The Tee Conundrum

If you want to play that game, last year the Bengals scored 19.8 ppg with Tee and 23 ppg without Tee.

That's a mirage created almost exclusively because Tee missed the start of the season where Zac doesn't have his team prepared regardless if Tee is there or not....
2024 the first two weeks (without Tee) we averaged 17.5 ppg on offense.
2023 the first two weeks (WITH Tee) we averaged 10 ppg on offense.
2022 the first two weeks (WITH Tee) we averaged 18.5 ppg on offense.
2021 the first two weeks (WITH Tee) we averaged 22 ppg on offense.
2020 the first two weeks (WITH Tee) we averaged 21.5 ppg on offense.
.....That's just Zac Taylor football right there and Tee being there or not has nothing to do with it.

The last 3 games that Tee missed we were averaging 30.7 ppg.
