2 stats for why 2024 is huge for the Bengals

[Bengalstripes9]

I don't think the Super Bowl stat means that much.

The Bengals were expected to win their first game at best when they went on their Super Bowl run.
They went a lot further than everyone expected.
Their oline caught up with them in the Super Bowl--yet they still almost won.

The next year they fixed the oline and three starters were injured leading up to the playoffs.
They still almost won the AFC championship.

How can they get over the hump?
Improve in the secondary and on defense.
Run game and pass defense must improve to make another deep run.
They need another good/great player to add to the dline rotation to improve the pass rush.
They need another young/talented corner to add to the mix for depth as well.

Their oline needs to stay healthy for the playoffs.
Burrow, Chase, and the majority of their top players need to stay healthy.

If all these things happen I see no reason why they can't win it all.

The Chiefs draft two years ago was a huge catalyst to their back-to-back Championships.
Bengals need a great draft this week to fuel a deep run and continued success in the future.
