The Cincinnati Bengals have looked dominant since they laid an egg against the Baltimore Ravens, continuing with a dominant performance against the Arizona Cardinals. While they are eliminated from playoff
contention, this could be a good sign for next season.
Against the Cardinals, the defense largely stepped up against one of the league’s weaker offensive lines. Even the rookie Shemar Stewart got involved with a sack along with other young players in Myles Murphy and Cedric Johnson. While this season may only be one more game, the developments from the young players is a great sign of things to come.
The team will have lots of resources to use in the offseason to get the defense up and right, and with the OL gelling, the Bengals will be stepping into the most important offseason in the team’s recent history. There is only one more game left, and the draft order can change heavily depending on what happens against the Browns. A matchup that will also be a good test for the Bengals’ pass protection. The latest the team can pick is 13 at this point, so they should be in range for a good prospect.
With that, let’s take a look at the Twitter reactions to the week 17 game.
