It is no secret that the Bengals have struggled as a team this season, but the offense has been incredibly disappointing. At the beginning of the season, it appeared the injury to A.J. Green was to blame for Cincinnati’s poor offensive play. However, as the season goes on, It is clear there are more problems than just an injured star receiver.
The offensive line has been brutal in run blocking this season. Last season’s AFC rushing leader Joe Mixon has no time to break open a run. Cincinnati is dead last in the NFL in rushing yards.
