According to FootballOutsiders here are how the Bengals defense has ranked at covering TEs over the last 5 years.

'12.... 12
'13....  9
'14....  4
'15.... 12
'16.... 17
'17.... 30

So we were really not that bad at all until last year.  Any thoughts on why that was?

My guess is 2017 was the worst year I can remember when it came to LB performance. Pretty much everyone besides Burfict was terrible.
