Throughout the season so far, Bengals have allowed TEs to get 84 receptions for 997 yards and 7 TDs.
Receptions allowed - Only 4 teams have allowed more (Colts, Bucs, Eagles, Ravens)
Yards allowed - Only 2 teams have allowed more (Colts, Chargers)
TDs allowed - Only 7 teams have allowed more (Lions, Ravens, Seahawks, Colts, Raiders, Eagles, Chargers)
Couple flaws with this argument ADG has been hurt quite a while and Wilson a few weeks. The other issue is all yards are not because of linebackers, in fact safeties are often responsible for the TE, sometimes even CB in zone. Long story short the stats don’t actually tell us anything about Wilson/Pratt/ADG’s ability to cover TE’s relative to the rest of the league.
