The NFL is such a week-to-week league, but at least for now, the Cincinnati Bengals and their fans must feel on top of the world after Thursday night's 33-31 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It's taken a while for all the pieces to come together for this flawed 2025 Bengals team. Joe Burrow's injury was nothing less than devastating. The defense is still in a world of hurt. However, Joe Flacco showed in his 342-yard passing performance versus Pittsburgh that the squad should still have hope.
With a four-game losing streak behind Cincinnati, and a lot of runway ahead to prepare for the winless New York Jets in Week 8, it's worth highlighting a key player who deserves more love.
