The Bengals’ offense has struggled to put together a complete drive all season and Monday night was no different. They have produced far too many three-and-outs but even when they get a first down, their drives often fizzle out before they get into the end zone.
A lot of times it is a penalty or sack that throws the drive into a tail spin. They have a tough time recovering from these losses of yards that put them quite literally behind the chains. This is a team that cannot afford to be off-schedule; trying to make up for not progressively working towards a first down.
