ESPN's Ben Baby reported on Thursday that one of the starters from Cincinnati's Super Bowl team four years ago has requested a trade.

"Anquan Boldin," Flacco said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals .com. "Hands-wise, when he had people on him, you could throw the ball around him and knew that he was going to go fight for the football and be able to catch it with his hands."

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'marr Chase addresses the media ahead of his team's Week 8 game against the New York Jets at Paycor Stadium.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has caught a TD pass in 7 straight home games for the longest active streak in the NFL.

Aaron Rodgers nearly taking back the lead for the Steelers with a last-gasp Hail Mary attempt emphasised how close and thrilling the game was. Among the stars for the Bengals in the Week 7 win was new quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns despite only signing with the team a few days prior.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, a former University of Cincinnati Bearcats standout, is in the NFL's concussion protocol.

The Bengals NEED a counter off of this look. This is the ONLY run they have used out of this motion and formation. Watch the safety cheat down with the motion, the 4i cross face on the back block, and how prepared everyone is for it. It was a cool look weeks 1-2 but it's week 9. pic.twitter.com/FSwm0GBAU2
