The Bengals have a depleted secondary. Chidobe Awuzie is out for the season, Mike Hilton is out this week, and Eli Apple is banged up a bit yet will likely start. Dax Hill is new to the league, Tre Flowers has his ups and downs, and Von Bell can’t be everywhere at once.
The solution? A better pass rush!
It’s true. If Carolina’s quarterback is hurried, pressured, and sacked — like the Browns and Cowboys did to Joe Burrow — the Bengals have a puncher’s chance at going into the bye week at 5-4. There’s no better way to take pressure from the secondary is to put the quarterback in a shrinking pocket every time he drops back.
