Key Players: Chad Johnson, David Pollack, Rudi Johnson, Carson Palmer, Brian Simmons
2005 Outlook: Rudi Johnson is for real and Carson Palmer will continue to progress and should be over 3,500 yards this year. Chad Johnson is one of the top receivers in the league and TJ Houshmanzadah and Kelly Washington should both have good years as well. The offensive line is strong also.
The Bengals defense will more than hold their own with Justin Smith providing a pass rush and rookies Odell Thurman and David Pollack joining Brian Simmons as linebackers. The secondary is very good as well with youngsters Madieu Williams and Keiwan Ratliff joining veterans Deltha O'Neal nad Tory James.
Projection: 9-7 Will fight for the last Wild Card spot
