CINCINNATI — What a flip of the script by the Bengals defense. Al Golden's unit was on pace to be the worst DVOA defense in the history of the metric (started in 1978) a little past the midway point of the season, but they've completely turned that around over the last six weeks of play.

Bengals DC Al Golden cracked a joke after rookie Shemar Stewart finally logged his first career sack, a long-awaited moment.

Myles Garrett is one sack shy of breaking the NFL's single-season sack record of 22.5 held jointly by Michael Strahan (2001) and T.J. Watt. (2021).

Granted, vibes are great right now. The Bengals have ripped off two straight wins. They’re 3-2 since Burrow’s return in late November and trouncing the Cardinals in one of the most lopsided games of the entire season has offered a glimpse of what could’ve been if Joe Burrow hadn’t gotten hurt.

The Browns wrap up the regular season at Cincinnati against a Bengals squad that has outscored their opponents 82-35 the past two games. Cincinnati won the Week 1 matchup 17-16 and has a four-game winning streak in the "Battle of Ohio."

The Cincinnati Bengals ' opponents for the 2026 NFL regular season are set, with the team's third-place finish in the AFC North this season.

The Cincinnati Bengals have just two games left before the season comes to a close. Those games won’t have playoff implications after the season went off the rails in more ways than one. As such, there’s a balancing act between wanting to win the remaining games and thinking about the future.

The Cincinnati Bengals released their inactive list 90 minutes before kicking off in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals. There were no surprises. Tight end Noah Fant and defensive tackle B.J. Hill, both questionable to play on the Bengals' final injury report, would suit up.
