New Game Time Announced: Eagles vs. Bengals

The Bengals announce the date of the return of the rare White Bengal

Joe Burrow, the highest-paid lobbyist in America, spent last week convincing his coaches and medical staff that his strained right calf could survive Monday night's Paycor Stadium game with the Rams. Then he went out and showed his teammates why you can never count him or them out in a 19-16 victory.

The best news that came out of the Bengals' utterly necessary 19-16 win over the Rams Monday night, besides not having to incessantly hear for the next five days how they have less than a three percent chance to make the playoffs at 0-3, is that quarterback Joe Burrow's strained calf feels better now than it did after last week's game against Baltimore.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow added to the legend Monday night in the game he refused to miss when he gutted out the win the Bengals had to have to avoid 0-3 as he negotiated a 19-16 victory over the Rams.

Bengals running back Joe Mixon is on pace to smash Rudi Johnson's 18-year-old team record by 45 touches after he put his hand on the ball 28 times in Thursday night's 27-15 win over the Dolphins at sold-out Paycor Stadium.

Don't look now, but the Bengals defense is as white hot as the record Paycor crowd of 67,270 that watched them Thursday night dismantle the undefeated Dolphins and their eighth-ranked offense.

After playing in front of the largest crowd ever to watch the NFL in Cincinnati, the Bengals said they felt the crowd of 67,260 early and often during the 27-15 win over the undefeated Dolphins in the Paycor Stadium White Out.

On Ring of Honor night installing two offensive legends before a Paycor Stadium record crowd of 67,260, the defense flexed its muscles Thursday night with strong safety Vonn Bell's second interception of the game at the Bengals 9 with three minutes left on the way to a rollicking 27-15 victory over the undefeated Dolphins.
