Cincinnati Bengals Summary

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has addressed speculation regarding his future with the team following their third consecutive playoff miss. Burrow emphasized that his thoughts about the future are more philosophical and not a reflection of dissatisfaction with the Bengals, stating, "You think about a lot of things" but he "can't see" himself leaving Cincinnati in 2026.

As the Bengals look to salvage their season with three remaining games, Burrow expressed his desire to continue playing despite the team's elimination from playoff contention. The Bengals will face the Miami Dolphins, who recently benched their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to give rookie Quinn Ewers a chance.

Meanwhile, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor reportedly received a secret contract extension earlier this year, which may influence his job security amid the team's struggles. In terms of player updates, Tee Higgins was limited in practice, contributing to the ongoing discussions about the team's future direction and roster adjustments.
