Bengals fans were never expecting this, but Stephen A. Smith knows the Bengals are one of the most talented teams in the NFL, and now's not the time to panic.
It's time to move on
The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a discouraging loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football. It was discouraging, but it was only a loss. At this point, how Cincinnati responds is everything.
Gilberry and Maualuga standout against Patriots
Let's give credit where it's due. While mostly the entire defensive collapsed in front of an entire nation, Wallace Gilberry and Rey Maualuga, at least, did their part.
Lewis gives Mike Nugent a vote of confidence
Since the blocked kick against the Baltimore Ravens in week one, placekicker Mike Nugent has converted only three of seven FG attempts with the longest conversion at 31 yards. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis isn't worried.
Dalton was best player for Bengals (video)
While the Bengals struggled Sunday night as a whole, Andy Dalton was arguably the best player on the field for Cincinnati.
For the love of Pete, Jermaine Gresham
The inability to have any production out of the tight ends on offense, or the obvious issues covering tight ends on defense, continue being an issue that Cincinnati has been facing for years.
Coach said Tate could return it
Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons told Brandon Tate that he can return it out of the endzone -- which he did... a lot. But if you've been given permission to do something, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a good idea.

What? The Bengals actually won at New England?
Green blames execution and defensive scheme
The Cincinnati Bengals took one on the chin, in front of the entire nation on Sunday Night Football. They lost by 26 points but it felt more than that. Dalton and Green weren't bad, but they weren't great and Cincinnati needs them to be great.
Pats Cheerleaders Don Devon Still Jersey (Video)
Patriots cheerleaders donned Still's jersey during a timeout, and NBC cameras caught them and Devon beautifully.
Bengals defense caught in early misalignments

The Cincinnati Bengals won't have Vontaze Burfict or Marvin Jones, both of whom were listed as doubtful on the team's injury report. However, New England won't have their leading tackler, Dont'a Hightower, either.
