Yes, this is true. When the offensive line cannot run block consistently, this puts pressure on the passing game to succeed. Defenses know this and basically play a lot man under against the Bengals because they know with the run game out of commission, the pass game is all Cincinnati has. The bad offensive line has turned the Bengals into a throw it fifty times a game team which is not how the offensive playbook is composed.
