The Bengals generated 41 total pressures, their highest single-game total under Zac Taylor. More importantly, the pressure is coming from waves of defensive linemen rather than relying on one or two players. Dexter Lawrence has already made a massive impact, while Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, Cedric Johnson, Chris Jenkins, and others are creating consistent chaos in the backfield.

That depth is allowing Al Golden to rotate his defensive linemen, keep players fresh, and constantly attack opposing quarterbacks. The result? A Bengals defense that looks dramatically different through two games.

We break down Dexter Lawrence’s impact beyond the box score, including how often opposing offenses are forced to account for him and how that creates opportunities for everyone else. We also discuss Dax Hill, DJ Turner, Demetrius Knight, Chris Jenkins, and the continued development of this young Bengals defense.

But there is one major concern on the other side of the ball: Orlando Brown Jr.

Brown struggled against Houston’s elite defensive front, and the Bengals now have to turn around and face T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is it time to start seriously worrying about Cincinnati’s left tackle situation and Joe Burrow’s protection?

Plus, we discuss Evan McPherson’s impressive start, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, the Bengals’ offensive line, and what Cincinnati needs to fix heading into Week 3 against Pittsburgh.
