10. Cincinnati Bengals

Marvin Lewis and the Cincinnati Bengals were feeling a ton of pressure heading into the 2018 season after missing out on the playoffs in each of the last two years. And even though it’s only been two games, the Bengals starting off the new year with a 2-0 record is a great step in the right direction.

What’s even more exciting for Cincinnati is Andy Dalton and A.J. Green were clicking on all cylinders after the duo torched the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday by connecting for three touchdowns. While these two have been amazing at times over the years, consistency will be key for these two if the Bengals are going to have a legitimate shot at putting an end to their playoff drought.

It was one thing to see this team play well in the preseason, but seeing Cincinnati continue their success when it matters the most during meaningful games shows this team may finally be playing on a whole new level when compared to the last two seasons. They still have a long way to go, but at least heading into Week 3, the Bengals are sitting all alone on top of the AFC North standings ahead of the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.
