Offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher wants to see the unit aim even higher in 2026. He says the keys for the offense taking the next step are finding more explosive plays and limiting turnovers at a higher rate. “We can really look at it from a schematic standpoint and make sure we have the tools we need,” Pitcher said Monday as the Bengals had their pre-training camp luncheon. “(Turnovers) ...
