In the Trenches with Dave Lapham

As Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins go, so goes the Cincinnati Bengals. Since the "BIG THREE" all took the field together, fans have expected the offense to be one of the more explosive in the NFL.

However, after seeing Burrow miss multiple games and the team missing the playoffs with an overall record of 6-11 last season, Burrow is comparing this season's team to his college National Championship team, the LSU Tigers, with the talent around him.

Episode 269 of Bengals On The Brain with Joe Goodberry, presented by First Star Logistics, has a look back at the explosive plays from the Bengals offense last season and why the biggest problem facing the Bengals is that they don't produce enough explosive plays.
