Not counting the last Browns game (for obvious reasons), the Bengals are 0-5 when turning the ball over 2+ times and 10-1 when turning it over 1 time or less.
Pretty stark contrast there. We are utterly dominant as long as we protect the football.
Btw, the only loss was to the Jets, which makes that game even stranger.

That was a bad day and yet still scored 31 points - enough to win most games.

Turnovers are key no question. Didn't get a turnover the last time we played the Chiefs if I am not mistaken.
Could be due.

This correlation is strong for every team at every level. Congratulations on creating yet another worthless thread.

That's an interesting way to make your 28th post ever on a forum.
Anyway, Shake n' Bake has it right. As important as turnovers always are, I think that is drastically amplified against the Chiefs. Slowing them down is going to be hard enough without giving them extra opportunities.

We could have had a couple for us too. Apple dropped one and Hilton another. I think Hilton's could have been a pick six too.

Yeah obviously there's a correlation between turnovers and wins, 28 posts guy.
But the difference between 0-5 and 10-1 is extreme. Teams do win games turning it over 2 times. They also lose lots of games turning it over once. The point of the thread (which flew over your head apparently), is that this team is dominating when not turning it over.
Not every team has a .909 win % when turning it over 1 time or less. Get it?

We turned it over last week, only one, yes. However, I think it's imperative that we get at least two of them ourselves.

They've only turned it over 2 times in 3 playoff games in the Mahomes era.
vs Steelers this year (W)
Bucs Super Bowl (L)
49ers Super Bowl (W)
Only the Bucs were +2 in the turnover category.

Yeah, if there was an off season emphasis or two it would be tackling technique (including working on arm/ grip strength) and defensive players working extensively on the jugs machine - and any other set of drills that gets them better at holding on to the ball.
The guy who really has the tackling technique down pat is Logan Wilson. Classic tackling technique

Defense decided to take the day off from tacking that day

A buncha dudes that play together and fly to the ball. When you do that, good things can happen.
