The Cincinnati Bengals are 1-3 after their first win of the season in Week 4. They’ve just been outscored by 12 points in their three losses and have yet to be defeated by a team by more than six points.
It’s no secret that much of the problem for the Bengals has been their defense.
They’ve struggled to get pressure on an opposing passer, they’ve struggled to stop the run and, because quarterbacks have been able to sit in the pocket, the secondary has been vulnerable.
In fact, it wasn’t until Week 4 that the Bengals defense started to look like they knew what game they were playing, and they still allowed Andy Dalton to score 24 points with Diontae Johnson, Xavier Legette and Chubba Hubbard.
