The lesson the Ravens taught the Bengals and the difference it makes in the playoffs

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the best way to get the “real coaching experience” is to try to figure out a game plan for short-yardage situations near the goal line.

It’s one of the toughest scenarios that Taylor faces as a play caller. On a play like 3rd and goal from the 4-yard line, there are usually more defensive linemen on the line of scrimmage. Ja’Marr Chase is usually double teamed.There’s a really small window to score a touchdown, and these situations have tested Taylor and the Bengals over the last few seasons.
