CINCINNATI -- Much of the talk this week in Cincinnati revolved around the conversations inside the building as the Bengals try to rebound from a befuddling 0-3 start.
Quarterback Joe Burrow, not known for being an overtly vocal leader, said he was mulling over times to pick his spots to speak up more ahead of Sunday's road game against the Carolina Panthers. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase said he prefers to lead by example -- and while it's not preferred, he'll share his thoughts to his teammates if needed.
Whatever the approach, coach Zac Taylor said the conversations with players throughout the week have been encouraging as the team prepares for a critical contest.
