We were bottom 3 in the league in giveaways the past two years. The Bengals TAKE CARE of the football - don't fumble or throw interceptions. They also take the ball away a decent amount - top 10 the past two years. They were top 5 in turnover differential in 2022 and 2023.
This team is not perfect by any means, but taking the ball away and not giving it away can off set a lot of the deficiencies this team has - especially on defense.
It's probably not a good idea to rely on it and I'm not sure its super sustainable, but it's definetly a part of this teams identity and you can tell its coached/preached. It's becoming a trend.
Yes, cannot rely on this all the time. Especially getting turnovers on Defense, cannot turn the ball over on Offense though and that is the
reason we weren't able to make the Playoffs this year with Jake IMO. We are also one of the least penalized teams over the last few years
which is a product of good coaching I must say which is a great thing.
