. . Previous: 31st. Cincinnati Bengals. 29. team. 56

I was very impressed with the Bengals for a lot of their game against the Seattle Seahawks. They didn’t close it out, but to play as well as they did without their star receiver and without their left tackle, it is pretty impressive.

At one point I thought about having them higher on this list, but I am a little bit concerned that the Seahawks OL was a big key in keeping everything as close as it was.

As the season goes forward, I am going to keep an eye on how Boyd and (eventually) Green fit into this offense. If they can get something going with the OL issues they have, then the arrow might be pointing up on the franchise as a whole even though they may take some lumps this year.
