Bengals' 2025 is make-or-break for Burrow; new defense must improve from 30 PPG allowed to keep window open.
Joe BurrowQBCIN
The Bengals face a make-or-break 2025 season with Burrow at quarterback. Despite scoring 35 points per game last year, they lost consistently due to a weak defense that allowed nearly 30 points per game. With new defensive additions including Dexter Lawrence, Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, and Brian Cook, the Bengals have a legitimate window if the defense becomes even mediocre. Burrow has stated the window is not closed as long as he remains the quarterback, but the timing is critical now.
