Cincinnati Bengals tight ends coach James Casey joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the awesome performance from his group and the Bengals' impressive Week 9 victory over the Buffalo Bills. 

The tight end position had its best game of the season in their SNF matchup against the Bills totaling 101 yards between the top three tight ends and scoring two touchdowns.

Irv Smith got the party started in the Jungle scoring the opening touchdown on a beautiful corner route in the back of the endzone. Drew Sample made the best play of his young career when he took a short check-down to the house for a 22-yard touchdown to make the Bengals lead 14 right before halftime. 

During the week leading up to the game the NFL trade deadline had come and gone and many fans were upset that the Bengals didn't make any moves to put this team over the edge. Many fans wanted an upgrade at the tight-end position due to the lack of product through seven games, but after the Bills game, it looks like it was a good decision to keep this room intact. If they continue to improve and continue to gain trust with Joe Burrow this room can go from a weakness to a strength.
