Winning by only one over the Cleveland Browns isn't exactly a feather in your cap, but considering how the Cincinnati Bengals are used to starting recent seasons, we'll take it. Now, the one-point victory left fans with plenty to talk about. But, there's an underlying positive that not many are noticing.
One of the overwhelming narratives, at least from a social media standpoint, was that Joe Burrow might just get killed behind this offensive line in 2025. That might have been the case on one specific drive. However, not all was bad up front. In fact, the guy Cincinnati just signed stepped in and played extremely well.
