The Cincinnati Bengals had a rough 2023 season. In November, starting quarterback Joe Burrow was lost for the season with a wrist injury, ending the team’s playoff hopes.
Cincinnati Bengals Have Been Awesome With A Healthy Joe Burrow
Since Joe Burrow entered the NFL in 2020, he and the Bengals have been amazing when Burrow stays healthy for the entire season. The Bengals have reached the AFC title game twice, winning one and losing one in the two full seasons Burrow has remained healthy, and if he can stay healthy this upcoming season, there is no reason they can’t get back to the AFC title game or even the Super Bowl.
A Bold Prediction Has The Bengals Going Back To The AFC Title Game
Judy Battista from the NFL Network published an article titled Bold predictions for 2024 NFL season: Bears, Jets end playoff droughts; Chiefs three-peat!
In the article, Battista has Cincinnati heading back to the AFC title game for the third time in three years but losing again to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here is what Battista had to say about the Bengals’ 2024-2025 playoff run.
Cincinnati is one of the reasons I don’t see the Jets getting to the Super Bowl. The Bengals have shown that when Joe Burrow is healthy, they are a Super Bowl-caliber team. Burrow has spent the offseason getting bigger and stronger and focusing on nutrition in an effort to improve his durability, and he will undoubtedly be highly motivated to silence questions about whether he is injury-prone. If he stays on the field — and assuming the Bengals do not trade Tee Higgins — this is the only team that has consistently challenged the Chiefs’ supremacy. They’ll get another chance to knock off the champs this season.
Sadly for the Bengals fans, their team will lose again to the Chiefs since Battista has the Chiefs three-peating and winning the Super Bowl again this upcoming season.
