Meanwhile- none of our wins came down to a last second field goal and only one game was 3 or less points.
This is a GREAT team. When they win, they usually win comfortably. When they lose, it’s usually a dog fight.
Well said Rubekahn. This shows how good of a team we were last year and in the Playoffs and we should be better this year
barring injuries. We just need to get those duds against queefland out of our system and we should be fine in the Division even
though I bet we split with the Ravens. Really the only game I don't have us favored is the one in Baltimore. We like playing the
Chefs late in the season and if we are healthy I like us to win in a close game like we usually do.

2. Cincinnati Bengals
Post-FA ranking: 2
Most improved: Offensive tackle
Cincinnati made a massive splash in free agency by signing Orlando Brown Jr. as its new left tackle. Last season with Kansas City, Brown was 18th in pass block win rate as a tackle, according to ESPN Analytics. When Jonah Williams was healthy in 2021, he was 50th among 68 qualifying players -- his best finish in three seasons. If Williams slides over to right tackle as the Bengals hope, he could be an upgrade over La'el Collins, who has had availability and durability issues in his career. And improved pass-blocking means more time for QB Joe Burrow in the pocket. -- Ben Baby

Cool, but they ought to mention the fact that Jackson Carman finally started to play well at LT in the Playoffs and has actually
been mentioned as the front runner at RT over Jonah by the coaches. Wouldn't surprise me if Carman takes the RT job and does
well there. He has the body type for it and evidently has came in in great shape this Offseason.
We might finally have great depth in Jonah and LC for once if Carman does really well.
