Joe Burrow famously once said that the Bengals’ Super Bowl window is his whole career. The good news for him and the entire team and organization is that the window is being reopened with the offseason they have had.
Trading for Dexter Lawrence and signing all of the free agents that they did, in addition to restructuring Joe Burrow’s rookie contract, has brought back Super Bowl expectations and hopes.
Bleacher Report’s Gridiron Instagram account recently unveiled what they believe are the Super Bowl
windows for every NFL team. For the Bengals, they say 1-6 years. That means they believe the Bengals can win a Super Bowl in the next six years.
Six years is a long time. A lot can happen, a lot can change in that amount of time, as we have seen with Burrow and the Bengals. The hope is these Bengals can not only break through this season, maybe by winning the Super Bowl, but also be able to sustain Super Bowl contention for the next six years.
That’s what matters this season. It’s not just about winning the Super Bowl this season. This is about building something for the next six years and beyond.
With that in mind, what do you think the Bengals’ Super Bowl window is? Is it now or never? Is it the next 1-6 years, or perhaps even longer?
