The Bengals rank last in the NFL in scoring defense and total defense. Many of the rest of their numbers don't look much better.

CINCINNATI — Ja'Marr Chase had a blank face of disgust after the Bengals' 39-38 loss to the Jets, wasting another stellar outing by the Bengals' top healthy offensive player. Chase had 12 catches for 91 yards in the loss, which saw Cincinnati lose its third of four games since the start of last year when scoring 38-plus points.

While much of the blame for Sunday's Bengals loss to the Jets, Zac Taylor also said the offense played a part in Cincinnati's fourth-quarter collapse.

CINCINNATI — Bengals linebacker Shaka Heyward suffered a leg injury (fibula) in the first half of Sunday's game against the Jets and didn't return. The special teams' ace will miss at least four weeks according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The curtain has been peeled back on why these Bengals may just be the “same old Bengals.” There are few, if any, Bengals fans who have faith in this front office to get the Bengals back to Super Bowl contention. With Joe Burrow, they shouldn’t be feeling this way. It should be different, but it’s not.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Shaka Heyward reportedly is expected to miss about four weeks with a hairline fracture to his left fibula.
