The Cincinnati Bengals are on a concerning trajectory that simply can't continue. James Rapien is joined by ESPN 1530’s Tony Pike to break down the growing concerns surrounding the Cincinnati Bengals, including the likelihood of the Bengals "running it back" in 2026, and whether Joe Burrow is being asked to do too much for this team to win.

They also dive into Burrow’s recent comments, visible frustration, and what it says about the Bengals’ Super Bowl window. Plus, the two discuss Zac Taylor’s contract situation and whether or not he gives this Bengals team their best chance to win a Super Bowl.

Tony Pike appears weekdays on Cincy 360 on ESPN 1530. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
