Many fans decided to troll the offensive line of the Bengals, as they have been having a terrible season so far. As a result of their offensive struggles, Burrow’s numbers also took a hit. However, their defense is still playing its part, which got them two wins out of five.

Notably, Dolphins quarterback Tagovailoa suffered his first concussion against the Bills and his second concussion against the Bengals, which forced him out for a while. Speaking about Tagovailoa’s concussion injury, Burrow told the reporters that he spoke with the Dolphins’ quarterback.
“I’m glad he’s OK… I haven’t talked to him about when he’ll be back, but all the signs point to him being healthy going forward and there shouldn’t be any long-lasting effects. I’m happy for that,” Burrow said to the reporters following their Week 4 game.
Meanwhile, the Bengals came close to beating the Ravens this Sunday, as they used the ‘Philly Special’ tactic, which eventually went against them. Currently, the Bengals are sitting in the third position in the AFC North, behind the Ravens and the Browns. If they don’t want their season to be over, they must figure out their offense and get the win against the Saints next week.
