The secondary need to step up big time. It's starting to look like Higgins might play the game, which will be huge for Bengals.

The wide receivers needing to step up seems to be a common theme. After looking at some all-22 film shot from behind the QB, I don't think that WR improvement is the primary thing needed for our passing game to improve. They have been consistently getting open on crossing routes but Jayden Daniels has hesitated to throw the ball when they are "NFL open", meaning gaining separation. This is normal for a developing NFL QB. Jayden is learning his trade. In time, he will anticipate his receivers coming open and complete more passes to them.
