CINCINNATI — The touchdowns are flowing from Cincinnati in an absolute blitz of the New York Jets' terrible defense. Cincinnati leads 38-24 for its highest point total of the 2025 season after Chase Brown scored a short TD run to cap a six-play, 72-yard drive.

Justin Fields and the previously winless Jets ran up 502 yards and erased a 14-point deficit in the final eight minutes Sunday. Cincinnati is last in the league in scoring defense (31.6 ppg), and the Bengals have now lost three games in the previous two seasons in which they scored exactly 38 points. Joe Burrow doesn’t need to rush his rehab.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced they released defensive tackle Mike Pennel. Pennel had 15 tackles in the eight games in which he played for Cincinnati. The Bengals also placed linebacker Shaka Heyward and center Matt Lee on the reserve/injured list.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Oct. 28 that the team is working out former Baltimore Ravens safety Eddie Jackson and former Cincinnati Bengals safety Vonn Bell. Steelers safety DeShon Elliott was carted off with a knee injury during Pittsburgh's Week 8 loss to Green Bay.
