Summary
Hosts Brett Coleman and EJ Snyder analyze the Cincinnati Bengals' 2025 season, noting their 6-11 record was skewed by injuries and a weak first-half defense. They highlight the team's improved second-half performance and optimistic outlook for 2026, driven by Joe Burrow's return and a revamped defensive line featuring Dexter Lawrence and Boye Mafe.
