I get your point…

…but maybe if I explain further it might help. Zac Taylor is MUCH better at being aggressive early on in the game than he was in the past. Winning by a lot isn’t a strategy; it’s the result of good strategy. Think of the games where the game plan was wide open and aggressive like the ones against Atlanta, Carolina, and both games against Buffalo. The end result was inevitable.

Against better defenses it’s tougher. AFC North battles are rarely blowouts with the exception of Cincinnati’s dominance over Baltimore in 2021.
