Joe Burrow Unable To Lead Cincinnati To A Win

Sunday, October 27, 4:53 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 234 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 26-for-37 passing in Sunday's meeting with the Eagles. He added three carries for 15 yards. The Bengals were without Tee Higgins (quadriceps), who had three touchdowns in the previous three games. However, the signal-caller still had an acceptable showing, although his efforts couldn't bring his team to .500. Hopefully, Higgins will be healthy enough to return for the Week 9 matchup with the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Still, even if Higgins isn't back on the field, Burrow should remain a starting fantasy option.

Jalen Hurts Tallies Four Touchdown In Blowout Win

Sunday, October 27, 7:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 16 of 20 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown and took 10 carries for 37 yards and three additional scores during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Eagles offense was barely on the field in the first quarter due to a long Bengals offensive drive, leading to another week without points scored in the first 15 minutes of play. However, Philadelphia turned things up on both sides of the ball after this and the 26-year-old was everything for the offense in Week 8. Running back Saquon Barkley had a few scoring opportunities taken from him due to three brotherly shove touchdown runs by Hurts, but this was the best game the Eagles signal-caller has looked as a passer all season as well. This offense has been clicking since the bye week and Hurts has not turned the ball over while scoring a total of nine touchdowns in the past three weeks. Moving into Week 8, Hurts and the Birds face off against one of the worst defenses in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
