How does an NFL team win on the road despite rushing for 63 less yards, passing for 100 less yards, converting less third downs and having the ball less than their opponent? I’m still trying to figure it all out, but no position group had it worse than the Bengals’ defensive line in Week 11 against the Broncos.
Not including the two quarterback kneels from Andy Dalton, the Bengals offense ended up running only 51 plays (a common theme of late), while the Broncos ended up running 79 plays. Eight of the 12 drives for the Bengals’ offense were for four plays or less, and their longest drive was 3:17 of actual game time.
