Bengals think they're better with volatile Burfict back (Yahoo Sports)

Burfict sat out the first three games for his repeated illegal hits, including one during the Bengals' latest first-round playoff loss. The Bengals (1-2) had their defense shredded during a 29-17 loss to Denver on Sunday, with Trevor Siemian throwing a career-high four touchdown passes. Cincinnati hosts the Dolphins (1-2) on Thursday night needing something - or somebody - to get the defense turned around.
