00:00and a trend that has been long standing around the NFL for the better part of
00:09the last two decades a team that finishes dead last in a division looking
00:15to win the division the year following here are the teams that finished in last
00:20in the AFC who will go worst to first now all four teams in the AFC North
00:26finished with a winning record so the Bengals technically at 9 and 8 did
00:30finish in last second best price to win the AFC North this year with the
00:34expectation of a fully healthy Joe Burrow the Chargers in last last year in
00:39the AFC West the Titans finishing in the cellar of the AFC South and the Patriots
00:44just 4 and 13 but still the longest price to win the AFC East this year out
00:50of that group Donnie I would think the Bengals get your eye but who do you
00:55think has the best chance to go worst to first from last season to this year
00:59in 2024 it's got to be the Bengals and also forget about you're talking about
01:04Joe Burrow let's just say if he's healthy one of the better quarterbacks
01:07in the NFL that should help obviously but you are taking a look at regime
01:11changes on most of these franchises the Bengals don't have a regime change yes
01:14they lost their offensive coordinator but still the head coach is there the
01:17quarterback is there the wide receivers technically are still there but the
01:21Chargers what did they do new head coach the Titans what did they do new head
01:24coach Patriots what did they do Ben new head coach as well it takes some time
01:28typically you don't hit the ground running and even in a case with the
01:32Chargers 5 and 12 last year we've always said like boy I wonder if they can just
01:36get a competent coach that when everything around them is swirling and
01:39going bad he can calm the waters here and get them to win football games and
01:43get them to sustain late you figure the Chargers have that but they didn't keep
01:46the same football team I wanted to see the Chargers come into the season with
01:49the exact carbon copy roster they had last year with just a competent coach
01:53like we know hardball will be so that makes it a little bit tougher and also
01:56yes you're not just going hey let's win this division because finally Patrick
02:00Holmes and Andy Reid retired in the same season you still have to go up against
02:03the Chiefs that's going to be hard enough the Titans a lot of question
02:07marks like what they did in the offseason Hopkins injury not gonna help
02:10them but you're banking on Will Levis and a brand new coach winning that
02:13division that's gonna be tough the Patriots we don't have to say anything
02:16more the least talented franchise in the NFL by a wide margin they're not winning
02:21anything in the in the East here so if I'm looking at the Bengals perspective
02:25even though me you know I'm not high on the Bengals of this list by far it's the
02:29Bengals with the best chance to go from worse the first for me
