Over previous 5 years ('13-'17) Bengals PASS defense allowed 36.1% of third downs converted. They rank 15th, and are just slightly better than the league average of 36.5. However it is interesting to note that only two teams in the league faced more third down passes than the Bengals (911) over that span.
In the red zone the Bengals pass defense only allowed 29.6% of third downs converted to rank 9th in the league. League average is 32.1%.
Inside the ten yard line they were even better ranking third with a 28.0 3rd down conversion percentage. League average is 38.4%.
