Where the Cincinnati Bengals defense ranks among best in NFL

Sam Hubbard scored his first career NFL touchdown Sunday in the Cincinnati Bengals' 27-17 comeback win over the Miami Dolphins Adam Baum, abaum@enquirer.com

If in the fourth quarter of games this season the Bengals offense declined to run a play, instead opting to punt on first down, two things would be true.

One, everyone should be fired.

Two, the Bengals would still be winning the fourth quarter.

That’s because defensively not only has Teryl Austin’s group been stingy in the closing moments, but also opportunistic. They have allowed just 18 fourth-quarter points thus far and scored 21 themselves.
