The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the few teams that have stability at the most critical position. That position is quarterback, and that player is Joe Burrow. Burrow is coming off the best season of his career, throwing for 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns with nine interceptions. He finished fourth in MVP voting, and all of that contributed to the Bengals' 9-8 record, which ultimately led to their missing the playoffs.
Even after a historic season, Burrow thinks he can improve. According to Dan Hoard, Burrow said, “There’s room to improve in every area. Movement, accuracy, spin rate, bigger, faster, stronger – all of those good things.”
If you are a Bengals fan, this is what you want to hear from your franchise quarterback. He is looking for ways to improve, and that will only bring good things to the Bengals' offense. Talent has never been an issue for Burrow, but health is what has held him back. In his five NFL seasons, two of them have been cut short due to injury.
Cincinnati appears to be well-positioned on offense for 2025, with all its key players under contract, including Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins, who have long-term deals. Also, running back Chase Brown has emerged as a true three-down back. He will add another dimension to the offense, making it more dynamic.
The only issue with this team is on the defensive side, as Trey Hendrickson has not reported to the team due to a contract dispute. He is one of the top pass rushers in football and someone the Bengals need to have to compete for the Super Bowl. If the Bengals are smart, they will ensure that all their players are satisfied with their contracts by the time training camp arrives. That way, there will be no distractions and they can focus on playing football.
