The Cincinnati Bengals have a huge offseason coming up. Sound familiar? Well, that's what happens when you whiff on a lot of draft picks, fail to protect Joe Burrow well enough, and miss the playoffs three years in a row.
To be fair, though, the offensive line that has let Burrow down so often is actually rounding into form. It's the best unit he's ever had, albeit now when the games don't matter.
Looking forward to 2026 and thereafter, one of Cincinnati's premium picks appears to be coming into his own in a big way. That's one silver lining to cling to for next season.
