offseason discussions about roster construction. Fan reaction to the presser was mixed, with some appreciating the candor but many criticizing Tobin for avoiding detailed answers on key questions.

Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball head coach Wes Miller publicly apologized after a heated postgame radio outburst this week following a tough 62–60 loss at West Virginia. In his initial remarks during the postgame interview on NewsRadio 700 WLW, Miller pushed back against media and fan criticism, saying things like “I don't care what people think… Everybody can quit on us… It's us against the world” in response to questions about his team's disappointing 8–7 start and late-game struggles in Big 12 play. The tone and intensity of that interview drew significant attention and mixed reactions on social media and among Bearcats fans, with some critics calling his comments defensive and unbecoming for a head coach. Recognizing that his emotion spilled over, Miller opened his subsequent weekly radio show with an apology to longtime Cincinnati broadcaster Dan Hoard and co-host Terry Nelson. In that apology he acknowledged that his anger and frustration from the moment got the better of him and emphasized that his outburst was not directed at the hosts or intended to insult them. Miller's gesture signaled an effort to smooth over relations with local media and recalibrate the narrative around his leadership during a challenging stretch of the season. While he has stood by his defense of the team's effort and reiterated his commitment to his players and program, this apology also underscored that, even at the highest levels of college coaching, emotions can run high in the wake of close losses — and that maintaining professional composure remains important when speaking publicly about struggles and criticism.

The Bengals face a pivotal 2026 offseason after finishing 6–11 and missing the playoffs again, placing added emphasis on making smart roster decisions in free agency. Trey Hendrickson is arguably the biggest free-agent name on Cincinnati's roster. The veteran edge rusher, who led the NFL in sacks in 2024, is slated to hit unrestricted free agency after a one-year, high-salary deal in 2025 that didn't include a long-term extension. Teams around the league view him as one of the top pass-rushing free agents available, and the Bengals must decide whether to use the franchise tag (which could cost roughly $36 million), pursue a multi-year deal, or let him test the open market. Joseph Ossai has emerged as one of Cincinnati's more intriguing free agents. After returning on a one-year “prove-it” contract in 2025 and matching solid production, Ossai could be a priority for retention. His youth and pass-rush upside make him a logical target for a return if the Bengals value continuity on the defensive front. On offense, Noah Fant is another unrestricted free agent. The tight end signed a modest one-year deal in 2025 and has contributed as a blocker and occasional receiver. The Bengals could bring him back on a similar short-term arrangement to maintain offensive balance, but he's also likely to draw interest elsewhere. Dalton Risner has become a fan favorite on the offensive line after late-season play in 2025. He's publicly expressed a desire to stay, and retaining him would help stabilize Joe Burrow's protection. Cam Taylor-Britt is the most uncertain of this group. The cornerback's performance declined in 2025, and off-field issues and injury history may suppress his market value, potentially complicating re-signing discussions. Overall, the Bengals approach 2026 free agency with significant cap space and crucial decisions on whether to retain core contributors or let them walk and reinvest elsewhere.

As the Bengals head into the 2026 offseason, the future of elite edge rusher Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati remains one of the organization's most intriguing and uncertain storylines. Hendrickson, a four-time Pro Bowler and recent NFL sack leader, has been a disruptive force since joining the Bengals and was among the league's most valuable free agents at the end of the 2025 season. The central barrier to a long-term return has been contract negotiations. After a contentious holdout and talks that dragged through the 2025 offseason, the Bengals and Hendrickson eventually agreed to a one-year, $30 million deal that lets him hit unrestricted free agency in 2026. That new contract did not include a no-tag clause, giving Cincinnati the option to tender him with the franchise tag next spring — albeit at a high cost. Most recently, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler reported that the relationship between Hendrickson and the Bengals “has likely deteriorated beyond repair,” largely because of the bitter contract negotiations the past year. Fowler suggests that while the Bengals could use the franchise tag to retain him, Hendrickson appears poised to explore opportunities elsewhere in a strong market for pass rushers. A long-term return to Cincinnati now seems unlikely, especially given Hendrickson's desire for security and the team's investment in younger edge talent. Realistically, then, the possibility of Hendrickson returning to the Bengals hinges on one of three outcomes: Cincinnati uses the franchise tag and he plays another year while negotiating long-term. Hendrickson and the team agree on a new extension (less likely per the latest intel). He tests free agency and signs elsewhere. At this point, Fowler's update points toward #3 as the most probable scenario — meaning a Hendrickson return to Cincinnati isn't off the table, but it's far from likely.

Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown announced that head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin will both return, signaling continuity and confidence in the franchise's leadership as it looks toward the future. The decision reinforces the organization's belief in the vision that has guided the Bengals through recent seasons and into consistent contention in the AFC. Brown praised Taylor for his steady leadership and ability to connect with players, noting that stability at head coach remains a priority for the organization. Since taking over, Taylor has helped modernize the team's culture, emphasizing accountability, collaboration, and resilience. Under his guidance, the Bengals have developed into a perennial playoff contender, highlighted by deep postseason runs and a reputation as one of the conference's most competitive teams. Duke Tobin's return was framed as equally important. Brown emphasized Tobin's role in building and maintaining the roster through the draft, free agency, and contract negotiations. Tobin has been instrumental in assembling a core of star talent while balancing long-term financial flexibility, a strategy that has allowed Cincinnati to compete with larger-market franchises. His eye for talent and willingness to make bold moves have earned respect across the league. Brown acknowledged that expectations remain high in Cincinnati and that recent seasons have shown both the promise of the roster and the challenges that come with sustained success. By retaining both Taylor and Tobin, the Bengals are opting for continuity rather than sweeping change, believing that their current leadership group is best positioned to address shortcomings and push the team to the next level. The announcement sends a clear message to players, fans, and the rest of the NFL: the Bengals trust their plan. With Taylor leading on the sidelines and Tobin shaping the roster, Cincinnati aims to remain a fixture in the AFC playoff picture and continue its pursuit of a championship.

Yesterday, in what was essentially a meaningless Week 18 matchup for both clubs, the Cincinnati Bengals fell to the Cleveland Browns 20–18 at Paycor Stadium to close out a disappointing 2025 campaign. Both teams entered the game already eliminated from playoff contention, but Cincinnati still hoped to end on a high note against an AFC North rival. Early on, Cincinnati struggled to put together consistent offense and committed costly errors, including missing two extra-point attempts — mistakes that would loom large in the final score. Meanwhile, Cleveland's defense made a huge early impact, even scoring on a 97-yard interception return to set the tone. The defining moment of the game came in the fourth quarter, when Browns defensive end **Myles Garrett not only pressured Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow but set the NFL's single-season sack record with his 23rd sack. The celebration around that milestone was controversial — Bengals head coach **Zac Taylor angrily protested after officials paused play to honor Garrett's achievement in a critical late-game moment. Cincinnati mounted a late comeback, with Joe Burrow leading a quick scoring drive that gave the Bengals an 18–17 lead with under two minutes left. But Cleveland responded, and Shedeur Sanders engineered a clutch drive that set up Andre Szmyt's 49-yard field goal as time expired to win it for the Browns. For the Bengals, this loss capped a 6–11 season filled with inconsistency, turnovers, and missed opportunities. With Sunday's defeat now in the books, Cincinnati will turn its focus to the offseason and making changes to get back into playoff contention in 2026.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden publicly defended safety Geno Stone ahead of the Week 18 game, offering a relatively positive evaluation of the veteran despite widespread criticism of Stone's play this season. Golden highlighted Stone's leadership and communication as key factors in the defense's improved performance over the past eight games, suggesting that Stone has played an important role in helping the unit find its footing of late. Golden credited him with getting the secondary aligned properly and being a stabilizing voice on the field. Golden explicitly pointed to Stone's contributions to recent defensive success, saying that much of the late-season improvement can be traced back to the safety's steady presence. He acknowledged that both he and Stone, along with teammate Jordan Battle, would like to have “one play back here, one play back there,” but maintained that Stone has improved from the previous year and continues to develop. Golden emphasized a positive outlook on Stone's future, stating he sees a “path forward” for Stone to keep improving with continued coaching. It's notable that while Golden praised Stone's intangibles and leadership, he stopped short of committing to wanting Stone back in 2026, deflecting future-oriented questions by focusing solely on the final game of the season. Stone is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and Golden didn't directly address plans for next year. Golden's comments have drawn mixed reactions, with many fans seeing his praise as coach-speak protecting a struggling player, while others interpret it as a genuine belief in Stone's value beyond traditional statistical performance. In short, Golden is publicly backing Geno Stone as a leader and communicator with room to grow, even as broader analysis and fan sentiment remain skeptical.

Zac Taylor's decision to play his starters, including quarterback Joe Burrow, in the final game of the season against the Cleveland Browns was a choice that sparked debate among fans and analysts. At the surface level, resting key players in a meaningless or low-stakes finale can seem like the safer option, especially when considering injury risk. However, Taylor's approach reflected a broader philosophy about competitiveness, culture, and preparation. One major factor behind the decision was momentum. Ending the season on a strong note can matter, particularly for a team trying to reinforce confidence and consistency. By playing Burrow and other starters, Taylor signaled that every game counts, regardless of playoff implications. This mindset helps establish a culture where effort and accountability do not fluctuate based on circumstance. For a franchise that has worked to shed years of inconsistency, maintaining that standard is significant. There was also a developmental and rhythm-based argument. Burrow, coming off a demanding season, benefits from staying in sync with his receivers and offensive line. Game reps cannot be fully replicated in practice, and extended time off before the postseason—or the offseason—can disrupt timing. Taylor likely believed that keeping the offense sharp outweighed the controlled risk of limited snaps. Critics, however, pointed to the obvious downside: injury. The Browns, a divisional rival, play a physical brand of football, and exposing franchise players in a final-week matchup always carries danger. For some, the potential long-term cost to Burrow's health was not worth the short-term benefits. Ultimately, Taylor's decision highlighted his trust in his players and his commitment to a competitive identity. While reasonable minds can disagree on the risk-reward balance, the choice aligned with a coaching philosophy that prioritizes preparation, toughness, and treating every game as meaningful.

In a convincing home performance at Paycor Stadium, the **Cincinnati Bengals cruised to a 37-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, never trailing and dominating across all three phases of the game. Quarterback Joe Burrow was the catalyst for Cincinnati's offense, throwing for 305 yards and two touchdown passes to star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Burrow's efficient performance tied the franchise record for most 300-yard passing games (28), previously held by Andy Dalton. Chase was a constant threat, hauling in seven catches for 60 yards and both of his scores. With this outing, he became the first player in NFL history to record at least 80 receptions, 1,000 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in each of his first five seasons, a remarkable milestone reflecting his elite consistency. The Bengals also got a strong ground game from Chase Brown, who finished with 101 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, helping Cincinnati take control early and keep the Cardinals on their heels. Cincinnati's offense was so dominant that Burrow came out in the fourth quarter, with backup Joe Flacco taking over as the victory was well in hand. The Bengals amassed over 400 yards of total offense, showcasing balance and explosive playmaking.  Despite the loss, the Cardinals had a highlight when tight end Trey McBride set the NFL single-season reception record for a tight end with 119 catches, giving Arizona a rare positive takeaway. Cincinnati improves to 6-10 on the season with the win, while Arizona falls to 3-13, extending a tough campaign. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

The Cincinnati Bengals (5-10) host the Arizona Cardinals (3-12) this Sunday, December 28, 2025, at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX. Both teams are eliminated from playoff contention in disappointing 2025 seasons, turning this late-season matchup into a battle for pride, momentum heading into the offseason, and potentially better draft positioning. The Bengals enter on a high note after exploding for 45 points in a dominant Week 16 win over the Miami Dolphins. Joe Burrow looked sharp in his return from injury, throwing for over 300 yards with multiple touchdowns, while Ja'Marr Chase and the offense clicked efficiently. Chase Brown added a strong rushing performance, and the unit showed flashes of the explosiveness that has defined Cincinnati in recent years. However, the defense remains a major concern, ranking near the bottom of the league in points allowed (30.5 per game) and struggling against the pass and tight ends. Arizona, meanwhile, is mired in a seven-game losing streak, most recently falling 26-19 to the Atlanta Falcons. With Kyler Murray sidelined for the season due to injury, Jacoby Brissett has been under center, leading an inconsistent offense that relies heavily on tight end Trey McBride (over 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns). The Cardinals' run game has been decimated by injuries to backs like James Conner and Trey Benson, leaving Michael Carter as the primary option. Defensively, Arizona has been porous, allowing 30+ points in several recent games, though they can keep things close against vulnerable units. Bengals are favored by about 7 points, with a high over/under around 53.5, reflecting expectations of a potential shootout given both teams' defensive woes and offensive talent. Burrow's presence gives Cincinnati a clear edge at quarterback, and home-field advantage in cold December weather could trouble the dome-accustomed Cardinals. Key storylines include Burrow continuing to build momentum post-injury, McBride's dominance against a Bengals defense weak vs. tight ends, and whether Arizona can snap their skid against a team with more natural talent. Experts largely side with Cincinnati, but the Cardinals' ability to move the ball through the air could keep it competitive. In a "meaningless" game for standings, look for fireworks and individual performances to shine. Bengals are poised to win, likely covering in a high-scoring affair.

The Cincinnati Reds could be one bold move away from becoming serious contenders, and a potential trade for Luis Robert Jr. might be exactly what they need. In this video, we break down the idea of the Reds trading for Luis Robert, what it would cost, and how he could instantly change the outlook of Cincinnati's lineup. Luis Robert is one of the most dynamic players in Major League Baseball, combining elite power, speed, and Gold Glove–caliber defense in center field. With the Chicago White Sox possibly entering a retooling phase, trade rumors are heating up around Robert, and the Cincinnati Reds are a team that makes a lot of sense as a potential landing spot. But would the Reds be willing to part with top prospects or young MLB talent to make this deal happen? We'll analyze how Luis Robert would fit into the Reds' roster, how he complements stars like Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain, and whether Cincinnati's farm system gives them enough ammunition to pull off a blockbuster trade. We'll also discuss contract details, injury concerns, and the overall risk vs. reward of making such a high-profile move. If the Reds are serious about competing in the NL Central and making a deep playoff run, trading for a superstar like Luis Robert could be a franchise-altering decision. Is this the right time for Cincinnati to go all-in, or should they stay patient with their young core? Let us know your thoughts in the comments: Should the Cincinnati Reds trade for Luis Robert?

In a thrilling matchup, the Cincinnati Bengals delivered an explosive performance, defeating the Miami Dolphins 45-21. The Bengals showcased their offensive firepower, with standout plays and key contributions from both Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. Despite a strong first-half effort from Miami, the Dolphins struggled to keep pace as the Bengals' offense took control after halftime. The game saw Quinn Ewers stepping in for a benched Tua Tagovailoa, and though Ewers showed flashes of potential, the Dolphins' offense couldn't find enough rhythm to match the Bengals' high-powered attack. Joe Burrow was in top form, leading the Bengals with precision throws and timely decisions. Meanwhile, Ja'Marr Chase was dominant, consistently making big catches and proving why he's one of the league's top receivers. On the defensive side, the Bengals did a great job of applying pressure and forcing mistakes, including key sacks and turnovers. Miami's struggles to protect the quarterback, coupled with their inability to adjust to Cincinnati's defensive schemes, kept the game out of reach. The Dolphins' inability to capitalize on early opportunities ultimately led to their downfall. This 45-21 win marks another strong statement for the Bengals as they continue to build momentum for the season.

In this week's episode, I take a look back at my writing goals for 2025, and see how many of them I met. I also take a loog ahead at my writing goals for 2026. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in my Anthologies series at my Payhip store: STORIES2025 The coupon code is valid through December 29, 2025. So if you need a new ebook this winter, we've got you covered! 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 282 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is December 19th, 2025 and today I'm taking a look back at my writing goals from the start of 2025 and seeing how many of them I reached. We'll also take a look ahead at my writing goals for 2026. Before we get to that, we will have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing projects. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in my anthology series at my Payhip store. And that is STORIES2025. And as always, I will put the coupon code and a link to the store in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through December 29th, 2025, so if you need new ebook to read as you travel for this upcoming Christmas week, we have got you covered. A reminder that the anthology series is collections of my short stories, which I tend to release every year. And in fact, next month, if all goes well, we'll have 2025: The Complete Short Stories. Now for an update on my current writing projects. Wizard-Assassin, the fifth book in the Rivah Half-Elven series is now done. By the time this episode goes live, you should be able to get it off Amazon and Kindle Unlimited since it is my series that is in Kindle Unlimited. So I hope if you are looking for something to read, you will give that a shot. Now that Wizard-Assassin is done, my main project is going to be Blade of Storms, which will be the third book in my Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. And I believe I'm 12,000 words into that. I'm hoping to have that out in January, but depending on how January goes, it might slip to February, but January would be ideal. And after that, my next main project will be Cloak of Summoning, the 14th book in the Cloak Mage series. And I literally just started it this morning before I went to the gym, which puts me at 250 words into it, so there's definitely a ways to go in that. In audiobook news, we are still waiting on Cloak of Embers (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) to get through processing at the various platforms, which always, as you imagine, tend to slow down this time of year. And Brad Wills has just started working on recording for Blade of Shadows. So hopefully we should have Cloak of Embers available for you at all platforms before too much longer. And Blade of Shadows will probably be our first audiobook for 2026. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:28 Main Topic: 2025's Writing Goals and My Writing Goals for 2026 And speaking of 2026, in this week's episode, we're going to take a look back at my writing goals for 2025, see how many of them I met, and then look ahead for my writing goals to 2026, which is in fact just around the corner. So first off, a big thank you to everyone who read one of my books over the year of 2025. 2025 for me was an interesting year, both in a personal and a professional way, and sometimes in both the good and bad senses of the word interesting. Sales were down from 2024, but given all the economic turbulence of the year, I am grateful they were only down a relatively small amount compared to 2024. Facebook ads went from my main advertising platform at the start of 2025 to near uselessness by the end of the year due to all the AI nonsense Meta has injected into them. Spotify converted Findaway Voices to Inaudio and made a total mess of it this summer, which after that got settled is why I now upload my audiobooks directly to Google Play and Kobo rather than through Findaway Voices. It seems like a lot of companies are pursuing AI in the desperate hope that it will somehow magically become profitable even as the expense of running AI services devours them from the inside out and renders them incompetent at their primary missions. I was so annoyed at all the half-baked AI stuff Microsoft shoved into Windows 11, I did all my writing on a Mac Mini this year and have been pretty happy with it as a writing platform. Apple, of course, has AI stuff as well, but what Apple has that Microsoft doesn't is a switch that flips it all off at the system level and doesn't do any "install later" passive aggressive crap that Microsoft does. On the plus side, my Super Summer Of Finishing Things let me finish The Shield War, Stealth & Spells Online, and Ghost Armor one after another. Five unfinished series at once was too many. Three has been more manageable. And after five years, I finally got my weight down to what it was before COVID in 2025. Watching some relatives go on Ozempic and the side effects they experienced was very inspirational in the sense of wanting to avoid that experience myself. I thought I would take a lot of exercise and vegetables to do lose weight. It turns out instead it takes a whole freaking lot of exercise and a truly staggering quantity of vegetables. I tell myself the carrot sticks are really just like potato chips when I eat them, and I can almost convince myself of it. They're crunchy, right? Just like potato chips. I told myself that often enough that I very, nearly almost believe it. So let's start with a look back at my writing goals for 2025 and see how many of them I reached. #1: Write as many new words as possible, hopefully hitting one million new words of fiction in 2025. And I'm pleased to report that I hit this one. 2025 was the second year in a row where I reached a million words of new fiction and will come in at 1.12 million words with Wizard-Assassin. It did get a bit tight, but I passed the million word mark with Blade of Shadows in November, so is a nice milestone to reach. Two years of a million words in a row! #2: Finish The Shield War. I did that one! Shield of Power, the final book in The Shield War series, came out in July. It's even available in audiobook (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills). #3: Finish Ghost Armor. I did this one as well. Ghost in the Siege, the final book in the Ghost Armor series, came out in August. It's also available in audiobook (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy). #4: Continue Cloak Mage. There was a year gap after Cloak of Illusion, but I'm pleased to report I finally got back to Cloak Mage with Cloak of Worlds in October. As I mentioned earlier, in 2024, I had five unfinished series, which is way too many. So my goal was to finish some and then limit myself to only three unfinished series at any one time. By the end of summer 2025, I successfully achieved that. So going forward (barring any illness or Unexpected Events), there shouldn't be another year-long gap between Cloak Mage books. In fact, I'm hoping to write the outline for Cloak of Summoning this weekend, if all goes well. And in fact, I started this morning. #5: Continue Half-Elven Thief. It went down to the wire with only 12 days left in the month, but I was able to publish Wizard-Assassin and meet my goal. Like with Cloak Mage, there's a yearlong gap between the books, but that should be much shorter going forward. I'm hoping to start work on Rivah #6 in March or February, if all goes well. #6: Conclude Stealth & Spells Online. I did this as well. I'm not going to lie, it really was quite challenging. I originally thought of Stealth & Spells Online as a seven or eight book series, but it sold weakly enough that I didn't want to put six books' worth of effort into it. So I thought about it and figured out how to wrap up the story in one volume, and I wrote most of it at 500 words a day from like October 2024 to July 2025, squeezing it between other things as time allowed. Then in July, I was far enough along from all that cumulative work that I finished it in like one quick burst. I think I had only like one full-time day working on it. So I'm very glad that people liked the ending for the trilogy and thought that it worked. I'm hoping to release a single volume edition of the audiobook sometime in 2026, if all goes well. Fun fact: the book was 116,000 words long, and since I published 1.12 million new words in 2025, it was in fact Stealth & Spells Online: Final Quest that got me over the million word mark. #7: New epic fantasy series in the Andomhaim/Frostborn world. I did that as well with Blade of Flames and Blade of Shadows. As I mentioned before, I'm about 12,000 words in Blade of Storms, and hopefully that will be the first book I publish in 2026, ideally in January, but it might slip to February. #8: New audiobooks as time, budget, and narrator availability allow. This worked out as well. Like I said, in 2024, I've brought as many of my old series into audio as I'm going to, so instead we're going to focus on recording the books in the new series. We have books from The Shield War and Blades of Ruin narrated by Brad Wills, new books from Ghost Armor and Cloak Mage [narrated] by Hollis McCarthy, and a new Half-Elven Thief audiobook [narrated by] Leanne Woodward. So I am pleased to say that I met all my 2025 writing goals. Now with that in mind, let's take a look at what I would like to do in 2026. I'm not planning on starting anything new in 2026, but I don't think I'll reach the end of any ongoing series in that year. So basically 2026 will be The Year of Continuing. #1: Publish a million words of new fiction. I'm going to try and hit a million words again, but there's a chance ... I'm going to say right up front, there's a chance it might not work out in 2026. I'm going to have to spend at least a couple of weeks on travel, and I know for sure there are a couple of mandatory Real Life Activities that will take up an unknown amount of time. The older I get, the more I can emphasize with former UK Prime Minister, Harold McMillan when he said his biggest problems were "events, dear boy, events." But assuming we can avoid too many "events," I will aim to publish a million new words of fiction in 2026. #2: Continue Blades of Ruin. I also want to continue with Blades of Ruin, which will be my main series for a while. I'm planning for 12 books in this series, so we should hopefully make some good progress with it in 2026. #3: Continue Cloak Mage. I would also like to continue Cloak Mage in 2026. Cloak of Worlds was number 13 in the series and I'm planning for 18. Since I'm only working on three series at a time now, like I said before, we shouldn't have those yearlong gaps between books like I've had in the past for Cloak Mage. #4: Continue Half-Elven Thief. I'm also continuing Half Elven Thief in 2026. I had planned for six books originally, but there was just too much story to fit into six, so we're going to end up with nine. So I'm planning to continue that in 2026 as well. There was a year's gap between Orc-Hoard and Wizard-Assassin like there was with Cloak Mage but hopefully won't have as big a gap for Half-Elven Thief now that I'm only writing three series at the same time. #5: New audiobooks as time, budget, and narrator availability allow. I did this in 2025 and it worked pretty well. I don't want to bring any more of my old backlist books into audio, but instead I'll focus on Blades of Ruin, Cloak Mage, and Half-Elven Thief as time, budget, and narrator availability permit. #6: Other opportunities as available. I think it is fair to say we live in turbulent times, which is often unsettling. The flip side is that sometimes this can bring unexpected opportunities your way, so it's wise to remain alert and flexible. So we will see what 2026 brings. So those are my six writing goals for 2026. Once again, thanks for reading and listening. I hope I have new books for you to read in 2026. And as ever, when I make plans for the new year, it seems like a good idea to reflect on this quote from the book of James: "Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

The Cincinnati Bengals (4-10) close out their road slate Sunday in Miami against the Dolphins (6-8) in a game devoid of playoff implications for Cincy but rich with opportunity. After being officially eliminated from postseason contention, Zac Taylor's club has a chance to build momentum into 2026 and reestablish competitive identity over the final three weeks. Offensively, Joe Burrow and his talented receiving corps will look to bounce back from a tough shutout loss to Baltimore, where Burrow was held to 225 yards with two interceptions and Ja'Marr Chase still showed elite playmaking ability. Getting the offense untracked is priority one, and fresh legs in the passing game — particularly from Chase and whoever emerges as a No. 2 option — could exploit a Dolphins secondary missing playmakers at times. Cincinnati's defense, however, enters with concerns. The interior defensive line has taken hits with B.J. Hill and Kris Jenkins Jr. trending toward inactivity, and Joseph Ossai's ankle issues further weaken pass-rush depth. That could challenge a Miami attack transitioning to rookie Quinn Ewers under center after benching Tua Tagovailoa amid a season leading the league in interceptions. From a scheme standpoint, the Bengals can attack a Dolphins defense that has been inconsistent against the run and susceptible in the secondary — offering a blueprint for Cincinnati to sustain drives and flip field position. Turnovers and discipline will be key; forcing mistakes from an inexperienced Miami QB could tilt the game. Ultimately, while the Bengals aren't fighting for a playoff spot, Sunday serves as a referendum on effort, growth, and offseason trajectory. A strong road performance — especially in a physical division battle — can boost confidence and spotlight emerging core pieces heading into 2026.

Ahead of Week 16 vs. the Miami Dolphins, Bengals QB Joe Burrow addressed the media with candid, reflective, and at times cryptic comments about his mindset, the season, and his future in the NFL. In his opening remarks, Burrow made one thing clear: he still loves playing football. “I just want to play ball” was the overarching theme of his message — emphasizing that his passion for the game is what keeps him going, even through adversity. Burrow said it often feels like “everybody's trying to do everything in their power to make me not play football,” but he's fighting through it because he likes playing the game. When asked about the possibility of playing elsewhere, Burrow gave an intriguing answer: “You think about a lot of things.” While he didn't close the door on future possibilities, he also said he “can't see a world in which he's not with the Bengals in 2026.” He reiterated that he expects to play for a long time, projecting confidence in his longevity and performance at a high level, even as this season has been one of setbacks and frustration. Burrow also supported his coaches and teammates, suggesting that while changes might be needed, the organization has the right people in place — and that everyone wants the same thing: to win.

Bengals news: Paul Dehner Jr.'s recent reporting suggests that, even after missing the playoffs for a third straight season and finishing with a 4-10 record, the Bengals are unlikely to make sweeping changes at the top of the football operations or coaching hierarchy. Internally, both Duke Tobin and Zac Taylor are expected to remain with the team heading into the 2026 season rather than being dismissed. A key reason for this continuity is Tobin's deeply rooted relationship with Bengals ownership. Dehner notes that Tobin—officially titled Director of Player Personnel but functioning as the de facto general manager—is regarded almost as part of the family by owner Mike Brown and the broader leadership structure. Because of this, ownership reportedly has no internal inclination to fire Tobin, even amid external pressure and fan frustration. Taylor's situation is similar in that his contractual status strongly favors retention. Dehner explains that Taylor is under contract through the 2027 season due to an additional extension that was not widely publicized at the time. Because the Bengals rarely fire head coaches with multiple years left on their deals, and given Taylor's history leading the team to a Super Bowl and consecutive AFC Championship Games earlier in his tenure, his job is viewed as relatively secure. In short, Dehner's reporting paints a picture of ownership favoring stability and loyalty over dramatic change, even in the face of poor on-field results and vocal calls from the fan base for a reset. Both Tobin and Taylor are therefore expected to stay put for the foreseeable future. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

The Cincinnati Bengals' 2025 season has been a stark departure from expectations, and pressure is building not just on head coach Zac Taylor, but also on director of player personnel Duke Tobin and defensive coordinator Al Golden. At the heart of the frustration is a team that was once seen as perennial contenders — led by Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase — now heading toward missing the playoffs for a third straight season. Recent analysis from NFL hot seat rankings even lists Taylor among the top coaches whose jobs could be in jeopardy. For Taylor, criticism centers on game management, inconsistency, and offensive decline without Burrow healthy. With the Bengals at a losing record and recent blowout losses — such as the shutout at the hands of the Ravens — national media and fans alike are openly debating whether Taylor can right the ship. Some reports place him at risk of being fired, pointing to coaching decisions and the team's overall malaise. Behind the scenes, Duke Tobin's roster construction is increasingly questioned. As the de facto general manager, Tobin has seen the Bengals struggle to build a defense capable of complementing their offensive talent. Fans and analysts argue that draft and free-agency misses, especially on defense, have hamstrung coach and coordinator alike, contributing to the organization's slide. Meanwhile, Al Golden, brought in to fix defensive woes, hasn't turned around a unit that has been historically bad in key statistical categories this season, leading to louder calls for change. Some outlets even speculated midseason about the possibility of firing Golden, illustrating how his performance is being judged. Collectively, ownership faces mounting pressure from fans and pundits to overhaul leadership at multiple levels — a rare crossroads for a franchise that has prized continuity. The coming weeks, especially how the Bengals finish the season, could decide whether these three retain their jobs or if Cincinnati opts for a fresh start.

In a frigid Paycor Stadium showdown on December 14, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals suffered a humiliating 24-0 shutout loss to the Baltimore Ravens, officially eliminating them from playoff contention for the third straight season. The defeat dropped the Bengals to 4-10, capping one of the most disappointing campaigns in recent franchise history amid high preseason expectations. The Ravens (7-7) avenged their 32-14 Thanksgiving loss to Cincinnati just weeks earlier, delivering what coach John Harbaugh called their most complete performance of the year. Lamar Jackson, efficient on a cold day with temperatures around 10 degrees and wind chill below zero, completed 8 of 12 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns—both in the first half. He connected with rookie running back Rasheen Ali for a 30-yard score and Zay Flowers for a 28-yard strike, building a 14-0 halftime lead. Derrick Henry pounded out 100 yards on 11 carries, controlling the ground game. Cincinnati's offense, despite possessing the ball for nearly 40 minutes and running 71 plays, managed just 298 yards and no points—the first shutout of Joe Burrow's career. Burrow went 24-of-39 for 225 yards but threw two costly interceptions, including a fourth-quarter pick-six returned 95 yards (with a lateral) by Kyle Van Noy and Alohi Gilman that sealed the game at 24-0 after a field goal. Ja'Marr Chase hauled in 10 catches for 132 yards, but the Bengals repeatedly stalled in scoring position, missing receiver Tee Higgins (concussion protocol). Baltimore's defense dominated, sacking Burrow three times and forcing turnovers. The win kept the Ravens half a game behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North, fueling their playoff push after a 1-5 start. For Cincinnati, the blowout underscored defensive woes (last in the NFL in yards and points allowed) and offensive inconsistencies, shifting focus to a pivotal offseason.

In the electric hum of Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati Bengals fans have waited 11 agonizing weeks for this moment. Joe Burrow, the cool-headed gunslinger whose left big toe turned traitor in Week 2 against Jacksonville, steps onto his home turf this Sunday for the first time since that brutal turf toe rupture. What was expected to sideline him until mid-December became a defiant Thanksgiving triumph in Baltimore, where he diced up the Ravens for 261 yards and two touchdowns in a 32-14 rout. Now, at 4-9 but flickering with Burrow-fueled fire, the Bengals host Lamar Jackson and a 6-6 Ravens squad hungry for redemption. Burrow's return wasn't just early—it was engineered. Post-surgery on September 19, he rehabbed with a carbon-fiber-plated cleat, a rigid ally against backward bends that could reopen the wound. On Thanksgiving, the plate didn't cramp his style; he scrambled, play-faked, and zipped lasers to Ja'Marr Chase, shaking off rust like a champ. "I've been through a lot," Burrow reflected post-loss to Buffalo last week, his voice laced with the weight of a ruptured appendix last offseason and this season's frustrations. At 29, he's philosophical: Winning burns bright, but fun fuels the long haul. Against Buffalo, he dazzled in defeat—over 300 yards in a 39-34 heartbreaker—proving the toe's no longer a tyrant. Enter Lamar Jackson, the dual-threat dynamo who's Baltimore's heartbeat. Fresh off nagging knee, ankle, and toe woes of his own, Jackson's elusiveness torched Cincy's secondary before, but the Bengals' defense, galvanized by five Thanksgiving takeaways, smells blood. This rematch crackles with AFC North venom: Burrow's precision versus Jackson's chaos, Chase's speed against Baltimore's vaunted front. Paycor will roar as Burrow, arm cocked like a .22, aims to flip the script on a Ravens team clinging to wild-card hopes. For Burrow, it's personal—a home debut reclaiming his throne, toe be damned. Bengals Nation, starved for stripes of black and orange glory, braces for fireworks. If Thanksgiving was appetizer, Sunday's the feast. Will Burrow carve up Baltimore again, or will Lamar's legs dance away dreams? One thing's certain: The riverfront's about to rumble.  Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow delivered one of the most introspective and concerning press conferences of his career on December 10, 2025 — and the reaction from fans and analysts has been intense. Coming off a tough loss and a season plagued by injuries, Burrow openly talked about how the mental and emotional toll of the game has affected him this year. Burrow, who celebrated his 29th birthday the same day, didn't hide his feelings when asked how he's approaching football right now. Instead of his usual confident, competitive answers, he said “if I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it,” suggesting that the joy of playing has been harder to find amidst the challenges.  He admitted he's been through a lot — both physically and mentally — after multiple injuries over his six NFL seasons, including his latest turf toe setback this year. When a reporter asked whether his frustration was football-related or personal, Burrow's simple reply was “all of the above.”  These comments sparked immediate worries online, with some fans comparing his tone to that of former NFL MVP Andrew Luck before his sudden retirement.  While Burrow did not say he's considering quitting, the fact that he's openly questioning his motivation has been a rare and sobering moment.  This press conference highlights not just the physical toll of the NFL but the mental strain even superstar quarterbacks face — making this a must-watch for every Bengals fan and football follower.

In the cutthroat world of MLB free agency, few stories sting like a prodigal son choosing the bright lights of Philadelphia over his Ohio roots. On December 9, 2025, Kyle Schwarber, the Middletown native who grew up idolizing the Cincinnati Reds, inked a five-year, $150 million deal to stay with the Phillies—leaving the Reds empty-handed after a spirited but ultimately underpowered pursuit. For a franchise desperate to reignite fan passion at Great American Ball Park, this was more than a missed signing; it was a gut punch to the Queen City's baseball soul. Schwarber's 2025 season was a revelation: 56 home runs—tops in the NL—and 132 RBIs, a career zenith that vaulted him to second in MVP voting. At 32, the burly designated hitter evolved into a complete force, smashing an MLB-record 23 homers against lefties and posting a .964 OPS versus them, upending his platoon woes. His raw power, infectious energy, and Wawa-endorsed Philly flair made him the perfect leadoff masher behind Bryce Harper, fueling the Phillies' championship chase. No wonder Philly locked him up; he's their clubhouse heartbeat, a grizzled leader who bet on himself and won big. The Reds, though, saw Schwarber as destiny's gift. Just 35 miles from his boyhood diamond, he could've been the thunderous bat to complement Elly De La Cruz's spark and Jonathan India's savvy—propelling Cincinnati from rebuild purgatory to playoff contention. GM Nick Krall courted him aggressively at the GM Meetings, even hosting Schwarber and wife Paige for a November tour of GABP. Their offer? A five-year pact around $125 million, with escalators—respectable, but shy of Philly's bounty. Even the Orioles matched the Phillies' terms, only to watch Schwarber's heart pull him eastward.  This miss exposes the Reds' fiscal bind: a mid-market team chasing splashy dreams without the deep pockets of NL East behemoths. Ticket sales would've surged with "Schwar Bomb" nights echoing off the Ohio River, but instead, fans are left with echoes of 2010 glory. Pittsburgh and Boston sniffed around, too, but Cincinnati's emotional pitch fell flat against cold cash.  As Schwarber preps for another Citizens Bank Park barrage, Reds Nation mourns what could've been: a homecoming homer derby that never materialized. It's a reminder that in baseball, roots run deep, but dollars dig deeper. For now, the Phillies feast on continuity; the Reds pivot to Plan B, hoping for fireworks elsewhere. But oh, what a Schwarber-shaped hole in the lineup—and the heart. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

In a crushing blow to the Cincinnati Bengals' already sputtering defense, star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson is set to undergo core muscle surgery this week, effectively ending his 2025 campaign. The procedure, confirmed by multiple sources including ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, addresses a nagging hip/pelvis injury that has plagued the 31-year-old edge rusher since Week 6. With a recovery timeline of approximately six weeks, Hendrickson will miss the Bengals' final four regular-season games—and any slim playoff hopes they might cling to. Hendrickson's season began with promise but unraveled amid contract drama and physical setbacks. Entering 2025 as the reigning sack leader from 2024 (with a league-high 17.5 takedowns) and a first-team All-Pro, he inked a one-year, $30 million deal just before training camp after a contentious holdout. The Bengals, desperate to retain their defensive anchor, avoided a franchise tag but failed to secure a long-term extension. Hendrickson appeared in seven games, notching four sacks and 22 tackles, but his production dipped as the injury flared during a loss to the Green Bay Packers on October 13. He gutted it out for partial games against the New York Jets and others, but aggravated symptoms forced him to the sideline indefinitely after Week 8. Head coach Zac Taylor, speaking Monday, revealed Hendrickson consulted specialists at Philadelphia's Vincera Institute, opting for surgery after rest and rehab failed. "It's kind of all that," Taylor vaguely noted of the hip/core issues. For a 4-9 Bengals team three games behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North, the timing is devastating. Cincinnati's pass rush, once elite, now ranks near the bottom, exacerbating a defense that has surrendered 30-plus points in five of their last seven outings. This surgery isn't just a season-ender; it casts uncertainty over Hendrickson's Bengals future. As an unrestricted free agent in 2026, he'll command top dollar—potentially $25 million annually—from suitors like the Eagles or 49ers. The Bengals, cap-strapped with Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins, may let him walk, ending a five-year tenure that yielded 61 sacks, four Pro Bowls, and a Super Bowl window that slammed shut. Hendrickson's resilience—pushing through pain for a team that drafted him as a mid-round flier in 2020—earned him respect, but this injury symbolizes Cincinnati's broader woes: talent undermined by misfortune and mismanagement.

In the swirling snow of Highmark Stadium, the Cincinnati Bengals authored yet another chapter in their tragic playbook of late-game agony, succumbing 39-34 to the Buffalo Bills on December 7, 2025. What began as a masterclass in offensive dominance devolved into a defensive meltdown that left Who Dey Nation numb, dropping the Bengals to 4-9 and burying their faint playoff dreams under an avalanche of what-ifs. Joe Burrow, ever the unflappable gunslinger, orchestrated a clinic early on, torching Buffalo's secondary for 284 yards and four touchdowns. Ja'Marr Chase, his favorite weapon, hauled in 44 yards . The Bengals struck first with a Chase Brown 5-yard rumble, then added scores on their next two drives, converting seven of eight third-downs to build a 28-18 cushion midway through the third quarter. It felt like vintage Cincinnati: explosive, resilient, ready to flip the script on a middling season plagued by injuries and inconsistency. But as the flakes thickened, so did the cracks. Josh Allen, Buffalo's dual-threat dynamo, awakened with 251 passing yards, three aerial strikes, and a scrambling touchdown of his own. The turning point? A fumble at the goal line that the Bengals miraculously recovered—only for the defense to unravel thereafter. With 5:25 left, trailing 34-31, Bills cornerback Christian Benford snagged a telegraphed Burrow lob intended for Ja'Marr Chase, racing 63 yards untouched for the go-ahead score.  Coach Zac Taylor's postgame lament—"Just sick for the guys"—echoed the ghosts of Super Bowl LVI and countless other collapses. Three games back in the AFC North, with Pittsburgh looming, Cincinnati's 6% division odds now teeter on a miracle 4-0 finish. Burrow's stoic presser masked the frustration: "We had it. We let it slip." Fans, shivering in the stands and scrolling highlights at home, know the drill—talent squandered, heartbreak harvested. In a league of margins, the Bengals' Achilles' heel remains their inability to close. Will this be the loss that ignites a reckoning, or just another scar in the saga? For now, it's devastation, pure and piercing. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

This Sunday, December 7, at Highmark Stadium in chilly Orchard Park, NY, the Buffalo Bills (8-4) host the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) in a Week 14 NFL showdown with massive playoff stakes. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. ET on FOX, flexed from a later slot amid Cincinnati's sudden spark. The Bills, clinging to AFC East control amid a wild-card scrum, must win to stay ahead of surging rivals like the Jets and Dolphins. For the Bengals, buried in the AFC North but two games back of Baltimore, this is elimination Sunday—Joe Burrow's return has ignited faint hopes of a late miracle run. Buffalo enters as a 6-point favorite (moneyline -275; over/under 52.5), per BetMGM, with a 70% win probability from models like Dimers. Their offense hums, led by MVP frontrunner Josh Allen (30 total TDs, second in NFL). Allen's dual-threat prowess—19 passing, 11 rushing scores—pairs with the league's top ground game (155.7 yards/game). James Cook, fresh off back-to-back 100-yard outbursts, feasts against Cincy's porous run D (153.3 yards allowed, second-worst). Buffalo's defense, No. 1 in pass yards conceded (163.2/game), has rebounded lately, forcing turnovers and stifling Pittsburgh 26-7 last week. Linebacker Shaq Thompson anchors the front seven, eyeing Bengals RB Chase Brown and TEs (65 catches, 527 yards, 6 TDs). Cincinnati counters with Burrow's precision (261 yards, 2 TDs in his Week 13 return from a foot injury) and Ja'Marr Chase's wizardry (chasing 1,000 yards for a fifth straight season). Chase torched Baltimore for 110 yards, but Buffalo's secondary—featuring Rasul Douglas—ranks eighth in yards per attempt allowed (6.5). The Bengals' D, 32nd in points (31.2/game) and total yards (410/game), leans on DE Joseph Ossai (5 sacks) amid Trey Hendrickson's absence. Tee Higgins remains in concussion protocol, thinning the arsenal. Experts lean Bills in a shootout: USA TODAY predicts 28-24 Buffalo, NBC sees a 27-23 squeaker. Yet Burrow's perfect December road record (5-0) tempts upset whispers. Expect Allen to exploit gaps early, Cook to grind clock, and Burrow to rally late—but home-field and Buffalo's December dominance (23-4 since 2020) tilt the scales. Fireworks await in this AFC thriller. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

The Cincinnati Bengals' defense, once dubbed the worst in NFL history for surrendering over 400 yards per game and 32.7 points on average through 11 weeks, has undergone a dramatic transformation in the last three outings. Post-bye week, this young unit—plagued by rookie errors, poor tackling, and a lack of takeaways—has flipped the script, providing a lifeline to a 4-8 team clinging to faint playoff hopes. The turnaround ignited in Week 12 against the New England Patriots, where Cincinnati limited a surging offense to 26 points, their second-lowest yield of the season. Defensive coordinator Al Golden highlighted improved tackling and run defense, crediting middle linebacker Barrett Carter's "line of scrimmage command." Though the Bengals fell 26-20, it marked a stark contrast to prior debacles, like the 80 combined points leaked to the Bears and Jets pre-bye. Thanksgiving's 32-14 rout of the Baltimore Ravens on November 27 epitomized the surge. Facing the AFC's hottest team, the defense forced five turnovers—including three from Lamar Jackson—while sacking him thrice and holding Derrick Henry to 60 rushing yards. They allowed just 346 total yards, converted only 3-of-10 third downs, and notched their first sub-26-point game since Week 1. Rookies Demetrius Knight Jr. and Carter shone: Knight's red-zone interception and Carter's leadership in calls anchored the front seven. As Golden noted, the group is "populating the ball" more aggressively, blending sophisticated blitzes with veteran poise. Head coach Zac Taylor praised the "complete-game" effort, the first of 2025, while quarterback Joe Burrow, returning from injury, credited the "building" momentum. Even safety Geno Stone admitted fewer missed tackles, signaling growing confidence. With edge rusher Trey Hendrickson nearing return, this three-week sample—yielding 14 points per game against Baltimore and better third-down stops—hints at sustainability. For a squad eyeing a Buffalo rematch, it's not just improvement; it's redemption. The Bengals' kids have grown up, turning a liability into a weapon just in time.

In the frosty confines of Highmark Stadium, the Cincinnati Bengals square off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, December 7, 2025, in a pivotal AFC clash that pits two of the league's premier quarterbacks against each other: Joe Burrow and Josh Allen. As Week 14 unfolds, both teams jockey for playoff positioning, with the Bills clinging to a wild-card spot and the Bengals desperate to climb the standings after a rollercoaster start to the season. Joe Burrow, the Bengals' unflappable gunslinger, enters this matchup on a high note. Fresh off a triumphant return from a nagging wrist tweak earlier this year, Burrow has been surgical, posting 19.24 fantasy points in his last outing and ranking as the QB4 overall. His 2025 stats scream efficiency: over 4,000 passing yards, 30-plus touchdowns, and a completion percentage north of 68%. Armed with Ja'Marr Chase's explosive routes and Tee Higgins' red-zone prowess, Burrow thrives in shootouts. But Buffalo's secondary, led by Christian Benford and a resurgent Taron Johnson, will test him—expect Burrow to lean on quick slants and play-action to counter the Bills' blitz-heavy scheme under Sean McDermott. On the flip side, Josh Allen embodies chaos in the best way possible. The MVP frontrunner boasts a league-leading five double-digit rushing touchdowns, blending arm talent with bulldozer mobility. Averaging 25.8 points per game in fantasy terms, Allen's dual-threat nightmare—coupled with James Cook's shifty runs and Khalil Shakir's emergence—makes Buffalo's offense a juggernaut. Yet, Cincinnati's front seven, anchored by Trey Hendrickson and a healthy Sam Hubbard, poses a real threat to Allen's pocket presence. If the Bills' O-line holds, Allen could exploit the Bengals' middling pass defense for chunk plays. Head-to-head history favors Burrow slightly, with a 2-1 edge in regular-season tilts, but Allen's home-field advantage and Buffalo's 6-1 December record tilt the scales. This isn't just a quarterback duel; it's a symphony of stars—Burrow's precision versus Allen's power—where the winner could vault their squad toward January glory. Prediction: Bills edge it 31-27, but don't bet against Burrow's magic. Football at its finest. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

In the Bengals' 34-12 loss to the Steelers on November 16, 2025, defensive end Myles Murphy delivered his most commanding performance yet, a beacon of progress amid a deflating defeat. The 2023 first-round pick entered the game under scrutiny, with just 4.5 sacks through 10 outings and the Bengals' pass rush depleted by injuries to Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart. Facing a revamped Pittsburgh line featuring ex-first-rounders Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, Murphy stepped up as the de facto leader of Cincy's edge rotation. Murphy's stat line screamed dominance: a career-high seven tackles, five in the first half alone, anchoring the run defense with five stops that limited Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell's explosiveness. He led the team with six quarterback pressures, per Pro Football Focus, constantly disrupting Aaron Rodgers (and later Mason Rudolph) in the pocket. His crowning moment came midway through the second quarter: teaming with B.J. Hill for an 11-yard sack on Rodgers, a thunderous strip-sack that forced a punt and ignited Who Dey cheers in Acrisure Stadium. Murphy's bull rushes overwhelmed Fautanu, ending the rookie's recent hype, while his pursuit angles—chasing down Warren for a 3-yard stuff—showcased improved instincts and effort. This wasn't mere volume; it was refined technique. Murphy switched sides seamlessly, exploiting mismatches with violent hand usage and a low pad level honed during the bye week. Despite a roughing-the-passer flag that gifted Pittsburgh a first down and a neutral zone infraction, his motor never waned, even as the defense surrendered a pick-six and fumble return for scores in the second half. Teammates like Joseph Ossai and Cedric Johnson fed off his energy, hinting at a budding rotation. For a Bengals D ranked 28th in sacks, Murphy's breakout signals hope. At 22, he's evolving from raw athlete to disruptive force, pressuring coaches to eye his fifth-year option. In a season of 3-7 despair, this was Murphy's "put it all together" game—raw power meets football IQ. If sustained, it could salvage Cincinnati's pass rush and playoff dreams.

In the heated world of NFL rivalries, few moments capture raw emotion like a spit take—literally. On November 16, 2025, during the Pittsburgh Steelers' 34-12 demolition of the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase found himself at the center of controversy. In the fourth quarter, amid a scrum of trash talk and tangled limbs, Chase allegedly spat on Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey, igniting a brawl that saw Ramsey ejected for throwing a punch.  The incident unfolded after an earlier scuffle that drew personal foul flags on both players. Ramsey, no stranger to on-field theatrics, grabbed Chase by the facemask and unleashed a helmet-rattling swing. Post-game, Ramsey didn't mince words: "He spit on me. I don't give a f--- about football after that, respectfully. I'm all for trash talking, but that's crossing the line."  Chase, the Bengals' explosive 2021 first-round pick and three-time Pro Bowler, vehemently denied it: "I never opened my mouth to that guy. I didn't spit on nobody." But video evidence from FOX 19 cameras in Cincinnati told a different story, capturing what appeared to be a clear projectile from Chase's direction. The NFL wasted no time. On November 17, the league slapped Chase with a one-game suspension without pay, citing Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1: "any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship." He'll miss the Bengals' Week 12 clash with the New England Patriots, costing him roughly $448,333 in salary. This marks the second spitting-related ban this season, echoing Eagles DT Jalen Carter's ejection and suspension for hawking a loogie at Cowboys QB Dak Prescott in Week 1. Bengals coach Zac Taylor, while praising Chase's usual poise—"He's one of the best leaders we've got"—deemed the act "unacceptable." For a team already reeling from QB Joe Burrow's Week 2 injury and a 2-8 record, losing their 1,000-yard receiver stings. Chase, with 72 catches for 1,128 yards and 8 TDs this year, embodies Cincinnati's high-octane offense. Critics decry the league's zero-tolerance stance on such "disgusting" behavior, arguing it deters the passion that fuels football. Yet, precedents like Carter's affirm the NFL's message: Spitting isn't spirited—it's sanction-worthy. As Chase appeals (or doesn't), this episode underscores the thin line between competitive fire and foul play. In a league of gladiators, one glob of saliva can sideline a superstar. Will it humble Chase or harden his edge? Only the tape—and the tape—will tell. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).
