Although two season-altering injuries to Joe Burrow are largely to blame for the Cincinnati Bengals missing the last three NFL postseasons, make no mistake about it: their defense is the main reason.
Maybe that's why Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, fresh off vibing with their beloved, HEALTHY quarterback at the Pro Bowl Games, were feeling themselves enough to publicly pitch players on otehr teams to come to Cincinnati.
Like yeah, it's gotten to that point. My high-key hope is that, once the season starts, if the Bengals haven't made a splashy move to upgrade the defense, Ja'Marr and Tee start yelling for change on their brand-new podcast.
