Bengals' Struggles in Close Games Highlight Need for Improvement

Why it matters: The Cincinnati Bengals' inability to finish games and secure victories has become a recurring theme this season, impacting their overall record and playoff aspirations.

The Bengals have suffered six one-possession defeats out of their seven losses, equaling the Jacksonville Jaguars for the worst winning percentage (.143) in such games in the league.

By the numbers:

In their recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Bengals staged an impressive comeback after trailing 27-6.
However, missed field goals and a late touchdown by the Chargers ultimately sealed their fate.
Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a standout performance with two touchdowns and 75 receiving yards in the game.
Chase has consistently performed well in Bengals losses, averaging 114.4 receiving yards per game and tallying 10 total touchdowns.

Yes, but: Despite individual efforts like Chase's, the team's struggles to secure victories overshadow individual performances.

Quarterback Joe Burrow's stellar performance with 356 passing yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions couldn't compensate for the team's shortcomings.

What to watch: The Bengals' ability to close out games will be crucial in determining their success moving forward.

Consistency in executing key plays and making critical decisions during high-pressure situations is essential for their progress.

The bottom line: The Bengals must address their issues in finishing games to elevate their chances of securing victories and improving their overall record.

Head coach Zac Taylor expressed frustration with the team's close losses, emphasizing the need for improvement.

Our thought bubble: It is clear that the Bengals have the talent and potential to compete but have fallen short when it matters most.

The team must collectively focus on closing out games and capitalizing on opportunities to turn close defeats into wins.

What's next: The Bengals have an opportunity to learn from their experiences and make the necessary adjustments as they continue to develop.

They will look to apply these lessons in their upcoming games and strive for a more favorable outcome.
