Albert Breer goes inside Cincinnati’s efforts to bring in a new quarterback, and what his preparation was like for his first two games.

Mike Tomlin clearly has a lot of respect for Joe Flacco, but we don't have to lie about who the QB is these days.

The 2-5 Bengals will be hosting the 4-1 Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night in what is essentially a must-win game for Cincinnati.

Here is more on what Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said about the Browns GM trading away Joe Flacco to the Bengals.

As the Steelers prepare to face Flacco and the Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh’s Tomlin has questioned the Browns’ wisdom in trading the quarterback.

The Cincinnati Bengals face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a crucial AFC North game. Quarterback Joe Burrow is out with a toe injury. Backup quarterbacks Jake Browning and Joe Flacco will lead the offense.
