Dan and Lap on who goes when/if Burfict returns
Dan Hoard and Dave Lapham had an interesting discussion about Vontaze Burfict during Friday's Bengals Pep Rally on ESPN 1530. Take a listen to their breakdown of who might get cut in order to create a roster spot for Burfict:
Clint Boling says Andy Dalton is an "Elite" QB
After a Pro Bowl-caliber start to the 2015 season, Andy Dalton‘s play has finally brought up questions of whether or not he is an elite quarterback. It’s obviously too early to tell, but Dalton’s play has clearly instilled confidence in his teammates.
Cincinnati Bengals in control of AFC North, have lots to watch on bye
The Cincinnati Bengals (6-0) are off this week, and won't be taking on anyone. They will return to action at 1 p.m. ET next Sunday when they visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the Bengals enjoy the last bit of their bye, here are things to watch for in other games this weekend.
Comparing the three Bengals teams that started 6-0
This year's Bengals team joined the 1975 and 1988 Bengals teams as the only ones in franchise history to start a season with a 6-0 record, but where does it compare with those two teams?
How Bengals are scheduling health, success
There were slow walks through the Cincinnati Bengals' locker room the week of October 12th, but it had very little to do with the swagger earned from a comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Burfict, Ogbuehi facing "critical days" if they hope to help Bengals this season
The Bengals are 6-0, as healthy as a team six games into a season can be and get this weekend to rest before a Nov. 1 game at Pittsburgh that could potentially create a whole bunch of separation between the Bengals and the rest of the AFC North.
Unbeaten Bengals feel they can finally go deep in playoffs
The previous time the Bengals started so well, they went to the Super Bowl. And that fact is not lost on this 6-0 team as it enjoys its bye week.

Pittsburgh Steelers Rumors: Ben Roethlisberger Unlikely To Play Against Chiefs
Ben Roethlisberger was recently upgraded to questionable for the Pittsburgh Steelers game against the Kansas City Chiefs tomorrow at 1 p.m., but it appears as though he will only be a spectator. Despite backup quarterback Michael Vick being awful in the past few games, the Steelers still have an impressive 4-2 record, which is good for 2nd place in the AFC North. While Roethlisberger is clearly close to getting back to 100 percent health, rushing him back against a putrid Chiefs team is not something that appears to be in the cards for the Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers activate QB/WR Tyler Murphy, IR Cortez Allen
Tyler Murphy rejoined the Pittsburgh Steelers' 53-man roster on Saturday. The team activated Murphy from the practice squad and placed cornerback Cortez Allen on the injured-reserve list ahead of Pittsburgh's 1 p.m. kickoff against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
