As for talent yes the Bengals have talent but so does most NFL teams just look at the AFC North. Two of the 4 teams in the North had top 10 defenses almost top 5. The Browns upgraded both sides of the ball in Free Agency and the Draft.

I think the Bengals arrow is pointing up but they still have to compete against 3 good teams in the North. 

You think the Browns are good? They haven't been good Belichek was their coach. They have talent on both sides
Of the ball. But it's still a new HC new OC new DC. 

The Ravens are the best team in AFC not named KC. but I've seen teams be locks for a division title and fall short 
They are one Lamar Jackson hit away from being average. 

The Steelers are banking on Rothlisberger has magic left that arm. Their defense is legit. But they can easily 
Be a 8 and 8 team.

The Bengals have enough talent to be sleepers. It's going to be a physical division.3 games could seperate 
1st and 4th
