Defense hits erase as Falcons loom
Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and his defensive coordinator Teryl Austin have been around long enough to know September isn’t December.

Winners and losers from the Bengals’ Week 3 loss to the Panthers
For the average NFL team, the difference between starting 3-0 and 2-1 is quite disparate. Per Pro Football Reference, teams opening with a 3-0 record in the current playoff format earn postseason berths 72.3% of the time. A 2-1 start, on the other hand, gives clubs only a 52.3% chance at making the playoffs.
Bengals' defense surprised, flattened by Panthers

Bengals' turnover magic ran out against Panthers

Cincinnati Bengals lose Ryan Glasgow to season-ending injury
Rapoport said Glasgow, a second-year player from the University of Michigan, suffered a torn ACL. Glasgow, a key reserve, played in all three games this season and appeared in all 16 games as a rookie. Glasgow, a 6-foot-3, 300-pounder, was a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in 2017.
Bengals’ Green on groin injury: ‘I’ll be fine’

Marvin Lewis wants John Ross to better ‘protect his quarterback’
John Ross is the biggest talking point coming out of the Cincinnati Bengals’ 31-21 loss to the Carolina Panthers — for all the wrong reasons. Ross was the intended target on two Andy Dalton interceptions, making him a target for an overall miserable day. A.J. Green had already talked about the issues.
What’s next for Bengals defensive line after Ryan Glasgow tears ACL?
