At 3-5, we are probably where we expect to be. With that said, Cincinnati stands at 4-4 and the Steelers at 4-3 so we are still in the division race. The offense is sitting 17th in yards and 21st in points. Weeden is completing 66% of his passes but only has 7 TD's to go with 8 INT's. Both Bess and Gordon are on pace for 80 catches and over 800 yards but beyond that, our receivers and RB's have given us very little.
The defense meanwhile has been stellar and stand at 2nd in yards against. That comes with three of our best players missing significant action, as Phil Taylor and Jabal Sheard have each missed 5 games while Haden missed the first four of the season. However, thanks to our 4 defensive TD's allowed and our -4 turnover ratio, our D is sitting at 25th in points allowed.
If we can stay healthy and our offensive can limit the turnovers, we still have a shot at 8-8 and a playoff spot in the weak NFC North.
