The Cincinnati Bengals have had a problem protection quarterback Joe Burrow since he entered the league, and that did not change in 2024. Knowing that, one NFL analyst is urging the Bengals to sign a Detroit Lions starting offensive lineman who is slated to hit free agency in 2025.

The Detroit Lions are the third team since at least 2010 to have both coordinators become NFL head coaches in the same offseason.

"There's only 32 of these," Golden said when asked why he wanted to return to the Bengals after a successful stint in the college ranks, at Notre Dame. "There's even less that have Joe Burrow."

Detroit Lions 15-2 season made us believe – and then we all took a gut punch from the Washington Commanders. Welcome to a maddening NFL offseason.

Former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is off to Chicago to lead the Bears. Former defensive Aaron Glenn is now the head coach of the New York Jets. Both will be missed in Detroit, but Campbell and company must move forward with the assistants remaining. That process has already begun.

The Lions are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time and host the Washington Commanders Saturday in the divisional round. With a win, the Lions could reach the NFC championship game for a second consecutive year and host the game for the first time in franchise history.

The Bengals have made it official with their new defensive coordinator. Cincinnati announced that the club ... a second interview this week and his prior work with the Lions while Glenn was in Detroit suggested that they might come in as a package.

ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Wednesday afternoon that Golden, the defensive coordinator for Notre Dame this season, has informed the school of his decision to join the Bengals.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Dan Campbell have been named finalists for MVP and Coach of the Year, respectively.

The Cincinnati Bengals have found their next defensive coordinator – and he has prior experience under head coach Zac Taylor.

The Bengals named Scott Peters as offensive line coach and Michael McCarthy as assistant offensive line coach.
