9. Cincinnati Bengals (8)

The good news for the Cincinnati Bengals is Marvin Lewis looks like he’s going to have one of the best overall teams once again when looking at how well the starters played against the Jaguars.

Of course, Bengals fans have learned over the years that none of this means anything until the playoffs roll around. The fact that Cincinnati has failed to win a playoff game during the Lewis era is simply just embarrassing and winning the division certainly won’t be easy when looking at the potential surrounding the offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As impressive as the starters looked against the Jaguars, the Bengals unfortunately found a way to lose the game thanks to some second-half mistakes. Luckily, this was only a preseason game and there’s no reason for concern as the performances by the starters–along with A.J. Green avoiding injury–is what was most important in this contest.
