Stafford passed for a touchdown but had two passes intercepted in a 30-23 defeat by the San Francisco 49ers. He has been sacked only once. Rookie Puka Nacua looks to continue his record-setting pace. Nacua has a league-leading 25 receptions, the most by a rookie receiver in his first two games in NFL history. Nacua was listed as questionable because of an oblique injury, but he is expected to start alongside Tutu Atwell and Van Jefferson. With Cam Akers traded to the Minnesota Vikings, second-year pro Kyren Williams is the undisputed starter at running back. Ronnie Rivers and Royce Freeman are expected to back up Williams, who scored two touchdowns in each of the first two games. Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo oversees a unit that features ends Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson and middle linebacker Germaine Pratt. The secondary includes cornerback Chidobe Awuzie and former Rams safety Nick Scott. When Bengals have the ball Quarterback Joe Burrow, who signed a $275-million extension before the season, has been hindered by a calf injury. Burrow is listed as questionable, and coach Zac Taylor has said it could come down to a game-time decision. Backup Jake Browning has played only four NFL snaps and has one passing attempt. The Bengals last week signed quarterbacks Reid Sinnett and AJ McCarron to the practice squad. Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd can be among the NFL’s most dynamic trio of receivers. But look for the Bengals to rely on running back Joe Mixon. The Rams defense is in search of its first turnover. Star defensive lineman Aaron Donald did not make a tackle in the defeat by the 49ers, the first time since 2020 that the three-time NFL defensive player of the year was shut out. Rookie edge rusher Byron Young has 1½ sacks for a unit that has played better than most pundits expected. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris has seen a young secondary play fairly well, but the Rams’ young front must produce more pressure to create interceptions and fumbles. When they kick It should be entertaining when the Rams punt. Rookie Ethan Evans has punted only three times — one traveled 72 yards — and he is averaging 51 yards per kick. Bengals rookie Charlie Jones returned a punt 81 yards for a touchdown in the Bengals’ 27-24 defeat by the Baltimore Ravens. Gary Klein’s prediction The Rams would be hard-pressed to win if Burrow was physically sound and playing well. But if he remains hindered or sits out, the Rams will escape with a victory.

Tonight's the Night. But not for Travis Kelch.

Not to Travis Kelch.

He'll be in IR with a broken ❤️ and severe bruising from being kicked to the curb before they're bye week. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. He's not worthy and she is a man eater (not that way). Glad the arrogant turd has a distraction during the season.

Tennatucky 3 ... Elfland D and the Refs 27 ** Is there a stat for the most penalties on both teams called in a game. This shit show had to be close. Bawling Whore and Justin Choker 19 ... Clots and the OT refs 22 Love a screen shot of Jackson at the end of the game. Tonite... Gooooo Las Vegas Sois! Tomorrow Night... Goooo Jake and the White Tigers beat the Rims.

And Little Richard is dead.

I guess Up With People was already booked. Too bad.

Tomorrow Night's the Night.

I think sitting Joe would be the wisest thing to do but lots of pressure to play him and risk further injury in the overly hyped game. Will Zac cave? The Magic 8 Ball sez "Most Likely". With our fantastic wide receiver corps, just getting the ball near them to high point or make circus catch is a good idea. Joe's interception vs Baltimore looked like Jon Kitna deja vu... no zip, no touch and right into the defenders face. That's not the Joe we know and love. I think Browning is quite serviceable for this esp since the Rims will be focusing on stopping the Joe Mixon running game. Won't happen but I wouldn't mind seeing McCarron play Mighty Mouse: "Here I come to save the dayyyyyy". The Irv Smurf late week practice injury may be more telling. Something Rotten in Riverfront... Too early to pull the plug but not too early to pump the brakes. Afterthought: Wasn't the knock on Smurf that he was injury prone and couldn't stay healthy? Yeah, bring up Tanner Hudson from the practice squad or ever the intriguing former Steeler tight end, 6'8", 270 lb Zach Gentry (#82) for blocking as much as anything else. Don't pull Trey Hendrickson for Mild Murphy. Ever. See if we see Cam Target-Britt of not.

And Taylor Swift. Eat your ❤️ out, Travis Kelch.

Not good enough with my Tandy Commodore to do fancy schmaltzy stuff like that.

I think that would be the wise thing to do so they won't do it. Week Four we will be watching McCarron to Chase and Higgins.

Kelsey Conway @KelseyLConway Wow huge Bengals news AJ McCarron is here at the Bengals facility dressed in an orange jersey (No.4) with cleats and a football in hand He said he’s here to workout ::::::::: Yeah, old news but anything involving Kelsey Conway is worth posting She's such a bae!

To be honest, with the major exception of Squeeler games, the Bengal games are relatively fight free, with a few exceptions. Seeing a lot more and brutal fights league wide which seems to be a reflection of our society recently.

The Ravens will be without eight starters on Sunday against the Colts. Baltimore had already put starting defensive back Ar'Darius Washington on injured reserve, and then listed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle), offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (knee), center Tyler Linderbaum (ankle), running back Justice Hill (foot), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot), safety Marcus Williams (pectoral) and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh (ankle) as out on the weekly injury report. That's bad news.

Someone whose moniker shall not be mentioned tagged in Taylor Target-Britt earlier for this reason. He and the entire Kindervelt defensive backfield are suffering from immaturity, lack of playing time together and lack of push from the defensive line. That said... why are they pulling Hendrickson to play Myles Murphy and watch him pillow fight and do the moon walk backwards? Not down on him but this seems to be one of the Bengals' biggest weaknesses... trying to pound square pegs into round hole.

Kansas City playoffs deja vu all over again. And going for Joe's knees is going to go on all season long.

Joe was getting fashion advice from Mike Brown. Told to me by a friend.

I would like to see him as the Ruler of the Jungle some week. Maybe the Pittsburgh game. NO

A positive note (on here?) is that we have dynamic wide receivers who can and do make incredible plays. This includes Tyler Irwin. With the quick hit, short and medium stuff with Browning as qb could surprise a lot of people.

Was just going to say none of the suggested qbs know our system so bringing back someone like Sinnett would be a better call.

Ugh! Hope you are only on the inactive list for the weekend and don't have to be put on IR for a longer stint. Hope you get healthier and feel better.
