## Resource

The Bengals’ revamped defensive line is already dominating early — trading a first-round pick for Dexter Lawrence, who’s drawing double teams and opening lanes for teammates to sack QBs and force fumbles. Free agents Boye Mafe and Jonathan Allen delivered immediate impact with sacks and a fumble, while second-rounder Cashius Howell impressed with speed and a key penalty — graded like a first-rounder. With depth now at the interior, they managed playing time on a hot day, keeping guys fresh and effective. It’s just Week 1, but this unit is already living up to hype — and they’ve got the pieces to be elite all season.
