Josh Bynes did exactly what the Bengals brought him in to do.

The Bengals selected Logan Wilson in the third-round (65th overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft.  The rookie linebacker had a solid season for the Bengals, finishing with 33 tackles (four for loss) two interceptions and one sack. Wilson appeared in twelve games for the Bengals in 2020. He missed the final three games of the season with an ankle injury.  Linebacker was a huge need for Cincinnati last offseason and they went all-in to fix the issue in the draft. They used three of their seven picks o...

How would the Bengals’ season finished if Burrow stayed healthy? Would they be pushing .500 with wins over Washington, New York and Miami to go with a statement win over Pittsburgh?

Winners Brandon Allen: If there was any doubt that Allen was the Bengals’ best backup quarterback, it’s been completely erased. Allen was as accurate as we’ve ever seen him Sunday against a depleted Texans’ secondary. He finished the game with 371 yards on 29/37 passing and two touchdowns. He had more to work with than Deshaun Watson had, but he finished strong against the Texans’ elite young quarterback on the road. Samaje Perine: There’s a real argument for Perine being the Benga...

With linebacker Logan Wilson inactive with an ankle injury, seventh-round pick Markus Bailey could get extended snaps Monday night against the Steelers at Paul Brown Stadium. Bailey, a Columbus, Ohio product out of Purdue, has played in the last seven games primarily on special teams and has taken just 16 scrimmage snaps.
