## Resource

Bengals defense is counting on two second-year stars, Shemar Stewart and Demetrius Knight Jr., to turn things around after a brutal 2023 season. Stewart, a first-round pick, struggled with injuries and underwhelming play, while Knight, a second-rounder, has matured and feels ready to thrive. With no new linebackers added and key departures like Trey Hendrickson, the team’s playoff hopes hinge on these two rising stars delivering big-time performances.
