It made sense if you assumed the Cincinnati Bengals would just pick up where they left off. The Bengals have a fun set of young players that made a great postseason run. A play here or there, and they’d have been Super Bowl champions. When you have a quarterback like Joe Burrow, you’re not supposed to take a step back. It appears some warning signs were ignored. The Bengals are off to a rough start to this season. They’re the first team in the Super Bowl era to start 0-2 despite being favored… Source link

Aaron Donald doesn’t want to talk about the wild helmet-swinging brawl he was involved in last month. The Los Angeles Rams star, who was seen seemingly at the center of the fight during a joint practice between the Cincinnati Bengals last month, didn’t want to get into any specifics on Monday afternoon. [It’s fantasy football season: Create or join a league now!] His attention, he said, is only on their season opener against the Bills. “I’m happy nobody got hurt in the practice and… Source link

La’el Collins, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys, has found a new home. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the offensive tackle is signing with the Cincinnati Bengals. Details about the contract weren’t immediately available. Collins had reportedly been given permission to seek a trade last week, and the Cowboys released him on Thursday. Collins was signed by the Cowboys in 2015 as an undrafted free agent, and he’d been with them ever since. He was extremely reliable early in his career,… Source link

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III didn’t play a single down in Super Bowl LVI, but he has still managed to pick up a penalty and now a fine from the game. The NFL is docking Hargreaves $5,555 for his now-infamous penalty in which he joined a Bengals interception in street clothes, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Hargreaves, announced as inactive before the game, was called for unsportsmanlike conduct. The penalty was called near the end of of the first half, when Los… Source link

The Cincinnati Bengals lost Super Bowl LVI to the Los Angeles Rams, and there were myriad reasons that can be attributed for their defeat. Among them … But here’s another one we can’t forget: Winning the turnover battle — by two, no less! — and not taking better advantage of it. Matthew Stafford threw two interceptions, and the Bengals turned those into a combined three points. The Bengals did not give the ball away all game. Bengals coach Zac Taylor agrees that the turnover advantage… Source link

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Sometime a few days before Super Bowl Week, when the Bengals got a bit of a break before everything ramped up and the team headed to California, Joe Burrow watched “A Football Life: Kurt Warner.” As Burrow marinated on Cincinnati’s 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night, he remembered something Warner said during the documentary. “He said they let it sting too much,” Burrow recalled. “They didn’t celebrate what they accomplished. Obviously it… Source link

If you are bullish on stocks, best hope the NFC’s L.A. Rams pummel Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals. That is, of course you are a big believer in the Super Bowl Indicator. The often bantered about Super Bowl Indicator suggests that stocks rise for the full year when the Super Bowl winner has come from the NFC, but when an AFC team wins it falls. Of course this is insane in principle as stocks move up and down based on expectations for the future earnings of their underlying companies (see Meta… Source link

Zac Taylor just led the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl … and he did so with the worst regular season winning percentage for any head coach to ever reach the big game, sitting at 0.337 from 2019-2021. And for one half against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game on Sunday, Taylor played the part. Between the lack of aggressive play-calling and lack of physicality against an officiating crew known to avoid throwing flags, Taylor looked outmatched against Andy Reid and the… Source link

The Los Angeles Rams are giving the Cincinnati Bengals points against the spread in Super Bowl LVI. The Rams opened as 3.5-point favorites over the Bengals after beating the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in the NFC championship game. The Bengals advanced to their first Super Bowl since 1989 with a 27-24 overtime win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game earlier in the day. The total for the game opens at 49.5. The Bengals beat the Chiefs 27-24 in a game that went under the 54.5-point… Source link

Technically, Super Bowl LVI will feature the worst matchup in history. Now that’s not to say that the game is going to be bad. Based on how Sunday’s conference championships — and the rest of the postseason — went, the game is bound to be plenty entertaining. The game, however, will be the lowest-seeded Super Bowl matchup in history. The Cincinnati Bengals, who entered the postseason as a No. 4 seed, knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs in a wild overtime battle in the AFC Championship… Source link
