The Cincinnati Bengals have undergone a renaissance following the hiring of head coach Zac Taylor for the 2019 season. Marvin Lewis had his way of doing things for so long, and Taylor brought a fresh view on things.
The first year was bad enough for Taylor to earn the first overall pick and bring in quarterback Joe Burrow. That certainly helps. They went to two straight AFC Championship games and nearly won a Super Bowl. However, Taylor has found ways to win games even without Burrow in the lineup. Last season, Cincinnati nearly made the playoffs with Jake Browning.
