This is great news for the Bengals organization and all the fans. There had been some concern that the team could leave the city, and now those issues have been put to rest.
The Bengals have a very loyal fan base, and many were worried that the team could relocate due to this issue. But Cincinnati is here to stay, and the team can now look forward to bringing a title back to the city.
With star quarterback Joe Burrow in the mix, the Bengals will have a shot at a Super Bowl run next season. Cincinnati barely missed the playoffs last year following a surge at the end of the year.
The biggest question for the Bengals is on the defensive side of the ball. But if the team can play decent enough defense this year, the offense should be able to carry things.
Cincinnati opens its season on Sept. 7 against the Cleveland Browns.
