Why This Might Be The Year That Joe Burrow, Bengals Get Over The Hump

Are the Bengals back? Joe Burrow is off to the best start of his career (league-leading numbers, 5-2 record) and an easy slate could fuel a playoff push and even MVP talk.
Cincinnati’s defense has flipped the script — big improvements in points allowed and red‑zone stops, plus a suddenly dominant pass rush (on pace for a franchise‑record in sacks).
Fun NFL oddities to swap: Tampa Bay won 16-0 without completing a pass, Falcons WR Drake London has more tackles than catches this year, and the Raiders’ Dylan Laube ran back the league’s first kickoff TD.
