Good Day Bengals fans!

Let's talk about what your team has accomplished so far this season.

First we are going to start with the offense.

Leader Andy Dalton:

Andy Dalton has had an average year in terms of performance let's take a look at some of his key games:

Week 1 versus the Vikings Andy managed the game by going 16 of 25 for 216 and 1 TD.

Andy took his time in the pocket and made precise throws to his key receivers. Which led to a win for the team and didn't start the year off with turnovers.

Weeks 5 & 6 were some decent games from Andy, but of course his turnover woes transferred over from last season. In week 5 Andy was 21 of 29 for 236 yards with 3 TDs, but again his turnovers was the Achilles hill of the team which led to a loss and in week 6 was 26 of 39 for 313 yards with 1 TD, but again there was the 1 TD which help determine the outcome of this game.

At this point Andy is 8th in the league for yards with 1.942 with a 64% completion rating, his QBR is 23rd in the league for 86.5. Andy is also 6th in the league with 12 TDs.

Now let's talk about the other star or can we say superstar A.J. Green

A.J. Green started off slow this season, but picked up the pace especially in week 7 where he caught 10 catches for 152 yards with 1 TD unfortunately that didn't end up with a win, but A.J had a great follow-up performance. A.J had 9 catches for 122 yards with 1 TD and so far A.J is having a MVP type of year where he is paced to go over 100 receptions this year. A.J. currently lead the league with receptions, 4th in reception yards with 699, and 5th in TDs with 5.

Now let's get to the dynamic TE Tyler Eifert who has been player great in the past games himself

Behind A.J. Green, Eifert has been holding his own and with is position of being 5th among TE's for receptions (35). Eifert has been a huge part of the offense and Andy Dalton's success so far this year. Eifert should be among with others to make the Pro Bowl this year if he keeps up this performance.

Running Game:

The running game has been a lost art this year with the emergence of this passing attack. So far Giovani Bernard is leading the team with 321 yards and only 1 TD. Behind Bernard is Hill with 163 yards and 2 TDs. The Bengals are looking to run the ball more as the season comes along in order to be competitive and push towards the playoffs.

Also we can't forget about the big guys this season Andy Dalton has only been sacked 12 times which is not bad for loosing some key pieces last year.

Now that we got the Offense out of the way lets focus on your defense.

The defense is lead by multi-Pro Bowl attendee Geno Atkins which is led by a vicious defensive line. The defense has struggled in the pass game, but has managed to still get sacks on the opponents (21) and forcing 5 fumbles. In-spite of the secondary's struggles these guys managed 9 intercepts. The Bengals were looking forward to the return of rookie Jonathan Allen and so far he having a slow start, but this team is looking forward to what he will bring to this team later this season.

Some player we would like to spotlight:

George Iloka has been an anchor on the secondary portion of the defense. Iloka is currently leading the team in tackles and is looking forward to doing more big things.

Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap has combined for 13.5 sacks on the QB. This tandem is a QB's nightmare and they bring it every down.

The current records doesn't reflect the talent which is on this team, but will be looking for more opportunities to excel is the great league "PX1 League"

Good Night folks :psbutton:
