The Cincinnati Bengals have won two straight games against New York and Cleveland, but have had some slight struggles on offense, with just 304 total yards and 17 points against the Giants, and 223 yards and 21 points against the Browns.
Despite scoring 38 points combined in the last two weeks, as many as they did against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5, Joe Burrow isn’t concerned about the offense.
“We scored over 30 and we lost. Now we’ve won two in a row. So, no, I’m not concerned,” Burrow said, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.
The Bengals are 3-4 through seven weeks of the season and have had offensive struggles at some points, but what they have done the past two weeks has been enough to get wins.
However, the run game has to be concerning on some level. The team is tied for 28th in the league in rushing yards per game with just 94.3 so far. Some of that surely has to do with the offensive line injuries, but losing Joe Mixon over the offseason has obviously hurt that aspect of the unit.
Burrow has the ability to make up for that lack of rushing with his arm, but at some point, the run game will have to be addressed.
Perhaps Burrow will end up being right and the offense will be alright moving forward, but there are some things that could be cause for concern.
