The Bengals have overcome injuries to several of their key players and are pushing for the playoffs. Their most recent victory came against the Minnesota Vikings in overtime.
The offensive line for the Bengals is still working hard. With grades in the 80s for four of the five linemen, the team as a whole scored 78.89, their third-highest of the season.
They also produced a collectively top five performance in pass protection.
They did it against the 11th best defense in the league (per PFF). The Bengals offensive line also graded out with a top 10 group grade for run blocking against the eighth best run defense.
The biggest weakness of the group this week was Ted Karras. However, the Vikings’ defense prioritizes making opponents’ centers “wrong.” That showed with Karras being the only member of the unit to not record a top five overall grade as an individual. His Week 15 grade ended up as a bottom five grade for him on the season.
