Coming into the 2021-2022 season no one thought Zac Taylor would last all season as the Cincinnati Bengals head coach, but now he is in the Super Bowl. Thanks to a defense that played lights out in the second half, and quarterback Joe Burrow making the runs and the passes when needed to get a 27-24 overtime victory over Kansas City. Now I never gave these Bengals much of a chance this season, but they have proved so many of us wrong.
No one had Cincinnati winning their division or even being a playoff team. During the season they had some bad losses, but they stuck together and slowly became a very good football team. Across the board on offense and defense they are impressive. They went to Kansas City twice this season and came away with wins. That is tough to do against Patrick Mahomes, but it didn't matter to them as they had sheer confidence in their resolve.
When Joe Burrow was taken No.1 overall everyone knew he was talented, but this season he has surpassed all expectations and now he is headed to the Super Bowl. Burrow leads a Cincinnati team that hasn't been to the Super Bowl in 30 plus years and the City couldn't be happier. I hate to tell people this the Cincinnati Bengals could be in the playoffs for a number of years with Joe Burrow leading the offense.
