THE CONVERSATION | JALEN RIVERS RISING THROUGH THE BENGALS RANKS

Right guard Jalen Rivers, coming off a solid effort against Jets Pro Bowler Quinnen Williams, continues to impress as he prepares to make his sixth NFL start Sunday against the Bears at Paycor Stadium.

Named as the Bengals nominee for the NFL's 2025 Salute to Service Award, Rivers sat down to talk with Bengals.com senior writer Geoff Hobson in this week's conversation. He talks about the impact of the military growing up in a Navy family, as well as learning on the job in the NFL that includes an impromptu chat with quarterback Joe Burrow.

INVENTIVE CHASE BROWN AND THE ROLLING BENGALS RUN GAME

Bengals running back Chase Brown and his running game have been so hot as of late (his seven yards per carry in the last three games trails only the equally torrid James Cook and Jonathan Taylor) that he may be inventing plays after he turned a botched flea flicker into a thing of 11-yard beauty last Sunday against the Jets.

"Invent a new run scheme. Man, what would you call that?" Brown wondered after Wednesday's practice. "Fake Toss Toss? Fake Tossback? Fake Tossback Duo?"

On first-and-10 at his own 48 with about four minutes left in the first half, Brown showed a shrewd brew of invention and instinct.

BENGALS SEEK REBOUND TO TOP OF THE AFC NORTH

The Steelers have lost two straight to fall to 4-3 and host the 7-1 Colts this Sunday.

The Ravens are 2-5 and looking at three straight on the road.

The Browns are 2-5 and go into their bye with two touchdowns and two interceptions since the Joe Flacco trade.

Which leaves the Bengals at 3-5 and a game-and-a-half behind in the AFC North, which never seems to have any breathing room. Only Sunday's game against the 4-3 Bears at Paycor Stadium and a bye week stand between the Bengals and a rematch in a Nov. 16 game at Pittsburgh that could make the division really tight.
