Bengals Offensive Line Grades: O-Line Is Actually GOOD?!

Episode Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals offensive line ranks as one of the NFL’s most improved units through five games, boasting top run block win rates and keeping Joe Burrow upright with just nine sacks allowed. Can Amarius Mims’ shutdown performances and Dalton Risner’s consistency on the right side elevate the Bengals to the league’s elite? Analysts highlight Orlando Brown’s struggles and Dylan Fairchild’s ups and downs, but the O-line’s overall B+ grade marks a major turnaround for the AFC North contender. Tight end play draws a mixed report card, with Mike Gesicki hauling in 12 catches for 159 yards and a league-leading four touchdowns—making him Burrow’s most trusted red zone target. Erick All and Drew Sample receive average marks, shining more in blocking than as receiving threats, while Tanner Hudson’s early success is put on hold due to injury. Bengals fans have reason to be optimistic as the offense balances line protection and tight end production heading deeper into the 2024 NFL season. 5-Hour Energy Bring on the sweetness with Cotton Candy 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots, available online now at https://5hourENERGY.com or on Amazon.
