A must-watch Cincinnati Bengals game in 2024

The Cincinnati Bengals have a couple of primetime television-worthy games in 2024, but none will evoke excitement like the divisional doubleheader against the Baltimore Ravens. The game will be between two of the league's best quarterbacks throwing the ball to some sensational pass catchers.

The Bengals and Ravens are regular postseason contenders and will meet twice in the upcoming season. A win in either game should set the tone for the following weeks, as both teams are arguably the best in the division.

Who is the Cincinnati Bengals' most important player in the 2024 season?

Since Joe Burrow entered the league, the Cincinnati Bengals have failed to make the postseason twice; both times, Burrow suffered season-ending injuries.

When fit, Joe Burrow is arguably a top-five quarterback in the NFL, and he plays the game with a confidence that you cannot teach. Burrow has a decent offensive line, Pro Bowl-caliber pass catchers, and a solid coaching staff to bring out the best in him.

The Cincinnati Bengals are typically only as good as Burrow takes them, and we're expecting the LSU product to be just as clinical in 2024. However, the Bengals will need to ease him back to action following the season-ending wrist injury he suffered in 2023.
