Overview

  • Joe Burrow practiced fully and took first‑team snaps on Wednesday and Thursday, positioning him to possibly play Sunday against New England.
  • Cincinnati is 3-7 and has allowed 27 or more points in nine straight games, the first team to do so, underscoring a season‑long defensive collapse.
  • New England enters at 9-2 on an eight‑game win streak with rookie Drake Maye leading the NFL in passing yards without a single 300‑yard game.
  • The NFL suspended Ja'Marr Chase one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey, sidelining a primary Bengals receiver for at least this week.
  • Elsewhere in Week 12, the Browns will start rookie Shedeur Sanders for the first time against the Raiders, and Giants rookie Jaxson Dart returned as a non‑contact practice participant and is on track to face the Lions.
