Ravens TE trolls Bengals over Joe Burrow's comments about another night game in Baltimore
Ravens TE trolls Bengals over Joe Burrow's comments about another night game in Baltimore During a guest spot on Up & Adams, Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely told Kay Adams that he doesn't know the name of the Bengals stadium when asked about Joe Burrow's complaints about a night game The Cincinnati Bengals will be road warriors on Thanksgiving night and face a familiar opponent in a dreaded setting. Cincinnati is scheduled for a Week 13 game against the Ravens, its division rival that has won the AFC North in back-to-back seasons. Joe Burrow voiced his displeasure with his team playing Baltimore in prime time for the fourth-straight year. "Playing in Baltimore for the fourth straight prime-time year isn't ideal," Burrow said after Tuesday's voluntary workout. "Maybe we can get one of those in Cincinnati next year. Please." During a guest spot on Up & Adams, Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely jokingly told Kay Adams that he doesn't know the name of the Bengals' stadium when asked about Joe Burrow's complaints. The Bengals play at Paycor Stadium, but it's not a hot spot for primetime affairs. Three of Cincinnati's four scheduled night games this year are road contests. The matchup features the AFC North's most successful teams in recent years. The Bengals won the division in 2021 and 2022 before the Ravens took the division crown in 2023 and 2024. Baltimore has won four straight games against Cincinnati.

Vikings cut CB Nahshon Wright
The Vikings have released cornerback Nahshon Wright, the team announced Monday. The Vikings acquired Wright in a trade with the Cowboys in August, sending cornerback Andrew Booth to Dallas.

The team activated him for the Week 13 game against the Cardinals, and he played 15 special teams snaps but had no stats. The Cowboys made Wright a third-round pick in 2021, and he played 32 games with three starts in three seasons in Dallas.

Commanders' insider doesn't believe Brian Robinson will be starting RB in 2025
Could the Brian Robinson Jr. era in Washington be over after three seasons? A third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Robinson has played in 41 games for the Commanders, making 37 starts. In 2024, he appeared in 14 games and got off to a strong start. Unfortunately, nagging injuries cost Robinson some time, and his performance waned in the second half of the season. After rushing for over 100 yards in two of Washington's first four games, Robinson only eclipsed the century mark once more in a Week 13 win over Tennessee. While Robinson dealt with injuries, the Commanders' offensive line also struggled with run blocking. So, Washington's rushing issues outside of quarterback Jayden Daniels do not all fall on Robinson or his fellow running backs. But it would shock no one if the Commanders looked to a loaded running back class in the 2025 NFL draft to bring another element to their backfield. Commanders insider JP Finlay of NBC Washington and 106.7 The Fan went live on X Wednesday night, where he discussed Robinson in 2025. 'I don't believe they'll go into next year with B-Rob as their No. 1, but I'm just saying it's easy to be dismissive of it,' Finlay said. 'But I don't necessarily agree with that. Because he was really good for a period of time, he got some injuries, if you recall; he was beat up, and I think what they started the year with at the running back was pretty smart with (Austin) Ekeler and Robinson. That was a real dynamic duo.' Finlay didn't criticize Robinson. He defended him, citing the offensive line and Daniels' ascension as a passer. However, injuries cost Robinson and Ekeler some time. Both are under contract in 2025, but a loaded rookie class could give the Commanders another potential option next season. It will be interesting to see how general manager Adam Peters configures Washington's backfield. Robinson and Ekeler were excellent when healthy, but the Commanders would love to add a big-play threat to the mix.
