Outlook
The Bengals are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season in 2022. The team finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time since quarterback Joe Burrow’s rookie season in 2020. The Bengals have made some key roster moves this offseason, and they have a number of talented players on their roster. The team should be competitive in the AFC North in 2023.
