Also, remember this is not a run first team, and that is going to affect rush totals. The way you get consistently good YPC is to run a lot and wear down a defense then pick up the yards later in the game. We don't tend to do that but rather use short passes a lot like runs in many situations.

You're wrong, but in a good way. You're including Burrows scrambles and the WR end arounds in that 4.25 number. Since week five, Cincinnati has averaged 4.58 yards per carry when they hand off to one of their backs. Now, the Carolina game is a major outlier and is really boosting those numbers up. Outside of the Carolina game, Cincinnati is averaging 4.14 yards per carry which is a much more indicative number of Cincinnati's abilities.
