A pair of Cincinnati Bengals were voted as 1st Team All-Pro by their peers, as released by the NFL Players Association on Wednesday.

Cincinnati might have underachieved this year, but Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson weren't to blame.

JJ Watt: "The Bengals have the NFL leader in pass yards, receiving yards and sacks. A team with all three of those should NEVER miss the playoffs."

Joe Burrow is a Pro Bowler for the first time in two seasons; Ja'Marr Chase has been selected in all four of his seasons in the league.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson sacks Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson for a 5-yard loss with under a minute remaining.

Tennessee's James Pearce Jr. went to Cincinnati at Pick 17.

The Steelers finished the regular season on a four-game losing streak after a fourth-quarter rally fell short, as Cincinnati kept its playoff hopes alive with a 19-17 victory Saturday night.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson's performance Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers wasn't just impressive, it was historic.

Hendrickson finished the 2024 season with six pass defections, 17.5 sacks and 41 tackles. He's now posted 17.5 in back-to-back seasons for Cincinnati, seemingly placing him in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation in 2024.

Cincinnati, however, was able to get the ball right back. The Steelers’ Calvin Austin III fumbled on the punt return after Bengals LB Shaka Heyward appeared to punch the ball out. Cincinnati recovered the fumble on Pittsburgh’s 33-yard line.
