Summary
The Bengals’ season opener against the Buccaneers promises a brutal test for their revamped defense, as analyst Kevin Kugler breaks down how Baker Mayfield will face a new defensive front led by elite disruptors Dexter Lawrence and Boye Mafe. Kugler expects Tampa Bay to rely on a physical run game early to probe the young linebackers and shaky pass rush. With Joe Burrow’s health paramount and Amarius Mims needing to step up on the offensive line, Kugler sees the Bengals as the most stable team in a chaotic AFC North—and potentially the AFC’s top playoff contender.
