When Super Bowls are discussed, Bengals faithful are usually left out of the circle. The 1981 and 1988 seasons produced squads that gave competitive games. But, as of late, the Bengals haven’t stamped an invitation to the Big Dance. In 2015, the Denver Broncos won it all, with a smothering defense. Bengals brass has made it clear. They’ll do the same. Defense is still king.
With the draft selection of Andrew Billings, and his signing, the Bengals made another statement about the upcoming season. First-rounder William Jackson still remains unsigned. That situation won’t last long. Jackson has shown his abilities during Rookie Camp and OTAs.
