Optimistic View: Bengals win Super Bowl LVI

If things break right for this team and they play out of their minds each week, the Bengals could find their way to the Super Bowl.

The optimistic view is that upsets will occur meaning Cincinnati won’t have as difficult a path in the AFC. The offense continues playing at such a ridiculous pace that it doesn’t matter who is on the offensive line.

Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase recreate their magical season at LSU with another trophy, setting record-breaking numbers in the process. All this while the defense quietly limits opposing teams and creates just enough plays to get an extra possession or two for their offense.

Could this happen?

Yeah, actually. It’s not too far-fetched.

If the Bengals get hot at the right time and see everything start to gel more, Burrow is the right man to carry this team to the Lombardi Trophy.

It takes a lot of things going right for this to happen, but that is what optimism is all about!
