The Cincinnati Bengals are hoping to make a late push to be one of the final NFL Wild Card teams. They continued their chase in Week 16 with a convincing 24-6 win over the Cleveland Browns in a critical divisional game.

Former Bengals Star Details Conversation With Struggling Rookie
Rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton was expected to be one of the key pieces in the Bengals' offense this season. But to this point, it has been a struggle for the Bengals receiver. He has just four receptions for 107 yards. But the rookie wideout has gained a mentor in former Bengals wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh, who said he had a lengthy conversation with Burton amid his recent struggles.
"I had a loooooong—L-O-O-O-O-O-O-N-G conversation with him. And, so, just hope the words resonate 'cause I can't do it for him. I can give him advice, I can talk to him, but ultimately, he has to decide that this is something he wants to do," the former Bengals star wide receiver said.
"And, if this is something you decide you don't want to do, you won't be doing it, and you'll be doing something else that you don't want to do. So, it's very simple: I don't think people realize that playing in the NFL is the best time of your life, and it's over just like that. So, again, we had a nice conversation. I hope I helped. I would like to believe I did because of how transparent—no gray area with me, man...so, I hope I was able to help."
