It all started with OTA's

Remember at the beginning of the season when teams did not want to come to OTA's, but the Bengals had 100% participation? Huge credit to Burrow, Bates, Hubbard and others who pressed teammates to show up. As Burrow said, we won 4 games last year, why wouldn't we show up. No loners or malcontents on this team. I truly think the standard for the year was set right there.
