Locked On Bengals

Hosted by Locked On Bengals

A daily, data-driven podcast for Cincinnati Bengals fans that specializes in debunking common media and fan narratives with in-depth analysis.

The brief

This is a film-and-data-heavy show for serious Bengals fans. The hosts frequently structure episodes as 'Mythbusting' segments, taking a popular narrative about the team—like the need for more play-action—and using statistics and on-field examples to either support or, more often, dismantle it. It's less a news report and more a daily analytical briefing on scheme, player performance, and team strategy.

The 'Mythbusting' format is the show's signature, directly challenging and testing the validity of prevailing sports talk narratives. Their commitment to daily, data-backed analysis sets them apart from more reactionary or personality-driven sports commentary.
