The last time we checked on power rankings, the Cincinnati Bengals fared pretty well after a solid showing in free agency.
But a new set of power rankings has the Bengals a little farther back in the top 10 than some might expect.
The rankings come from Pro Football Focus, where the top 10 lands like so:
- Chiefs
- 49ers
- Lions
- Ravens
- Eagles
- Packers
- Bills
- Bengals
- Buccaneers
- Texans
Some of those teams, especially the top two, slotting in front of the Bengals isn’t exactly a shock.
Others, such as the Packers or a Bills team Joe Burrow’s Bengals have done well against, seem to lean a little more on projection into 2024.
Either way, fans know the drill — Burrow’s health and a few other key factors (like the offensive line and a new-look secondary) will decide pretty quickly whether the team climbs higher next season.
