Episode Details

The Cincinnati Bengals received a low overall grade of 28th out of 32 NFL teams in the NFL Players Associations annual franchise report card for 2026. Despite some facility upgrades, the team still struggles in key areas such as food and dining, nutrition, and treatment of families, all of which received an F minus. The home game field and team travel earned a D minus and C minus, respectively. General manager Duke Tobin received a C, and owner Mike Brown saw his grade drop to a D minus. While most other categories scored As or Bs, players seem unfazed by the low marks, giving head coach Zac Taylor an A for the second straight year. The fixes for the worst areas are straightforward, but the front office hasnt prioritized them yet. The Bengals mix solid coaching buy-in with room to improve player perks, and addressing the basics could lift them higher in future rankings.
