Another year, another disappointing finish for the Cincinnati Bengals, who have failed to make the playoffs in the last three seasons and are still trying to keep their Super Bowl window open in Joe Burrow's prime.
This season, Burrow's turf toe injury dealt a blow to the team that ultimately proved fatal, with the Bengals crawling to a 6-11 record and missing the postseason yet again. Burrow returned on Thanksgiving, but the team went 3-3 afterward and continued to struggle on defense as they have all year long.
