Bengals OC Dan Pitcher says more explosive plays and fewer turnovers are the goal in 2026

Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher aims for more explosive plays and fewer turnovers in 2026.

All 11 starters and key backups return from last season's roster, providing continuity.

Quarterback Joe Burrow is involved in offensive discussions and open to new ideas to generate explosive plays.

The running game improved in the second half of 2025 with contributions from Amarius Mims, Dylan Fairchild, and Chase Brown.

Pitcher wants to feature running back Chase Brown more alongside wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
