Their pass protection is the worst in the league. I’m pretty sure DVOA accounts for that as part of the passing offensive ranking.
Those rankings sound about right.
Willie Gay has been exceptional at tracking down running plays from the back side. Mixon isn’t a burner, so Gay will be really effective this week.

They give up more than their share of sacks, that's certain. But Burrow seems largely unflustered even when sacked multiple times in a game. One of the many things I like about him, and a principal reason i think he'll become a top-10 QB someday, provided CIN actually gets him an OL soon.
But my gut says Burrow will struggle early vs. our defense, which is unlike anything he's seen before, even very different than the defense we had last time we played CIN, pre-Burrow.
And then there's the simple fact they can't stop any TEs they've played this year.
How do they think their D is going to fare against the best TE in the game (maybe the best ever)?
