First drive
1st drop back- the line is pushed into Burrow's face and he has to release it quickly.
2nd- quick release or would have been sacked
3rd- decent blocking but a guy got pressure on a stunt
4th- decent blocking but ball got tipped by a rusher and intercepted
Second drive
1st drop back- screen right away
2nd play no run blocking movement
3rd sacked but whole line got destroyed, not just one player
Third drive
1st pass play was a sack
2nd he threw to the back right away because there was immediate pressure
3rd only three rushers and he got rid of it but didn't hold it very long and would have gotten sacked if he held onto it a split second longer.
That's only three drives, but does it get better or am I correct about the line being bad? That's how I remember most of the game going, or do I need to go watch more?
No offense, but I’ll defer to guys like this when it comes to OL play.
Tl;dr - The #Bengals OL has their best game since Week 8 against the Bucs as they extend their win streak to 6 games!

For the second time this season, not one member of the front five graded below a 70. Cappa has a much needed bounce back game and the boys look to get rolling! https://t.co/OAI90GGeg0
