孟加拉人是一支继续困扰的团队。关于他们进入超级碗LVI的真相是，它被他们令人窒息的防守带来了牵头。

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.

孟加拉人是一支继续困扰的团队。他们竞选超级碗LVI的真相是，它是由于他们令人窒息的防守而不是爆炸性的进攻而牵头。

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.

乔·伯罗（Joe Burrow），Ja'marr Chase和Tee Higgins在这场比赛中发挥了巨大的作用，而防守有助于取得连续三场季后赛胜利。

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.

正是防守在那些比赛中连续三连胜。国防部将德里克·卡尔（Derek Carr）击倒，拦截了他的季后赛最后传球，尽管突袭者队距离末端区域有9码。正是防守使瑞安·坦尼希尔（Ryan Tannehill）三度在田纳西州赢得比赛的射门得分。辩护人还将德里克·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.

辩方是，尽管酋长队在孟加拉人的四码线上只有三场比赛，但仍将堪萨斯城的球命名为射门得分，以强迫OT，然后在加时赛中挑选Mahomes，以建立AFC冠军冠军射门得分。

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.

由于某种原因，在接下来的几年中，团队在进攻上花费了大量的钱，同时让他们的防守枯竭了，尽管他们的防守是他们上赛季错过季后赛的原因，但球队还是对进攻的承诺增加了一倍。

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

尽管他们在防守上损失了，但球队仍扩大了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费1.25亿美元，这三ð²JoeBurrow：每年5500万美元

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.

自从他们的超级碗比赛以来，球队就向后卫杰西·贝茨三世（Jessie Bates III），萨姆·哈伯德（Sam Hubbard），DJ Reader和Chidobe Awuzie表示告别，预计该团队也将向Germaine Pratt和2024年NFL Sack King King Trey Trey Hendrickson说再见。

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.

即使他们保留了亨德里克森，他的质量球员也通常每季的成本约为3200万美元。那将意味着孟加拉人可能会在四名球员上花费近1.6亿美元。目前的上限定为2.792亿美元。这意味着，如果孟加拉人扩大了亨德里克森（Hendrickson），则剩下1.192亿次花在49名球员身上。每个球员约为240万。

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.

孟加拉人有麻烦。没有其他方法可以说。他们没有钱投入托管，这将使团队能够移动盖帽空间。他们的笑话经常使他们的侦察部门由六个人组成。

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.

孟加拉人曾经是亚足联堪萨斯城的最大威胁。通过他们渴望安抚洞穴的愿望，他们将努力地度过季后赛，即使他们这样做，他们也必须阻止Mahomes？成为酋长是美好的一天。
