Some fans believe the Cincinnati Bengals have wasted opportunities for decades, even with elite quarterbacks. From Carson Palmer to Joe Burrow, the frustration has always been the same: talent without enough organizational support.

How good will Jahmyr Gibbs be in the long run? He just made history by passing Barry Sanders. Gibbs now has 58 touchdowns before his 25th birthday, surpassing Sanders’ 57. He ran for 151 yards and two scores in Detroit’s big win.

Who thought it made sense to fine NFL players for simple celebrations? Jamar Chase and T. Higgins were fined 14,000 and 11,000 respectively. Their crime? Doing the "People's Elbow" and pretending to drink a beer. Chase appealed the fines.

Why isn't Brian Flores an NFL head coach? My boy KO experiment is looking like the steal of the year. Kyler Murray had his cleanest game of the season. He went 24-30 for 2:29 touchdown and no picks. His rating was 109.6. Murray added 51 rushing yards.

What is truly happening with the Chargers at 0-5? The league is tough. Every game brings different factors. They can run and throw the ball. Their defense puts in good effort. But at the end, they make mistakes. They just do not know how to finish games.

How long do the Raiders wait to put Mendoza in as starter? I believe Mendoza will start games this season. The Raiders did not expect their 3-0 start, and now they face a challenging 5-week period. They could go 1-4 in that stretch.

What went wrong for Arch Manning against Oklahoma? Oklahoma won 27-24 with a kick at the horn. The game was tied 24-24. Courtland Gillroy's interception of Manning set up the winning play. Manning's fourth-quarter interception was a backbreaker for Texas.

How do you lose an NFL game with 8 seconds left when you just scored? The Eagles had taken the lead. Jake Elliott's field goal put them ahead. But the coach made a critical decision. He chose to keep the final kickoff in play. This allowed Amir Abdulla to break a long return.

How did Mike Ditka surprise people off the field? He was a beast on the football field. He became the first 1,000-yard tight end in a 12-game season. He was a legendary coach and Hall of Famer. But working with him at ESPN for nine years showed me something else.

Is Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade to Houston a fresh start? He reunites with CJ Stroud, his Ohio State quarterback. Stroud called him "probably the hardest worker I've ever been around." This reunion offers a fresh beginning. I am happy for him.

What would Bill Belichick say after a big college win? He is known for his short, direct answers. His focus always remains on the next opponent. I think even a big win wouldn't change his approach. North Carolina just got their first ranked win under him.

Was the crucial down spot a bad call? A recent game ended on a critical fourth-quarter down spot. The officials ruled the player short of the line to gain. The call survived review because no angle definitively showed the first down. For me, understanding this situation was easy.

Which NFL defenders were the hardest-hitting dudes? It really comes down to speed versus size. Sometimes it is those tweener safety-type missiles. Think about guys like Sean Taylor or Ronnie Lott. I would much rather be hit by a linebacker.

Have we lost something important in how we train athletes today? I've observed a significant difference between this generation of athletes and the two before it. The key factor is stamina. They undeniably show more skill in many areas.

Is Tyreek Hill's agent really in talks with teams because of recent receiver injuries? Drew Rosenhouse and Tyreek Hill have been in constant conversation with teams. They were not waiting for a Kansas City receiver to dislocate an ankle.

Could Randy Moss make catches nobody else could dream of? We often talk about the greatest wide receivers. Randy Moss is always in that conversation for his overall game. But his hands specifically were elite.
