I am looking at several games (Seattle, LA Rams, 1st Cleveland game) where they had over 400 yards off offense, but never scored more than 20 points (20, 10, and 19 respectively).
That screams of red zone inefficiency. We had Eifert available for a lot of it, but he wasn't the same player he was in the past. The Bengals were also ridiculously dependent on the passing attack early, and once the offense was more balanced (and Dalton returned) they averaged 24.4 points per game. That included a game with 5 turnovers.
24.4 points per game won't win 11 games with the defense we had, but it could be competitive with their year's squad?
I think Joe Mixon is going to come out on fire against the Chargers. His success this first game will be huge for Burrow.
