Cincinnati Bengals vs Miami Dolphins Game Preview
Cincinnati brings an elite pass rush (94th pctl sack rate generated) to Hard Rock Stadium, facing a Miami offensive line that ranks 6th in sack rate allowed, among the worst protection marks in the NFL. Miami's offense has been largely ineffective across most categories: 3rd percentile in early down success, 3rd in points per drive, and 3rd in redzone touchdown rate. Cincinnati has been considerably more efficient, converting third downs at the 81st percentile and sitting 62nd in early down success.
Miami's defense generates sacks at only the 14th percentile against a Cincinnati offensive line ranked 56th in protection, a 42-point gap in the Bengals' favor. The defensive pressure asymmetry is the defining structural feature of this matchup, with Cincinnati holding a clear edge both in applying pressure and withstanding it.
