Episode Details

The Bengals’ defensive line overhaul is finally paying off—after years of relying too heavily on Trey Hendrickson, they’ve landed elite talent in Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, and Boye Mafe. With Allen and Lawrence anchoring the trenches, Cincinnati’s run defense is poised to rebound, and their pass rush could finally be a strength. Allen, entering his 10th season, brings veteran savvy and strength that lasts longer than speed, while Lawrence’s presence adds a dominant force. Together, with 24 combined years of experience, this trio could transform the Bengals’ defense in 2026.
