While the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense gets the headlines, the defense has been just as good, if not better, over the last two years, which have featured five playoff wins and a trip to Super Bowl LVI.
Heading into next season, that defense figures to once again be among the NFL’s best, largely due to the strong core of players in the front seven and at cornerback. The Bengals are currently set to have every starting defensive lineman, linebacker, and cornerback from last season.
During his Thursday press conference, head coach Zac Taylor gushed over his defense and how close the players and coaches are to each other.
