I believe this team is underrated.They,especially the defense,really came on the last half of the season.If they pick up where they left off,and this OL is above average,like we think it should be,then this team I believe will be in the SB again in 2023.
The AFC is tougher and certainly health counts. But Paul Dehner touched on it. The Bengals have unbelievable continuity. They have their head coach and coordinators back for the fourth consecutive year. They have all 11 starters back on defense that played in the playoffs. In all 18-22 starters back and 3 appreciably better. None of the challengers have anywhere close to this continuity and cohesion. But the playoffs will be full of several good teams and therefore it will be who shows up that day.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
