The Cincinnati Bengals got off to a worrisome start to the season.
With Joe Burrow struggling with a calf injury since the preseason, the team looked in serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs.
Burrow was visibly hurt and lacked his usual mobility.
His revamped offensive line was also struggling to find its groove, and even Ja’Marr Chase openly called his quarterback out for not wanting to get some rest and to stop pressing.
Notably, all that is in the rearview mirror, and Burrow and the Bengals have gotten back on track.
That’s why, following their statement win over the Buffalo Bills in primetime, former NFL QB Robert Griffin III claimed that the Bengals are a legit problem, also stating that the AFC North is the best division in the game.

It’s hard to refute that statement, considering all four AFC North teams are currently playoff teams.
One could argue that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive woes keep them from being Super Bowl contenders, yet they continue to win games.
The Baltimore Ravens have been almost perfect more often than not this season, and the Cleveland Browns’ championship defense is simply elite.
As for the Bengals, they currently have the highest pedigree among teams in the division, constantly going deep into the playoffs, often with Burrow under center.
So, all those teams that didn’t make the most of the few weeks they weren’t good should be worried now, as the Bengals are right back in the mix, and that means trouble.
