Over the first 9 games, they played 6 games against a winning team.
Over the last 7 games, they only played 1 game against a winning team.
In the final 7 games, they played 3 teams that picked in the Top-9 in the draft. The only game they played against a winning team in the final 7, they lost 34-13.
True, but the Bengals also changed their blocking schematic after mid-year and he came back from injury. Keep in mind, also, that there was a revolving door at LT next to him and any offensive line coach will tell you that it has a lot to do with how the group plays as a unit. When Fred Johnson played LT the last couple games, Jordan played well right along with him. They did score 35 points against a Dolphins defense that shut down the Patriots and also 33 against the Browns. Both without AJ Green.
Here is one quote you might find interesting:
The Bengals might have found something in Jordan, who ranked above players like Rams guards Austin Blythe and Joseph Noteboom in pass blocking, per PFF.
