As the season progressed you could see JB getting more and more comfortable.  That, couple with receiver talent became the recipe for the teams success.  Aggressive play calling with again a pass first mentality.  Now they are a match up nightmare for most teams.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Mixon break off a couple long runs in the playoffs due to how teams will have to play the Bengal receivers.  Should be fun to watch.  Hopefully they have hit their stride at the perfect time.  

Such a good point.....and then, this season, when he decided to stick with the run and kinda sorta put Burrow on a pitch count, those SAME fans crucified him for being a "coward".
