Stripe Hype

● By Aaron Burd
The NFL season is already over a quarter of the way done and the Cincinnati Bengals are looking like a playoff contender with a record of 3-2. Their schedule does not look to get any easier than it has been up to this point, but there is still reason to be optimistic that Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor can reach the postseason for the first time with the Bengals. Should they sneak into the playoffs, or even barely miss the playoffs, the Bengals look like they could be just an offseason or two from being legitimate Super Bowl contenders. After two straight successful drafts in a row which brought in players like Burrow, Tee Higgins, Logan Wilson and Ja’Mar Chase, a third straight solid draft could be all the Bengals need.
