Most would probably agree Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals offense deserves a spot in the top five rankings when looking ahead to the 2025 season.
But not all rankings would agree, it seems.
A new effort from Pro Football Network keeps the Bengals in the top 10, but ranks them seventh.

Granted, this might feel like nitpicking. A spot in the top 10, after all, is a spot in the top 10.
But Burrow, coming off an MVP-like season while completing 70.6 percent of his passes for 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns against nine interceptions, makes it feel like 2025 projections should probably be even higher.
The Bengals, after all, fielded a bottom-three rushing attack last year and remade the entire scheme with a new offensive line coach, to name one upgrade. A better complementary defense could help, too.
Still, this is summer nitpicking as the Bengals get ready to hit training camp and start working toward proving these types of projections wrong.
