The Bengals came within 3 points of sending the SB to OT. Another first down. They didn’t suffer any serious injuries to any key players. They got in a rhythm. The entire roster, coaching staff, front office, support staff, and the fan base were hungry. We will see if the hunger and determination is still there.
The next step is of course improving the OL and the roster from top to bottom. FA and the draft is first. They need to nail that. Next is nailing how teams will prepare for them defensively next year. They are going to take away Chase. So they have to be totally prepared in their offense to attack where that opens things. They need to improve short yardage and third downs.
