It hunts its prey with ferocity. It seeks to rule the jungle. The last 30 months have been an unforgettable journey. In less than two years, we secured great players in free agency and "virtually" drafted Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins and Logan Wilson from our couches to an AFC Championship and then Super Bowl. We saw a bright future and invested in content to document the stories. We enhanced gameday experience to deliver a home field advantage fitting for a championship team. You fans have embraced this vision with unbelievable energy, confidence and swagger. WE. LOVE. IT. 2022 is a new season. We are hungry and only looking forward. We are a new breed of Bengal that rises to every occasion. We already stared our ultimate goal dead in the eyes and didn't back down. Today we stare and say: it's go time.
