The Cincinnati Bengals' historic hesitation to make an off-season trade could change as the trade deadline approaches and the team looks to improve its season.

The first step to becoming a buyer by the November 5th deadline is to win games Joe Burrow does exactly that. The Bengals have emerged victorious in three of their last four games after a 41-24 loss to the Bengals Las Vegas Raiders in week 9.

Burrow threw five touchdowns and Trey Hendrickson wreaked havoc in the Raiders' backfield with four sacks and eight total pressures.
