The Cincinnati Bengals have a chance to go on an impressive streak against the Chargers D.

CINCINNATI – Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase are playing at All-Pro levels but humming Cincinnati Bengals The offense will face its biggest challenge on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.

Jim Harbaugh transformed the Chargers into the best defensive team in the league in his first season as head coach.

Not only do the Chargers lead the league in scoring defense, they also have an impressive hitting streak; If this streak continues Sunday against the Bengals, it would be the longest streak in the league in three decades.

Los Angeles’ defense has not allowed a team to score more than 20 points in all nine games this year.

If we go back to the end of 2023, the winning streak reached 11 matches.

Next longest active streak is not allowing more than 20 home runs?

Two (by Cardinals, Vikings and Patriots).

If the Chargers can hold the Bengals to 20 points or fewer on Sunday night, they will have a 12-game streak, which would be the 11th-longest winning streak since the merger in 1970.

And it would be the longest game in the league since the Browns went 12 straight games in 1994-95.

This would also make the Chargers the first team since the 1990 Giants to hold their opponents to 20 points or fewer through the first 10 games of the season.

Whatever parameter you choose, this is an elite run, especially considering Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter are in their first seasons with the team.

If you’re wondering about the longest steak in Bengals history with no more than 20 allowed, it’s eight.

It was first established in 1970-71 and later paired in 2012.
