In a matter of days, the Cincinnati Bengals will embark on their quest to exorcise their early-season demons in Cleveland when they battle the Browns in Week 1.
Zac Taylor has managed only one win in the first two weeks of the season since taking the reins as Bengals head coach in 2019. To have a quarterback like Joe Burrow and lose nine of his 10 such starts is inexcusable.
Now that Burrow has banked plenty of camp and preseason reps, Cincinnati's offense should be readier to roll out of the gates than at any time in his prior five years in the NFL.
