Dan Pitcher orchestrated an impressive offensive showcase for the Cincinnati Bengals against the Chicago Bears in week 2 of the preseason, raising questions about the potential for a changing of the guard in play-calling duties. The Bengals’ offense exploded for 27 points as Josh Johnson and Sean Clifford combined for 282 passing yards and three touchdowns, suggesting the unit is in good hands—even with Zach Taylor expected to retain play-calling once the regular season kicks off. Despite the strong showing, a glaring concern emerged at offensive tackle, as Cody Ford and Jalen Rivers struggled with penalties and protection breakdowns. With the depth at swing tackle in question and memories of the 2022 injury crisis still fresh, the resilience of the Bengals’ offensive line looms as a potential stumbling block. Can Cincinnati shore up this vulnerability before it impacts their playoff ambitions?
