Bengals Nation

Joe Burrow believes something special is building in Cincinnati.

After the Bengals loaded up this offseason, Burrow compared the 2026 team to his legendary 2019 LSU squad, saying there is “so much greatness” this group can achieve.

Cincinnati added major defensive help with Dexter Lawrence, Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, Bryan Cook and rookie Cashius Howell.

Burrow says the Bengals now have everything they need.

The pressure is real.

And he wants all of it.

Shemar Stewart could be ready for a much bigger impact in 2026.

Sports Illustrated named the Bengals pass rusher as Cincinnati’s breakout candidate entering the season.

Stewart’s rookie year was filled with injuries, contract drama and growing pains, resulting in just one sack.

Now the former first-round pick enters Year 2 with a better understanding of the defense and a stronger foundation.

Stewart recently admitted he spent too much time overthinking as a rookie.

If that confidence catches up with his talent, Cincinnati could have a dangerous young pass rusher on its hands.

While Cincinnati has fallen short of expectations in recent years, the organization continues to be built around one of the NFL’s most talented cores, led by franchise quarterback Joe Burrow and an offense capable of competing with anyone in the league.

Recognizing that improvement was needed, the Bengals made significant investments on the defensive side of the ball this offseason.
