Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati outgained Jacksonville in a loss and was outgained by Houston in a win. Total yards alone do not explain either outcome.

A third-down conversion extended a touchdown drive after Houston missed a field goal; two conversions extended another after Cincinnati recovered a Tampa Bay fumble.

Against Tampa Bay, Cincinnati scored 14 first-quarter points off consecutive fumbles and later added a field goal after another fumble and a third-down conversion.

Cincinnati's 202-yard net passing advantage outweighed its 88-yard rushing deficit in total yardage, although Jacksonville won.

Cincinnati gained 88 fewer rushing yards than Jacksonville and 55 fewer than Pittsburgh in the reviewed games.

Against Houston, two false starts and a sack changed second-and-10 to third-and-26 on a Cincinnati possession that ended in a punt.
