Orlando Brown expects more from 'special' Bengals offense after Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins deals
Our Summary
The Cincinnati Bengals are entering the 2025 NFL season with renewed focus, maintaining core offensive players Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins through significant contract extensions. This move aims to stabilize and enhance the team's potent offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow. Despite a strong passing game last season, a slow start and defensive issues hindered their success. In response, the Bengals revamped their defense by hiring Al Golden as defensive coordinator and making key acquisitions. However, contract disputes with players like Trey Hendrickson and rookie Shemar Stewart continue to pose challenges. The Bengals are optimistic that these issues will be resolved before training camp, with a focus on improving their performance and ending a two-year playoff drought.
