2007 NFL Season Preview - Cincinnati Bengals

Unfortunately for head coach Marvin Lewis and the Cincinnati Bengals organization, they have been known these past few seasons for their problems off the field as much as for their abilities on the field. Lewis and Co. try to change that perception once again this year as the Bengals look to take the AFC North by storm and get to the threshold of NFL greatness by winning a Super Bowl. Their offense has been the focal point with their numerous weapons and ability to put up points on the board. Their defense, however, has been up-and-down and really inconsistent. To put it all together would allow this team the ability to really make a statement in a tough conference.
