Burrow was great in the face of constant duress, but let's be honest. If our defense isn't elite through that entire run, (19.7 ppg allowed in the AFC playoffs), we weren't in the Super Bowl.
McPherson was elite. Mixon was very very good. Chase and Higgins were great. Uzomah was great. This wasn't Allen Iverson making the Finals with a cast of scrubs. The NFL really doesn't work like that.
100% I feel confident that the Bengals FO can see that the pinnacle of success is literally within reach. They will do what needs to be done. Who knows, maybe we even get a practice Bubble so Pat McAfee can finally shut up.
