This week in Bengals talk
The shows spent the week previewing a big Ravens-Bengals divisional matchup with Lamar Jackson's ankle injury status looming over everything. There's been a lot of talk about Cincinnati's offense coming out of the bye, questioning whether the under-center play-action approach is working and whether Joe Burrow can cut down on fourth-quarter mistakes. On the Ravens side, the focus keeps landing on how Jackson's mobility will matter against a Bengals defense that's been vulnerable to the run.
