What up, Bengals fans, and welcome to another episode of the Lockdown Bengals podcast, part

of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

I'm Jake Liskow, he's James Rapine, and we've been covering your Cincinnati Bengals here on

Lockdown Bengals since 2016, making it your best one-stop shop for daily updates on your favorite team.

the unexpected is only the beginning. Stay tuned later for highlights in this week's moving the game forward.

week two, you look at the the AFC championship year, the Super Bowl year, he actually was

worse in week two than week one in those years. You look at the last two years by comparison,

got much, much better in week two than week one. I expect that to be the case again this week.
