Sunday Night Football is just around the corner, and Cincinnati Bengals fans are in high spirits! Their recent 37-27 victory over the Tennessee Titans showcased phenomenal gameplay from the team. The highlight? Joe Burrow’s impressive performance, rushing for 271 yards and throwing 3 passing touchdowns.
As the postseason approaches, the timing is perfect for the Bengals to make a statement as they take on the Cleveland Browns tomorrow. Despite facing several injuries this season, Burrow was a standout in week 15. Bengals’ head coach, Zac Taylor, has confirmed that the QB will be ready for the week 16 matchup against Cleveland.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins and QB Joe Burrow are good to go for Sunday’s game against the Browns.
For those of you in fantasy playoffs, I asked Zac Taylor if any injuries should could impact their workload. He said they would not.

Before moving forward, let’s discuss the injury updates for the Bengals. Reports from the Cincinnati locker room indicate that Orlando Brown Jr., Alex Cappa, and Charlie Jones are all questionable for tomorrow’s game. Brown is dealing with a fibula injury and has already missed several key games. Cappa and Jones are also facing injuries with concussion and groin issues, respectively.
The Bengals’ challenges continue as Sam Hubbard (knee), Tanner Hudson (knee), and Sheldon Rankins (illness) have been ruled out for the game. This puts additional pressure on the QB to perform despite the workload.
When asked if these injuries could affect the team’s performance, coach Zac Taylor stated that they would not impact the workload. Fans can take comfort knowing that the head coach has strategies to help manage the QB’s responsibility.
Injuries have plagued the Bengals since the start of the regular season, with Tee Higgins being one of the earliest players to sustain a hamstring injury. After missing two weeks, he has become a crucial asset in Joe Burrow’s offensive lineup this season.
Remember that 38-yard touchdown pass against the Titans last week that broke the 14-14 tie in the second half? Well, as it turned out, that TD from Higgins pretty much set the 37-27 win over the Tennessee team on Sunday. After returning from the injury, Higgins is stepping up and making crucial plays on the field. And that’s what Burrow and the HC are craving from the 25-year-old wideout. Once Again.
As the Bengals are marching towards the playoffs, Higgins’ ability to step up is exactly what the Cincinnati team’s fans need right now. Well, there is no wonder that Burrow’s the one who’ll make big plays, but stepping in to share the load up, the Bengal’s O-line becomes much harder to stop.
