Lack of turnovers and non existant return game is killing this team
#13
best stat site out there that is free http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2016/opp.htm
Turnovers also easily found on espn, nfl, etc sites too.

Bengals defense has 7 turnovers, 6 intros & 1 fumble recovery. They are pretty much right at league average (7.8) tied at 17th with the Clowns. I dont see this as a glaring issue though obviously more turnovers are always welcome.

However punt returns they are terrible, and not much better in kick returns. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2016/#all_returns

Punt returns - tied last in the league 32nd with the Cards with a 6.1 yard average. 15 yards is the longest this year.
Kickoff returns - tied 24th with the Steelers with a 19.8 yard average. 26 yards is the longest so far this year.

In other words, we have one of the worst return games in the entire league right now. So I agree with the OP, they arent doing the offense any favors at all with field position. Just absolutely awful.
