After missing the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, Cincinnati enters the year with high expectations. Starting the season with a win would immediately build confidence and show that this team is ready to compete. The biggest advantage for the Bengals is their offense. Joe Burrow is healthy and has one of the league’s most dangerous groups of playmakers around him. Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins give Burrow two elite targets capable of changing the game on any possession. Chase Brown should also play an important role in the running game, giving Cincinnati another way to attack Tampa Bay’s defense. For the Bengals, though, the biggest question will be whether the defense can take a major step forward. Cincinnati has made significant changes to its defensive front, adding experience and talent in an effort to become more aggressive and consistent. Getting pressure on Baker Mayfield will be critical. If the Bengals can disrupt him, limit big plays and force Tampa Bay into difficult third-down situations, Cincinnati should have a strong chance to control the game. Playing at home should provide another advantage. The Bengals need to come out with energy and avoid the slow starts that have hurt them in the past. A fast start from Burrow and the offense could put pressure on Tampa Bay early and allow the defense to attack. Ultimately, this matchup is an opportunity for Cincinnati to make a statement. The Bengals have the offensive talent to score with anyone, and their revamped defense has something to prove. If Burrow protects the football, the offense finishes drives and the defense creates pressure, Cincinnati should have a very realistic chance to open the season with a win and give Bengals fans plenty of optimism for what lies ahead.
