With dark clouds looming over Joe Burrow&#8217;s sprained wrist, nary a ray of sunshine lights Cincinnati on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Cincy sits 5-5, No. 10 in the AFC ahead of the rest of Week 11&#8217;s games, and well behind the AFC North-leading Ravens at 8-3. Thursday&#8217;s loss pushed the Bengals to 0-3 in division games this season, including twice to Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals remaining seven games are a gauntlet:<\/p>\n<p>Week 12: vs. Pittsburgh (6-3)<br \/>Week 13: at Jacksonville (6-3)<br \/>Week 14: vs. Indianapolis (5-5)<br \/>Week 15: vs. Minnesota (6-4)<br \/>Week 16: at Pittsburgh (6-3)<br \/>Week 17: at Kansas City (7-2)<br \/>Week 18: vs. Cleveland (6-3)<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 11: What We Learned from Ravens&#x27; win over Bengals on Thursday night            <\/li>\n<li>              Bengals QB Joe Burrow suffers apparent sprained wrist in Thursday&#x27;s loss to Ravens            <\/li>\n<li>              Ravens TE Mark Andrews suffers &#x27;serious&#x27; ankle injury likely to be season ending            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if Burrow were fully healthy, clawing back in would be a tricky proposition after the early-season stumbles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s big. He&#8217;s a top two quarterback in this league,&#8221; cornerback Mike Hilton\u00a0said of Burrow&#8217;s loss, via the team&#8217;s official website. &#8220;It definitely makes it harder, but no excuses. Next man up. Especially on the defense and we have to turn our notch up a little more and try to get our offense on short fields. We feel like he&#8217;ll be ready for next week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The division might be out of reach, but we still have a chance to get to the playoffs and that&#8217;s our main goal. I feel like if we get to the playoffs, we&#8217;ll be a scary team to face.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How much of a fight the Bengals can put up will likely depend on the severity of Burrow&#8217;s wrist injury. Jake Browning\u00a0took over Thursday night and looked better than he did during preseason action, but asking a QB with 15 career pass attempts to spearhead the offense for that stretch run is a precarious proposition.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The Bengals positioned themselves for another deep playoff run before a big 2024 offseason, wherein they&#8217;ll have to decide on the futures of key players like Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.<\/p>\n<p>Zac Taylor&#8217;s club stubbed their toe out of the gate, starting 1-3, before four straight wins got them back in the hunt. Back-to-back losses and Burrow&#8217;s injury now put the reigning AFC North champs in danger of completely missing the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor knows that weathering the current storm will take a week-by-week approach, and every man on the roster contributing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t get it twisted on what kind of team we have,&#8221; Taylor said, via the Associated Press. &#8220;We have a chance to regroup. All the things that we really want to do are still in front of us. We control our own destiny at this point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;In a long season like this, what you&#8217;ve got to do is be able to regroup. We&#8217;ve done this kind of situation before. We&#8217;ve got to rally these last seven weeks. Great opportunity at home against Pittsburgh to get started on that track.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/bengals-cb-mike-hilton-on-joe-burrow-s-injury-division-might-be-out-of-reach-but\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bengals&#8217;
