Last year through four preseason and two regular season games the Bengals’ first-team offense hadn’t scored a single touchdown.
One year, a new coordinator and new offense later, Andy Dalton and the first team reached the end zone in two of their first three drives.
The Bengals eventually held off the Bears, 30-27, in their preseason opener, but this wasn't about the game-winning TD pass from Jeff Driskel to Auden Tate. This was about the debut of a new offense packed with potential and now one step closer to becoming dynamic reality.
All excitement comes with an asterisk this time of year.
