"The window is my whole career," the franchise quarterback said matter-of-factly after the Bengals clinched their second straight AFC North title.
His confidence is understandable given the offensive weapons available: Receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have gained 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, making them the first pair of Bengals wideouts to do that since Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh in 2006 and 2007.
While both have been limited by injuries this season, they've combined to catch 18 touchdown passes and will look for when Cincinnati plays at Kansas City on Sunday in the AFC championship game for the second straight year.
