Summary

The Bengals have en elite quarterback and an elite wide receiver duo. In addition, regardless of how you view him, Zac Taylor played a large role in the Bengals going to Super Bowl LVI. With all of them in place going into 2026, can the Bengals recapture their 2021 magic and not only get to the Super Bow, but win the Super Bowl in 2026? Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss that poignant question. Believe it or not, next season may be one of their last chances to get to and win the Super Bowl. It's not just internally, it's also the landscape of the NFL. Alex dives into a key difference between the AFC and NFC and why it be a troublesome reality of the Bengals. Mike McCarthy is going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach in 2026. Alex, Jake, and Art discuss if this is a good hire and what it means for the Bengals in rebuilding their defense this offseason. Finally, the guys break down their key takeaways from Conference Championship Sunday and give their initial thoughts on Super Bowl LX. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
