NFL power rankings Week 1: Tennessee Titans land just outside top 10
By Will Lomas
31. Cincinnati Bengals
Unlike the Miami Dolphins the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t trying to tank, but the season seems like it is headed that way any way.
The best player on the roster A.J. Green is injured, though he isn’t expected to miss too much time early on in the season. Tyler Boyd is a nice compliment, but he really shouldn’t be your only option in the passing game.
Speaking of the passing game, Andy Dalton is already a QB that has few fans, but it is going to get worse with the offensive line in front of him. 2018 1st round draft pick Billy Price has been benched which is pretty hard to imagine since he was viewed by many as a safe pick and really couldn’t find a way to start anywhere in the middle of the offensive line.
Defensively they have some bright spots (William Jackson, Carl Lawson, Carlos Dunlap, and Geno Atkins) but man there is a huge hole at linebacker that is going to really hurt them.
