After several seasons of tanking in the post Marvin Lewis-Andy Dalton era, the Bengals made the playoffs again and thanks to some Joey Burrow magic, Evan McPherson clutch kicks, and some sound defense, Cincy was really close to winning it all, but fell just short in the end, losing to the Rams in the Super Bowl.
Strengths
Very similar to the Chiefs, the Bengals’ biggest strength is their vaunted passing attack, led by quarterback Joe Burrow and talented receivers Jamarr Chase and Tee Higgins. The main difference between the Chiefs and the Bengals is that Cincinnati actually has a Pro Bowl caliber running back in Joe Mixon.
