The injury to starting quarterback Joe Burrow was one of the high points and low points of the Bengals’ 2023 NFL season. The team’s hopes of making the playoffs were harmed by crucial errors in spite of moments of promise and resiliency. The Bengals offense, led by Burrow, occasionally showed glimpses of excellence, with wideouts Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase making significant contributions. Nevertheless, the team’s general development was hampered by injuries and inconsistent play in some spots.
The Bengals, who were struggling to a 5-4 start, faced a crucial setback in Week 11 when they lost Burrow to a wrist injury. Jake Browning, the backup, performed better than expected despite this setback. He led the Bengals to their third straight season of success. But in the AFC North, they came in dead last.
Considerations for the Off-Season
The Bengals’ offseason story that has gained the most traction is how they have handled Tee Higgins’ circumstances. There are rumors that Higgins’ future with the Bengals has been called into question during talks with the organization over a contract extension. Of course, things could change. But the possibility of a tag-and-trade situation exists.
