Breaking down the moves the Bengals have made over the last few years that have led to the team once again fielding one of the worst defensive units

The Bears are right back to guessing which quarterback they’ll face as Bengals veteran Joe Flacco deals with a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder. He didn’t practice Wednesday, and coach Zac Taylor said the decision could go all the way to Sunday morning regardless of whether he practices ahead of the Bears’ visit to Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie left guard Dylan Fairchild suffered an apparent injury during the second quarter of the team's NFL Week 8 game against the New York Jets at Paycor Stadium. Fairchild remained down at the end of a play, holding his knee. He walked off the field under his own power toward the blue medical tent.

CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Bengals set a franchise record for defensive futility in Sunday’s 39-38 loss to the New York Jets. And they are on the doorstep of setting a dubious NFL record.

Breece Hall rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns and also tossed the go-ahead 4-yard scoring pass to Mason Taylor with 1:54 left to lift visiting New York Jets to their first win of the season, 39-38 over the shocked Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Mike Florio and Chris Simms take a look at the defensive ranks for the NFC North and point to the Bengals for struggling across the board.
