For the second time in as many years, the Cincinnati Bengals faced the Kansas City Chiefs with a Super Bowl trip on the line in the AFC Championship. Unfortunately, the result didn't go Cincinnati's way in 2023.

Still likely reeling from this loss, the situation has been made worse by news that the Bengals are in danger of losing a key member of their coaching staff this offseason.

According to NFL insider Albert Breer, the Indianapolis Colts "are working on" lining a second interview with Bengals' offensive coordinator Brian Callahan for their open head coach role.

Callahan is not only being considered for the Indianapolis job, but has been linked to the Arizona Cardinals as well.

As Breer pointed out, Callahan is receiving heavy backing from legendary Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning. Which makes perfect sense given his successes with Joe Burrow. Working with the Bengals since 2019, the year before Burrow's rookie campaign, Cincinnati's offense has flourished under Callahan.

The Bengals finished with at least a top-eight offense (points scored) in each of the last two years while Burrow has burst onto the scene as another young, superstar quarterback.
