Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson and linebacker Logan Wilson didn't practice Oct. 30 as the Bengals prepare to host the Bears at Paycor Stadium.

At Wednesday’s media session, head coach Zac Taylor explained how the Bengals finally found their offensive identity through the ground game.

The Bengals acquired Flacco from the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 7 since Jake Browning was struggling to replace Joe Burrow. Flacco was an immediate upgrade over Browning and has already thrown for 784 yards through the air, seven touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He helped the Bengals beat the Steelers on "Thursday Night Football" on Oct. 16.

The NFL season continues when the Cincinnati Bengals host the New York Jets Sunday. Start time, how to watch, streaming and NFL TV schedule.

Teams coming off 1-point losses are losing again the next game at an incredible rate. The lengthy streak dates back to last year, and the Bengals started it.

Cincinnati didn't waste time making New York pay for its decision on the failed 4th-and-1 conversion. The Bengals went 35 yards on five plays in 2:41 as Joe Flacco scored on the quarterback keeper from just outside the end zone after a Semaje Perine 10-yard run was stopped just short of the goal line.

On Tuesday, the team announced it released defensive tackle Mike Pennel, a veteran who won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs. Pennel, 34, was signed to the Bengals’ practice squad on Sept. 1 and appeared in eight games for Cincinnati this season.

The Bengals have an .800 winning percentage in the uniform combination they'll be wearing Sunday against the Bears.
