It's easy to envision why the Cincinnati Bengals' offense wouldn't have a clearly defined ceiling for any given season. The mere presence of an elite quarterback in Joe Burrow and a Triple Crown wide receiver in Ja'Marr Chase alone give the Bengals arguably the most dynamic passing game combo in the NFL.
Falling prey to the annual training camp optimism can lead to fans being immensely disappointed. However, given what Burrow, defensive coordinator Al Golden, and a lot of key leaders in Cincinnati are saying in the lead up to the 2025 season, I can't help but feel like the vibe is totally different for this particular iteration of the Bengals.
