33 times did the Cincinnati Bengals drop back to pass Friday night against the Washington Football Team, and just like last week in Tampa Bay, the offensive line put up a goose egg in the sacks allowed column.
Whether it was the starting five or the five that replaced them in the second quarter, Frank Pollack’s unit held strong when Brandon Allen and even Kyle Shurmur dropped back behind them.
Washington let their starting defensive line, one that features four first-round picks, in the game for one-and-a-half quarters to begin the game. They eventually were facing off against Cincinnati’s second-team protection unit for a couple of drives.
