'We've got to be better': What's holding the Cincinnati Bengals offense back on third down
Over the first five weeks of the season, the Cincinnati Bengals offense has had an all-or-nothing quality.
On one drive, quarterback Joe Burrow’s connection with wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and running back Joe Mixon’s efficiency will make scoring a touchdown look easy. And on the next drive, the Bengals will go three-and-out.
Through the first five games, the Bengals rank 18th in the NFL in points per game. The offense hasn’t been as dynamic as the team expected after surrounding Burrow with one of the best groups of skill position players in the NFL.
