Best Red Zone offense in the NFL—-and breaking the 2026 rules doing it @Bengals @Hawk @athielen19

Joe Burrow leads the NFL in dropback success rate. No pass play in football has been more likely to produce a positive result through 8 weeks than a Burrow dropback. It's the highest success rate of his career and tied for the best of any QB in the last 3 seasons.

In 1968, the Bengals introduced Benzoo, a real Bengal tiger cub who was the team’s original mascot, serving at home games. Loaned to the team by the Cincinnati Zoo, Benzoo would make on-field appearances at halftime, which players would go up to and pet. Live tiger cubs were eventually phased out by the team in the 90s due to practicality reasons, as the original 13-pound cub quickly grew to 75 pounds by the end of the season, and a 350-pound tiger by the following year. The team went through as many as seven live tiger cubs in the first 15 years. Via @unitedfrontarch
