Bengals lost 3 games that they lead in the fourth quarter.  Giants, Pittsburgh and Houston.

That is too many, but the overwhelming majority of the games (13 of 16) were decided by play outside the fourth quarter.

Don't forget the Bills game where they only needed 5 points to win and didn't score a single point in the entire second half (which includes the 4th quarter).

Or the Broncos game where they took the lead 17-16 in the first play (or maybe second play) of the 4th quarter then allowed 13 unanswered points to lose.

Or the Redskins game where they led going into the 4th quarter but lost the lead and then couldn't generate a single point in overtime, resulting in a tie.

That is 6 games lost because of ineptitude in the 2nd half of the game.

You are correct that there are more than 4 quarters in a game. But 6 games being decided due to the inability to make anything happen in the 4th quarter offensively is the reason why we aren't in the playoffs right now.
