Why the Bengals are on the verge of being: The Almost Was Bengals.

The Bengals are in danger of falling into a trap that many teams are on the verge of: The almost was.

Joe Burrow has been excellent this season, carving up most defenses he has faced. Ja’marr Chase has proved unguardable, and this RB duo has worked together to be a force.

Sadly, despite a surplus of talent, this team has failed to put it all together. They sit in week 13 with a 17% chance of making the playoffs.

The Bengals have struggled ever since they caught a wave to the Super Bowl against the Rams a few years ago. It has been a heartbreaker for this fanbase for years as they watch their team try to remain healthy.

But I think the biggest disappointment will come after the season when Ja'marr Chase and Tee Higgins consider their future with the squad.

Both these receivers are on the tail ends of their contracts, with Higgins sitting in his final year. I think both of these players could be leaving if wins don’t start picking up.
