Quick Hits: Calling All Backers; Wilson Returns With Second Best Ever; Coaches Salute Dalton
The day after the Bengals’ 49-13 loss to the Ravens, head coach Zac Taylor issued an all-points bulletin for his linebackers in the wake of Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson’s perfect passer rating and an option run game that for 5.9 yards per carry.
What Zac Taylor Said About Team Momentum, The Run Game And Injury Updates
“He’s been making progress every week. Really, it’s a shame that he went down because there were really good things he was doing on tape. (Baltimore has a) physical front and physical ends, and the play he got hurt on was really a great block on the back side of a run. He was really making progress, so that was frustrating to see him go down because I felt it was really ‘arrow-up’ with him over these last couple weeks. We’ve seen enough good things from him, and he was playing well in that game.”

Mistakes not only thing to look for in evaluating Bengals QB Ryan Finley

Winless Bengals joining ranks of franchise’s worst teams

Cincinnati Bengals: Comparing Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa
They each have different leadership styles. Tagovailoa has a calmer demeanor that demands the respect of his opponents and raises the level of play in his teammates.

Lions explain decision to sit Matthew Stafford Sunday
Stafford spent the week leading up to Sunday's Lions-Bears game as a limited participant in practice and was listed as questionable for the contest with a back injury. It was unexpected, then, when Stafford ended up spending the game on the sideline in a hoodie and sweatpants as an inactive player instead of at least dressing for action.
Injuries: Devonta Freeman (foot) could miss 2 weeks
Falcons running back Devonta Freeman could be out about two weeks with a foot sprain, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed. It's relatively minor, though it's an injury that affects the toe more than the foot, Rapoport added.
Garrett: Cowboys didn't communicate on fair catch
With Austin's Dallas Cowboys trailing the Minnesota Vikings 28-24 with 0:24 left to play and Minnesota's Britton Colquitt back to punt, Austin had a chance to make an impact. It seemed like the ideal situation for him to use his speed to flip the field and put the Cowboys in a position for a realistic shot or two at the end zone, if not just score the go-ahead touchdown himself.

Callahan added that Case Keenum will serve as Haskins' backup, while Colt McCoy will be the No. 3 quarterback.
