CINCINNATI — The Bengals lost to the New England Patriots in Week 1, but their offensive line was solid.

The unit finished with a 73.5 overall pass blocking grade according to Pro Football Focus. Orlando Brown Jr. led the way with an 80.1 pass blocking grade. Ted Karras (78.4) and Cordell Volson (76.0) weren't far behind.

Alex Cappa received a 66.8 pass blocking grade from PFF and Trent Brown posted a 48.8 grade.

Overall, the unit kept Burrow upright. It's realistic to expected Brown to take a step forward this week since he missed most of training camp.
