What is the difference between a good team and a championship team? It's a question Bengals legend Solomon Wilcots is uniquely qualified to answer. In this powerful episode of "In the Trenches," the Super Bowl veteran joins Dave Lapham for a masterclass in what it takes to build a winning culture.

Drawing from his experiences in the Bengals' huddle during their last Super Bowl run, Wilcots delivers an unfiltered analysis of the 2025 team. He breaks down why the offensive line's chemistry is the key to protecting the quarterback, how the defense is developing a "bend but don't break" identity.
