孟加拉人是一支繼續困擾的團隊。關於他們進入超級碗LVI的真相是，它被他們令人窒息的防守帶來了牽頭。

The Bengals are a team that continues to befuddle. The truth about their run to Super Bowl LVI is that it was spearheaded by their suffocating defense, not their explosive offense.

孟加拉人是一支繼續困擾的團隊。他們競選超級碗LVI的真相是，它是由於他們令人窒息的防守而不是爆炸性的進攻而牽頭。

While Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins played a massive factor in that run, it was the defense that helped rack up three straight playoff victories.

喬·伯羅（Joe Burrow），Ja'marr Chase和Tee Higgins在這場比賽中發揮了巨大的作用，而防守有助於取得連續三場季后賽勝利。

It was the defense that made three straight stops in those games. The defense shut Derek Carr down, intercepting his final pass of the postseason, despite the Raiders being nine yards away from the end zone. It was the defense that picked off Ryan Tannehill three times to set up the game-winning field goal at Tennessee. The defense also held Derrick Henry to 3.1 YPC.

正是防守在那些比賽中連續三連勝。國防部將德里克·卡爾（Derek Carr）擊倒，攔截了他的季后賽最後傳球，儘管突襲者隊距離末端區域有9碼。正是防守使瑞安·坦尼希爾（Ryan Tannehill）三度在田納西州贏得比賽的射門得分。辯護人還將德里克·亨利（Derrick Henry）命中率3.1 ypc。

It was the defense, that despite being up by only three with the Chiefs having the ball at the Bengals' four-yard line, held Kansas City to a field goal to force OT and then picked off Mahomes in overtime to set up the AFC title-winning field goal.

辯方是，儘管酋長隊在孟加拉人的四碼線上只有三場比賽，但仍將堪薩斯城的球命名為射門得分，以強迫OT，然後在加時賽中挑選Mahomes，以建立AFC冠軍冠軍射門得分。

For some reason, in the years following, the team has spent loads of money on their offense while letting their defense wither away, and despite their defense being the reason why they missed the playoff last season, the team has doubled down on their commitment to offense.

由於某種原因，在接下來的幾年中，團隊在進攻上花費了大量的錢，同時讓他們的防守枯竭了，儘管他們的防守是他們上賽季錯過季后賽的原因，但球隊還是對進攻的承諾增加了一倍。

The team has extended both Chase and Higgins despite their losses on defense.

儘管他們在防守上損失了，但球隊仍擴大了Chase和Higgins。

The Bengals are spending an average $125M per year on these three 🤯 Joe Burrow: $55M per yearJa’Marr Chase: $40.25M per yearTee Higgins: $28.75M per year pic.twitter.com/88E1pDgwkw

孟加拉人每年平均花費1.25億美元，這三ð²JoeBurrow：每年5500萬美元

Since their Super Bowl run, the team has said goodbye to defenders Jessie Bates III, Sam Hubbard, D.J. Reader, and Chidobe Awuzie, The team is also expected to say goodbye to Germaine Pratt and 2024 NFL sack king Trey Hendrickson this offseason.

自從他們的超級碗比賽以來，球隊就向後衛傑西·貝茨三世（Jessie Bates III），薩姆·哈伯德（Sam Hubbard），DJ Reader和Chidobe Awuzie表示告別，預計該團隊也將向Germaine Pratt和2024年NFL Sack King King Trey Trey Hendrickson說再見。

Even if they keep Hendrickson, players of his quality typically cost around $32 million a season. That would mean the Bengals could be spending almost $160 million on four players. The current cap is set at $279.2 million. That means the Bengals would have 119.2 million left to spend on 49 players if they extend Hendrickson. That's about 2.4 million per player.

即使他們保留了亨德里克森，他的質量球員也通常每季的成本約為3200萬美元。那將意味著孟加拉人可能會在四名球員上花費近1.6億美元。目前的上限定為2.792億美元。這意味著，如果孟加拉人擴大了亨德里克森（Hendrickson），則剩下1.192億次花在49名球員身上。每個球員約為240萬。

The Bengals are in trouble. There is no other way to put it. They do not have the money to put into escrow that would allow the team to move cap space around. They do not draft well consistently with jokes often made that their scouting department consists of six people.

孟加拉人有麻煩。沒有其他方法可以說。他們沒有錢投入託管，這將使團隊能夠移動蓋帽空間。他們的笑話經常使他們的偵察部門由六個人組成。

The Bengals used to be the biggest threat to Kansas City in the AFC. Through their desire to appease Burrow, they'll struggle to make the postseason and even if they do, who do they have to stop Mahomes? It's a good day to be a Chief.

孟加拉人曾經是亞足聯堪薩斯城的最大威脅。通過他們渴望安撫洞穴的願望，他們將努力地度過季后賽，即使他們這樣做，他們也必須阻止Mahomes？成為酋長是美好的一天。
