So, we’ve never done this before. I wasn’t even sure what to do.
This was usually the time for year-end reviews of the Cincinnati Bengals. Four years ago I did a complete recap of the 2017 offensive line, a form of punishment I probably deserved but definitely didn’t anticipate.
The 2021 version has not been spectacular by any means, but they make that group and others of recent memory look absolutely horrifying in comparison.
In truth, Joe Burrow has a lot to do with this. He’s taken a franchise-high 51 sacks this year, and it would’ve been a lot more if he wasn’t the escape artist he was when fully healthy.
