We need to add another WR and a real playmaking TE to get those numbers up. We had a grand total of 9 passing TD’s to players not named Tyler Boyd or Tee Higgins. That’s brutal.

Defensively Tampa Bay had 182% more sacks than the Bengals (48 to 17), but only allowed 9% fewer passing tds (29 to 32).

Offensively Seattle allowed the exact same number of sacks as the Bengals (48) but threw 111% more tds (40 to 19)

Basically all you did was cherry pick two random stats that the Bengals were worst at and combined them.

Their was 2 numbers stood out to me and I looked deeper
Into adding the 2 stats together and see if it could corralate
To something.
It may have.

Todays NFL is based around aerial production
And on the other side of the ball negating the effectiveness
Of a QB aka sacking the QB.

So I added up the numbers and they don't lie.
The Bengals were dead last in the NFL with a combined
TD passes and sacking the QB with 36.

So then I looked at other teams.
Tampa had 90
2nd was Green Bay with 89
3rd was Seattle with 86
The Chiefs had 72
PITTSBURGH HAD 81
RAVENS 66
BROWNS 65

The bottom 3 teams Bengals New England New York Jets
Carolina....did not make the playoffs

You get the picture now.
Teams that can accumalate 60 or better usually finish .500 or better
Or make the playoffs.

And Eifert led the team in receiving TD’s.

They also had 26 rushing TDs though, so probably worth changing pass TDs to just total TDs.
