How to fix Bengals' struggling offense? Start in the red zone

CINCINNATI -- The first drive of the Cincinnati Bengals' most recent loss showed a reason they are still winless.

On Cincinnati's opening series against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the Bengals' moved the ball with ease until they were four yards away from the goal line. That's when it became tricky.

After a 1-yard loss and an incomplete pass on third down, Cincinnati was forced to settle for a field goal. And in what has turned into a theme in 2019, the Bengals couldn't end a red zone drive in a touchdown.

Five weeks into the season, the Bengals are 31st in red zone efficiency and have the second-most turnovers in that part of the field.
