When franchise quarterback Joe Burrow is healthy, the Cincinnati Bengals are clearly Super Bowl contenders. Burrow has played two full seasons in his four-year career, and in those two seasons, the Bengals made it to the Super Bowl and were within seconds of a second appearance.
When Burrow is healthy, the Bengals are a true threat to win it all. Following season-ending wrist surgery last season, Burrow looks to be on track to be fine by the start of the season. Pair that with what should be the best offensive line Burrow has had since entering the NFL in 2020, and you have the recipe for a magical season.
