The source frames the 2026 Bengals' strategy around banking on a healthy Joe Burrow and his weapons. Burrow played at a "thermonuclear level" in 2024 despite the defense ranking 25th in points allowed and 27th in DVOA. Last season (2025), Burrow played in just eight games due to health concerns that have been an issue since 2023. The source's thesis is that if the Bengals can field a league-average or better defense alongside a healthy Burrow, the formula that worked in 2021-2022 (when they reached Super Bowl LVI and the AFC Championship) could work again.
