There’s not much left for this iteration of the Cincinnati Bengals to prove. They’re entering December with a top-12 units on offense and defense according to DVOA and EPA/play, and they’re 4-2 against clubs with winning records, including their most recent win against the Kansas City Chiefs. And not that we need to verify their success, but they’ve done all this while suffering key injuries throughout the season.
Injuries continued to play a factor into Sunday’s win as Joe Mixon remained sidelined in the concussion protocol, and another offensive starter went down in the first quarter.
