O-Line Cost Us a Championship

Our WRs combined for over 200 yards and 2 TDs.

Burrow was good, but limited on what plays we could run.

Mixon rushed for 73 on 4.8 per carry and even threw a TD.

ST was great once again.

But.....our "offensive" line gave up 7 sacks and had our offense game planning around it's limitations.

Burrow was sacked 70 times overall this season and it took awhile, but the injury people were worried about might have happened again. To the other knee.

Chase was great. Fix. The. Line.

I blame the offensive lone mostly, but the sucky defensive backfield deserves some of the blame too.  This Bengals team is not a complete team on either side of the ball.  The QB and RB and WR positions are fine on offense but the oline sucks, and the DL and LB are fine on defense but the defensive backfield sucks.  Investment needs to be made in BOTH of those areas and I think both hold equal suckage in that game
