In just the last few years, the Bengals have made a Ring of Honor, got new uniforms, made a Super Bowl, getting an indoor practice facility, and now getting new helmets.
This is truly a new era of Bengals football.

If the Bengals new helmet design was released 4 years ago, there would be a sense of dread and fear the front office would screw it up.
Today, it’s nothing but excitement and enthusiasm.
The franchise has come a long way in 3 years.

– added an indoor practice facility
The Joe Burrow effect is REAL
