Ja'Marr Chase: To avoid another slow start, Bengals starters might need to play in the preseason (www.nfl.com)

The Cincinnati Bengals' perennial slow start has become a glaring issue, forcing them to burrow out of early-season holes. In the past two years, they've failed, finishing 9-8 and missing the postseason in back-to-back campaigns.

In six seasons under Zac Taylor, the Bengals have gone 1-11 in the first two weeks of the season and 4-13-1 through three weeks. The only year in which Cincy had a winning record through three weeks, 2021, they went to the Super Bowl.

"It sounds like we need to play in the preseason, huh?" receiver Ja'Marr Chase said on Tuesday, via the Associated Press.

I have to confess that I never really follow the pre-season.

So, does this meant that the main starters don't usually play in pre-season? If not, what's the point of them? I thought they were there to get players up to speed before the important games start?

I confess I'm coming at this from a football ⚽ point of view, where pre-season 'friendlies' are a very common thing, and where the top squad players will always have at least some involvement in matches. They may play only 60 minutes out of 90, but they're there.

I had no idea that football 🏈 was different in that regard!

I think generally ive seen starters play in at most the first half of one game, maybe as little as one drive all preseason
