MAN-HEAVY: Bengals Could Lean On Corners to CONTAIN Baker Mayfield, Bucs Offense in Week 1

The Cincinnati Bengals could exploit Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ secondary weaknesses as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins could dominate. Can Al Golden’s man-heavy scheme stifle Baker Mayfield and expose a Bucs offense reeling from last season’s second-half collapse?

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry spotlight the Bengals' revamped play-action attack, key matchups like Dexter Lawrence vs. Graham Barton, and how Joe Burrow’s quick-game potential could counter Todd Bowles’ relentless blitzes. This week one showdown could set the tone for the Bengals’ 2026 campaign.
