Colin Cowherd: Cincinnati Is The Best Team In The League
CINCINNATI — Colin Cowherd is a big believer in the Cincinnati Bengals.
The host of The Herd on FS1 has Zac Taylor's team at No. 1 in his latest "Herd Hierarchy."
"I think Cincinnati is the best team in the league," Cowherd said. "I've been on this for seven weeks, situationally best team in football, six-game winning streak. Burrow now has time to throw. He's completing 70% of his throws. I don't see a lot of weaknesses here."
The Bengals own the second-longest winning streak in the NFL at six games (San Francisco is on a seven-game streak).
They are heating up at the exact right time as Baltimore awaits the return of its quarterback to an offense that hasn't thrown a passing TD in December.
"They were totally flat against Tampa on the road. A decent team and came roaring back. They have two running backs. Three receivers, tight end, now Burrow's getting protection. Defense doesn't have stars but usually schemes brilliantly at half and shuts you down. Cincinnati by a nose best team in the league."
Cowherd has Burrow on his podcast weekly and isn't wavering with his praise for the team. Cincinnati started rough at 0-2, but is now looking like one of those rare teams that cracks the playoff pack after opening with two losses.
Cincinnati travels to New England on Christmas Eve. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET on CBS. You can watch via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
