If the season were to start today and someone told you the Bengal D will be top 12 in the NFL in points and yards, would your next question be "But what about 3rd down conversions?"

Hey. What do you know. Stats don't tell everything that happens on the football field.

What would you say about our offense if I told you Andy Dalton ranked in the top 9 of passing touchdowns and top 15 in QB rating? Or that he had the best QB rating, most TDs, and less INTs than every other QB in our division?
Sure. Not the highest passing yardage (18th overall). But by those stats alone, you would think our passing offense is doing pretty well, huh?
