Season 5 · Episode 41
Monday, November 17, 2025 • Duration 33:09
PITTSBURGH -- The Bengals saw any realistic chance of competing for the AFC North come to an end Sunday with an ugly 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. The game was ugly in many facets, the Steelers had two defensive scores, Joe Flacco came back to earth and Ja'Marr Chase and Jalen Ramsey got into it, with Ramsey getting ejected for grabbing Chase's facemask and video emerging postgame that Chase spit in the face of Ramsey to spark the brawl. The Bengals looked undisciplined and unprepared again in falling to 3-7 on the season.

Jungle Roar Postgame Heads Should Roll - But Likely Won't - After Another Pathetic Defensive Effort
Season 5 · Episode 39
Monday, November 3, 2025 • Duration 45:23
CINCINNATI -- Just when you thought it couldn't get worse. Meet the 2025 Bengals defense. After one of the more heroic quarterback performances in franchise history, the defense found a way to completely and utterly mess themselves with a collapse that may have outdone the epic fail one week earlier against a winless Jets team. Caleb Williams found Colston Loveland with 17 seconds left for a 58-yard go-ahead touchdown to lead the visiting Chicago Bears to a wild 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday in Cincinnati. Jobs should be lost at every level after what the Bengals have done the last two weeks at home. Skinny joins Trags to explain why with the failing football operations and ownership, it almost certainly won't.
Loveland caught the pass at the Cincinnati 40 and broke a Jordan Battle tackle attempt and outraced the Cincinnati secondary for the score. The game ended on the interception of Joe Flacco’s Hail Mary pass 20 yards shy of the end zone. Loveland had a pair of touchdown grabs and stepped up for Cole Kmet, who didn’t play in the second half due to a concussion.
Flacco, playing with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, completed 31-of-47 passes and threw for a career-high 470 yards and four touchdowns for the Bengals (3-6), who lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Jungle Roar Bengals Postgame Who's To Blame? Bengals Self Destruct In Inexecusable Loss To Jets
Season 5 · Episode 38
Monday, November 3, 2025 • Duration 41:32
CINCINNATI -- The Bengals defense allowed 502 yards of total offense to Justin Fields and the Jets and blew fourth quarter leads of 31-16 and 38-24 to lose to the previously winless New York Jets at Paycor Stadium. The loss was as inexplicable as it was inexcusable. The Bengals are now 3-5 and left to wonder how to fix a defense that can't rush the quarterback or stop the run. Will a loss like this finally shine a light on the deficiencies of the front office? Richard Skinner of Local 12 joins Trags to discuss. The Bengals again were throttled on defense due to poor tackling and blown assignments. The loss overshadowed a terrific game from running back Chase Brown who had a touchdown run and a touchdown catch.

Jungle Roar Bengals Postgame Joe Flacco, Ja Marr Chase Revive Bengals in Electric Win Over Steelers
Season 5 · Episode 37
Friday, October 17, 2025 • Duration 40:35
CINCINNATI — It was Joe Flacco and Ja'Marr Chase to the rescue Thursday night when the Bengals absolutely needed it. Evan McPherson’s fourth field goal of the night, from 36 yards with seven seconds remaining, lifted the Cincinnati Bengals past the Pittsburgh Steelers, 33-31, on Thursday night in Cincinnati. The play was set up on a perfect lob from Flacco to Tee Higgins for 28 yards from the Pittsburgh 35. Higgins slid to the Pittsburgh 7 and the Bengals were able to essentially kill the remainder of the clock before McPherson's game-winning kick. The Bengals (3-4) snapped a four-game losing streak and won for the first time since Joe Burrow was injured on Sept. 14. The Steelers (4-2) fell for the first time this season on the road.
Trags and Skinny break it all down in this episode of the Jungle Roar Bengals Postgame Pod.
Burrow’s replacement, Flacco completed 31-of-47 passes for 342 yards and threw three touchdowns while Rodgers threw a pair of touchdown passes to tight end Pat Freiermuth, including a 68-yarder for the go-ahead score with over two minutes to go to put the Steelers up, 31-30. Rodgers finished with four touchdown passes in total, all to tight ends.

Aaron Rodgers vs. Joe Flacco didn’t disappoint in the fourth-ever matchup of 40-year-old quarterbacks.
With Cincinnati's lead pass rusher Trey Hendrickson out with a hip injury, the 41-year-old Rodgers was able to scramble often, buying more time to find receivers downfield. Rodgers finished 22-of-32 for 244 yards two touchdowns and two interceptions. Steelers running back Jaylen Warren added 127 yards on 16 carries. The game ended when DJ Ivey batted Rodgers 60-yard heave to the end zone as time expired.
Ja’Marr Chase had a team-record 16 catches on 23 targets for 161 yards and a touchdown. Running back Chase Brown was key in Cincinnati's first-half rally with explosive runs of 37 and 27 yards. Brown finished with 108 yards on 11 carries.

Monday, October 13, 2025 • Duration 34:43
GREEN BAY -- The Bengals dropped their fourth straight game Sunday at Lambeau Field, 27-18, to the Green Bay Packers. The Bengals had next-to-zero offense in the first half and good defense, as they trailed only 10-0. But they found offensive rhythm in the second half behind new quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw a pair of fourth-down touchdowns in the second half. But the defense allowed three long, game-sealing scoring drives. Skinny and Trags break down Sunday's loss and whether there's real hope for the Bengals to break out of it on a short week when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night at Paycor Stadium.
