Sep 22, 2017 7:58 AM

Todd Gurley scored three touchdowns on Thursday night, giving him six on the season.

Gurley is the first non-quarterback with six touchdowns in the first three weeks of the season since Calvin Johnson did so in 2011.

"I gave everybody what they've been waiting for," Gurley said.

In addition to his three scores against the San Francisco 49ers, he rushed for 113 yards. It marked the first time he surpassed 100 yards since Week 14 of the 2015 season.

Tarik Cohen Only RB Among NFL's Leaders In Targets

Sep 20, 2017 8:20 AM

Tarik Cohen has enjoyed a productive start to his NFL career with the Chicago Bears.

The rookie, a fourth-round pick, has amassed 181 yards and a touchdown in his first two games.

Cohen has 28 touches for Chicago, three more than incumbent starter Jordan Howard, who is dealing with a shoulder injury.

Cohen is second in the NFL in receptions (16) through two weeks and is the only running back that ranks among the top 20 players in targets (21). Only DeAndre Hopkins, Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown, Randall Cobb and Jason Witten have been thrown to more.

Bengals Need To Score TD Next Week To Avoid Historically Bad Start

Sep 15, 2017 8:19 AM

The Cincinnati Bengals haven't scored a touchdown through the first two weeks of the season, which many teams have done in NFL history. Just last season, the Los Angeles Rams failed to reach the end zone in their first two games.

However, if the Bengals don't score a touchdown in Week 3 they'll join much rarer company.

The last team to fail to reach the end zone in the first three games of the season was the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, an expansion franchise.

The Bengals are already the first team since the 1939 Philadelphia Eagles to open the season with two games at home and not score a touchdown in either of them.

Andy Dalton's Week 1 Performance Was Second-Worst Of Career

Sep 11, 2017 8:34 AM

Andy Dalton turned in a horrible performance in the Cincinnati Bengals' season-opening loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Dalton went 16-for-31 for 170 yards and four interceptions. He threw zero touchdowns and was sacked five times. He finished the 20-0 defeat with a 51.6 completion percentage and 28.4 QB Rating, the second-lowest of his seven-year NFL career.

The only performance of Dalton's career that rated lower came on Nov. 6, 2014 when the Bengals fell 24-3 at the hands of the Cleveland Browns. In that game, he went 10-for-33 for 86 yards and three interceptions. He failed to toss a touchdown as well, while taking two sacks. He finished that game with a 2.0 QB Rating.

Dalton, 29, will look to rebound this Thursday night against the Houston Texans.
