How many times have the Bengals trailed this year?  Twice?  

What do teams do when they are behind?  They pass the ball.  I'm not surprised one bit that the Bengals are rated low in passing yards allowed.  

While you make a good point Redleg's post matches the eye test.

Part of the reason we give up that much yardage is because of scheme.  Our defense lives by pressure up front, stopping the run and preventing the big play.

Part of the reason is that we are weak and injured at the LB position - and we were hurting at cornerback and safety

And your point that teams that are behind pass the ball.

But we struggled to defend the run or the pass against Kansas City and gave up a lot of yardage.   Seven scoring drives is a lot.  If they punted I'd be guessing it was only once.

I think Sunday will be a defensive struggle.   If the D plays like that again we'll have a hard time winning.
