Cincinnati is dead last in red zone conversions at 30.77 percent.

That is a relevant stat. They miss Eifert, who led all tight ends with 11 red zone TD last year.

The key for our defense will be not allowing big plays. The Bengals already have 21 plays that gained 20+ yards, 2nd only to the Falcons through four games.

JG said in a recent presser they are preparing for the "sunspots", but he said they always do ? lol
Just dont call pass route in those areas.
