Hendrickson tied for 3rd among individual players (7.0). Most in league is 8.0 - Danielle Hunter and TJ Watt.

Bengals did well from a run defense perspective against ARZ SEA and LAR, but they've allowed a lot of rushing yards against the other 4 teams.

If the Bengals can get their run defense going like we're used to and/or getting some more pass rush from others not named Hendrickson, Hubbard, and Hill, that should help a ton.

As to getting others involved in the pass rush, I am hoping a healthy Ossai will maybe help out in that regard. And it still shocks me that to this day Myles Murphy is only on the field 11 snaps per game, only 17 percent. Not sure the full story there but I would think a first round defensive lineman would merit more PT in this case.
