We have had 1 really good year for TDS/G, 1 mediocre, and 3 well below average years. Scoring has been slightly better with 2 really good years. Things were trending in the right direction after adding Burrow/Chase (obviously). 2023 was just a disappointment in every aspect due to injuries.
What was interesting is that PTS/G was almost always decently better than YDS/G. In the post-season, we were below average on yards but above average on points. Not sure if this is telling that we were reliant on defensive giving us field position or turnovers. It does point to what we all felt with going through extended spells of just not being able the move the ball consistently. With Burrow, Chase, Tee, Boyd, & Mixon, that just seems indefensible. Blame the OL, OC, or both.
Regular Season (out of 32 Teams)
YDS/G PTS/G
2023 22 20
2022 8 7
2021 13 7 <-Chase's rookie season
2020 29 29 <- Burrow's rookie season
2019 26 30

2021 8 5
The efficiency rankings are really the most important. But you also need to see their success couple with their OL ranking. We know our OL vs some of the best offenses. SF & Philly are great in the OL but not as good at QB. There’s their trade off. KC & Bills have decent OL and great QB’s. One efficiency rating is points per play. We are solid there. In ‘21 & ‘22 only two teams finished better than us both years. KC & Bills. We were 8th both years. But the caveat is our OL was by far the worst of anybody in the top 10.
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.
