SLOW START CONCERNS? Joe Burrow's Offense Stalls AGAIN vs Bengals' New-Look Defense

The Cincinnati Bengals offense struggled again in training camp as the new-look defense wins another day against Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry dissect defensive standouts DJ Turner, Jordan Battle and Myles Murphy, blitz pressure that exposed offensive vulnerabilities, and concerns about finishing games with a reliable run game. The guys break down plays from Tuesday's practice and question if these are signs that the Zac Taylor offense is heading for a slow start again in 2026.
