Overview

  • Cincinnati fell to 2-2 with a 28-3 loss to Denver, where Jake Browning threw for 125 yards in his second straight start.
  • Analysts at The Sporting News advocate trading for Russell Wilson, citing his benching in New York and a manageable $10.5 million one-year deal.
  • Fans and media also point to Kirk Cousins and Jameis Winston as potential upgrades, though any midseason move is viewed as an imperfect solution.
  • The team has $276 million committed to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, intensifying worries about wasting a prime year as production dips continue.
  • With Burrow out until at least mid-December, coverage urges the Bengals' front office to explore veteran options this week rather than ride out Browning's slump.
