It doesn’t matter that it’s do-or-die time for the Cincinnati Bengals.

This just might be Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown’s year anyway.

To make sure they’re primed for glory, General Manager Duke Tobin got busy this offseason. In addition to trading for Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II, he also inked Super Bowl-winning edge rusher Boye Mafe and two-time SB champion safety Bryan Cook to shore up Zac Taylor’s talented roster.

That, coupled with the fact that the club has the 30th-easiest schedule of any team in 2026, has prognosticators excited about Cincinnati’s upcoming season.

“Right now, [the Bengals] would be my pick to win the division,” ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky proclaimed.

“They’re three straight years without the playoffs. [If] they don’t go again with what they’ve invested now into the team and kind of given Joe what is needed and wanted, at least by reports, you could absolutely see it getting very noisy, and him wanting out.”

Winning the division and returning to the postseason won’t be a cakewalk, though.

Just a few of the biggest powerhouses headed to Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium include Baker Mayfield’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Sept. 13), Trevor Lawrence’s Jacksonville Jaguars (Oct. 4), T.J. Watt’s Pittsburgh Steelers (Nov. 15), Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs (Dec. 13) and Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens (Dec. 31).

Therefore, they’ll need all the help they can get from the Who Dey Nation.
