In the previous season spanning over 17 matches, Joe Burrow, the team’s quarterback, gave an excellent performance. With a passing distance totaling 4,918 yards, translated to an average of 289.3 yards per game, his performance is something to be applauded. He also succeeded in scoring 43 touchdowns, kept interceptions to a minimum at nine, and maintained a decent completion percentage of 70.6%.
However, Joe Burrow’s value to the team wasn’t just through the air. He was also equally effective on the ground. With a 201 yard stretch over the season, along with two impressive touchdowns, his footwork played an instrumental role in the team’s overall offensive strategy.
Among the most notable players, Ja’Marr Chase, a primary wide receiver of the team, tallied impressive figures–1,708 yards covered and 17 touchdowns recorded over a span of 127 successful catches. His performance played a pivotal role in enhancing the offensive capabilities of the Bengals.
On the rushing front, Chase Brown distinguished himself with an admirable 990 yard run stretching across the games. Averaging 61.9 yards per game, Brown managed to put seven touchdowns under his belt. Additionally, he shined in the passing game, collecting 360 yards and four touchdowns from 54 catches.
Another significant offensive contributor was Tee Higgins, who played a key role by contributing 911 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns over his 73 successful catches. Higgins’ performance was crucial in securing the team’s offensive success throughout the previous season.
Switching gears to defense, Trey Hendrickson stood out in the last season, with impressive figures to his name. In his tally were 46 tackles, 19.0 tackles for loss (TFL), and a whopping 17.5 sacks, all of which were achieved during the 17 games that he played.
Also under the defensive spotlight was Germaine Pratt. With his presence on the field felt in every one of the 17 games, he made considerable strides. He recorded a total of 5.0 tackles for loss, a stunning 143 tackles overall, and intercepted the ball twice.
In the 11 games he participated in last season, Logan Wilson compiled an impressive record consisting of 104 tackles, 2.0 decisions for TFL, and a single pass defended. His performance in these games played a vital role in the overall defensive strategy of the Bengals.
Cam Taylor-Britt was another defensive mainstay who made his presence felt on the field. With three interceptions, 77 tackles, and 1.0 TFL, to his credit, he made significant contributions. He also managed 0.5 sacks and defended 16 passes, strengthening the team’s defense in the process.
In terms of overall offensive output, the Bengals were placed sixth in the NFL last season, with an average of 27.8 points per game. This gives a reflection of the team’s offensive competencies during the course of the previous season. However, they were placed 25th defensively, allowing an average of 25.5 points per game.
During the last season, Cincinnati averaged a healthy 365.5 yards in offense per game which put them ninth overall in the league. However, their defensive record wasn’t as stellar. The team let go of an average of 348.3 yards per match, placing them 25th on the defensive rankings amongst NFL teams.
In the previous season, the Bengals forced 25 turnovers, the seventh best in the NFL, revealing their strong defensive capabilities. However, they faltered by committing 22 turnovers themselves which ranked them as the 19th team in this respect.
Taking into account both forced and committed turnovers of the Bengals, the team ended with a turnover margin of +3. This positioned them as the 14th best team in the NFL in terms of turnover margin, a key factor determining game possession and possibly the outcome of games.
