One could maybe argue coming back from 21 down at the start of the 2nd half is at least in some way "clutch," but I can see the argument being clutch means either win or not.
Bengals have really just 1 playmaker on defense and it shows.
And they don't ever try putting Hendrickson on the other side (or at least not that I have noticed).
Most teams' best OL is their LT, so Hendrickson is going against the best the OL has to offer. If the LT is bad, they may/will gameplan an extra blocker to help the LT out against Hendrickson.
And the rest of these DL can't seem to win 1-1 matchups, so there's little pressure.
Did anyone have an average time to throw for Burrow vs Herbert last night? Felt like Herbert had much longer.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
