Look: Alex Cappa Takes Home Negative Pass Protection Triple Crown Following 2024 Season

Cincinnati had arguably the worst pass protection from its guards out of any NFL team this past campaign.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals have promising talents at offensive tackle protecting Joe Burrow, but the guard play needs serious fixing this offseason. Alex Cappa's season-long numbers are the perfect encapsulation of that interior pressure Burrow faced across 17 games.

Ja'Marr Chase wasn't the only Triple-Crown winner from this past season. According to PFF, Cappa led in all three of his major protection categories in the other direction, finishing last among all NFL guards in pressures (51), hurries (36), and sacks allowed (eight, tied with Houston's Shaq Mason).

Volson wasn't much better than Cappa, he actually ranked second in total pressures allowed among guards (43) and gave up six sacks (t-third worst). Both spots are worthy of upgrades in 2025.

Incredibly rough seasons from the #Bengals guards.

I’ll always appreciate Cappa for being a solid guard for start his Bengals career, and i’ll always appreciate Cordell’s durability, but there NEEDS to be a huge jump in quality soon for Burrows sake#WhoDey #RuleTheJungle pic.twitter.com/C6r67R4Lwi
