It’s painfully clear, based on the last few years, that the Bengals largely lucked into the postseason success they enjoyed in 2021 and 2022.

CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow voiced his confidence in the Bengals' coaching staff following Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Ravens. The loss was one of the worst of the Burrow era and certainly opens the door to speculation about head coach Zac Taylor's future in Cincinnati, among others.

If the Bengals move on from Zac Taylor, they probably force their way to the top of the vacancies list for the top candidates.
