I read this from Bengals.com and an ear-to-ear grin crossed my face:
"Although he'll be in a limited role, it marks the first time the front seven from the No. 3 defense in 2013 has been re-united with a healthy Geno Atkins and the return of Michael Johnson up front."
I realize Burfict will not be playing a ton of snaps this game, but moving forward this reminded me of the synergy that the defense had in 2013. They lost Geno at this point in 2013, and they had other injuries down the stretch of that season. I like the secondary more now with the way Iloka, Kirkpatrick, and Dennard are contributing.
Health will undoubtedly be a huge factor in determining the success of this year's club, but I believe this defense is capable of holding any team to under 20 points. That includes the Pats.
I can't remember a regular season game where I have been more excited.
WHO DEY!!!!!!!
