The line has played pretty well, in fact it is the best playing unit on the offense so far. Add in 4.0 YPC ground game too.

I've mentioned multiple times across various threads in the past, but PFF grades aren't as simple as "no pressure = perfect pass block rating."
So just because a low number of pressures was allowed doesn't necessarily mean they were perfect on their pass block rep.

Also, 4.0 YPC is not considered very good nowadays in the run game.
They're 19th in the league in YPC.

I think teams are learning to put (more) focus on coverage and ok with letting the Bengals run more, as they know the run game isn't dominant enough to carry the offense.
