IMO if he had played he would of made a difference. Maybe not enough to win, but I think he would of made running up the gut less of an option.
Had the Bengals taken care of business early on and gotten a lead it would have probably taken the stains out of their game plan. Bengals defended the run nicely for the 1st half as they held them to 50 yards. Reader doesn't play on the OL, though, and that killed this team the entire game.
When you continually go 3 and out your D is on the field way too long and Chubb is eventually going to hit some big yards which means you now have to commit another defender in the box.
