Once we proved we could beat that and ran the ball better we struggled. The key to this offense is the run game. If it’s decent we are tough to defend.
The key to this offense has always been and will be the playing of Burrow and the receivers. The Bengals have sparsely been successful running the ball this year and are still a a top five-ish offense in the league. Burrow has a higher passer rating when the run game isn't working well than vice versa because he is able to carry it alone.
Whether the run game works or not, Cincinnati is a really tough team to defend.
