The Cincinnati Bengals face a pivotal season with second-year tackle Amarius Mims expected to make significant strides in his performance to support quarterback Joe Burrow effectively. Despite an extensive defensive overhaul, the Bengals have largely overlooked offensive line improvements outside of a coaching change. This lack of attention on the offensive front could pose a serious threat to their offensive success, especially with the high expectations surrounding Burrow and the team's Super Bowl ambitions.

Mims's progress is crucial as he must step up to fill the void left by the team's limited investment in furthering the offensive line's development. The Bengals' recent performance has underlined the need for a robust offensive line to provide Burrow with the protection he requires to excel. With the right adjustments and Mims's growth, the Bengals could solidify their standing as contenders in the league.
