Dalton Risner is the secret hero driving the Bengals' high-powered offense
The Cincinnati Bengals are in great shape with a 5-2 record entering Week 9's awesome trip to Madrid to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Well, at least their offense is in great shape, and a big, underrated reason for that is Dalton Risner.
Even as the Bengals' rushing attack has struggled, Risner has excelled in that department and continued building his reputation as one of the low-key best interior pass blockers in all of football.
We've praised right tackle Amarius Mims a lot in this space. He's deserved it with his elite pass protection for Joe Burrow. However, Mims and Risner are only as good as the men next to them, and they're absolutely feeding off each other to great success.
