The Bengals have had 11 offensive possessions in winning situations over 6 different games in the final 5 minutes. They have been successful 1 of 11 times in getting points (9% success rate).
On those 11 offensive possessions Joe Burrow is 16 for 35 (45.7% completion rating), 209 passing yards, 2 Touchdowns, 1 Interception.
The Bengals have one missed FG in a game winning situation (Week 5 Baltimore in OT) but did have 3 prior offensive drives to score points in a winning situation that game.
The Bengals offensive failures, poor play calling and miscues at the very end of games have cost them at least 4 games this season that were very winnable and are the difference of them being in a strong wild card spot versus 5-8 and nearly eliminated from the playoffs.
