Bengals Have Never Won In Play-Offs 2 Years In A Row

I think Taylor has had an excellent season schematically. There were games early where the offense sputtered, and it was very similar to what Andy Reid and the Chiefs experienced the previous season against the same coverages.

One of the biggest problems with Zac's offenses entering the year had been their struggles during the scripted plays portions of games. He was rightly criticized for that. Well now they're taking the ball when they win the coin flip and scoring on the opening drive. They've scored touchdowns on their opening drive seven times:

TD @ Jets
FG @ Dallas
TD vs. Dolphins
TD vs. Falcons
TD vs. Panthers
TD vs. Chiefs
TD @ Patriots
TD vs. Bills (yanno)

They also scored touchdowns on their first drive of the second half three times:

TD @ Jets
TD @ Saints
TD vs. Panthers
FG vs. Chiefs
FG @ Buccaneers

Obviously this isn't the whole picture, but it's a nice representation of the improvement in one major area where it was needed entering the season.
