Season is over.

grow into decent players. We shut down Henry pretty much until the run in OT which the run was our biggest problem on Defense.

Our Offense with Burrow, Chase, Tee and our running game is elite right now. We will win a lot of games.

Technically there's a chance, but the probability is very low to go on a 9-3 run or better, especially for a team who started 1-4.

With that said, the 2022 season did start 2-3 and the Bengals went on to lose just 1 more game after that, so it can happen.
The last time the Bengals were 3 games under .500 though was 2020 when they went 4-11-1.

So keep an eye over the next month or so, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I don't see a defensive difference maker who is going to blossom abruptly to have this defense do a 180 midway through the season.
I do think they'll get somewhat better though.
