NOW OR NEVER: Joe Burrow MANIFESTING Win-Now Urgency For Bengals After Bears Joint Practice

The Cincinnati Bengals have Super Bowl expectations as Joe Burrow declares "now or never" after a big offseason of talent acquisition. National narratives predictably yapped about Burrow’s future on Friday, but the real focus is on urgency—and health—needed for a playoff run.

Jake Liscow, Joe Goodberry, and guest Mike Petraglia break down the Bengals-Bears joint practice highlights, featuring Tee Higgins’ red zone dominance, Dexter Lawrence’s freakish playmaking, and Myles Murphy’s late-practice sacks, and Cashius Howell's continued emergence as an impact pass rusher.
