The Cincinnati Bengals‘ historical hesitancy to make an in-season trade may change with the trade deadline looming and the team looking to turn around its season.
The first step to becoming a buyer at the Nov. 5 deadline is winning games, and Joe Burrow is doing just that. The Bengals are victors in three of their past four games after a 41-24 thrashing of the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9.
Burrow tossed five touchdowns, and Trey Hendrickson wreaked havoc in the Raiders' backfield for four sacks and eight total pressures.
