Just love this guy!!!!

Keep it up!!!!

By the way, the bengals are stacked at rb. But they find a way to get talent on the field.

 
I love Rex Burkhead! I actually live in Plano/Frisco Texas not too far away from where he went to highschool. I was really stoked when I saw the news about him choosing to go to Nebraska.

 
Rex is stepping up nicely as a slot receiver. AJ Green out for Cincy, so the Bengals need help on offense. Good to see Rex make some plays.

 
Only saw Burkhead once in the second half =(. Hopefully he'll be more prominent next year, he definitely made a case for himself today. I'm excited to see what he can do in a full healthy year.

 
Would love to see T-Rex playing for a better team. With his versatility he would be an asset anywhere he goes.

He was making positive plays anytime he touched the bball from when I was catching the game....watched the 2nd half and barely saw him play...boggles my mind why they didn't use him more...

They probably had a certain package of plays for Rex, which they used in the first half. Rex was so far down the depth chart, he probably doesn't get many reps in practice, so it's hard to use him extensively.
Hopefully this performance will give him some more reps with Cincy next year, or he can possibly be traded to a team that can use him as a regular 3rd down back.

 
I can't see Rex getting too much in the way of snaps at Cincy unless the injury bug hits like it did today, they are loaded at RB with Hill and Benard. I think Rex can make some hay for a team down the road ala Woodhead. He seems to have pretty good hands, if you couple that with good blitz pickup you'll hang around a while in the NFL.
