The Bengals offensive line has been REALLY good this season
This is refreshing to see the Bengals’ offensive line playing the way they’re playing right now.
The Bengals' offensive line has been exceptional this season. For years, fans had criticized the team's offensive line, but now it stands out as one of the NFL's best. In their first six games, the Bengals allowed only ten sacks, with Joe Burrow facing an average of only one sack per game. This improvement is particularly noticeable in the absence of the team's playoff run last year.
The offensive line's success can be attributed to the addition of Orlando Brown Jr., a top left tackle acquired in free agency, and the drafting of Amarius Mims, a promising franchise right tackle. Their performances have been impressive, with Brown erasing a Ravens edge rusher and Mims filling in effectively when needed.
The team's interior offensive line, led by veteran Ted Karras, has also been solid. Meanwhile, emerging talents like Dylan Fairchild, a third-round pick, and Dalton Risner, who has been outstanding in both passing and running games, have provided valuable support.
With these improvements, the Bengals' offensive line has consistently created clean pockets for Burrow, allowing him to have clean passes and limiting sacks. This has been a significant turnaround for the team, which hadn't been in the playoffs for four years. The Bengals' offensive line deserves recognition for their excellent performance, even if they prefer to remain under the radar.
