The Cincinnati Bengals have a chance to play spoiler pretty frequently in 2021 because not many people are banking them to be all that competitive. Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report, however, believes that the Bengals are what he refers to as the ‘AFC’s sleeping giant’.
What Gagnon means by this is that the Bengals are being underlooked and underappreciated throughout the offseason. This isn’t surprising considering how stacked the rest of the division is and if one team has to be the worst in the AFC North, most are going to point to the Bengals as that team.
