What happened: Dan Orlovsky suggested on The Pat McAfee Show that the Cincinnati Bengals should pursue a trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. The proposal urged Cincinnati to inquire about Taylor's availability prior to Tuesday's trade deadline.
Why it matters: Cincinnati sits at 6-2 on a four-game winning streak and holds the sixth seed in the AFC playoff race. Meanwhile, Indianapolis has lost five straight games to drop to 2-7, creating potential motivation to evaluate future draft capital.
By the numbers: Taylor has run 161 times for 656 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2026 through 9 games. Cincinnati is 6-2 through 8 games, while Indianapolis stands at 2-7 through 9 games.
What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives Tuesday as Indianapolis evaluates its roster and Cincinnati prepares for Week 10.
