This is an excerpt with a deep dive by Paul Dehner in The Athletic
#Bengals efficiency rankings:
Offense
Points/drive: 4th
Red zone: 3rd
Three-and-outs: 11th
Successful play rate: 2nd
Third downs: 3rd
Defense
Points/drive: 14th
Red zone: 13th
Three-and-outs: 13th
Successful play rate: 11th
Third downs: 13th
The last four weeks they lead the NFL
in nearly every major efficiency category.
Yes, the Saints, Falcons and Panthers
defenses are far from the intimidating
league dominators, but this is the NFL
and points are points. The Bengals just
keep putting them up.
It's not far off to see this team leading
the league in offense at year's end.
Generally, the defenses they will face
over second half of the season are better.
Half rank in the top quarter of the
league in weighted defensive DVOA:
Patriots (fourth), Bills (fifth), Bucs
(seventh) and Titans (eighth). They
will be given plenty of opportunities to
prove their worth against quality
defenses and if their trajectory continues
and Ja'Marr Chase returns at full health,
they should be more than capable to post big numbers.

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
