If the Cincinnati Bengals have had one Achilles Heel, other than QB Joe Burrow’s Achilles, it’s their defense. They were minutes away from winning a Super Bowl, if not for the defense allowing a touchdown. They had a high-octane offense last year but barely posted a winning record because of the defense. That has to change, and in a hurry Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin acknowledges.
“Defense is important. A lot of people believe defense wins championships, and maybe that’s true. If we get a little better over there, maybe we will”, he said of the Bengals, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.
