Problem is the Bengals do neither thing well this year.  The run game is an after thought.  If Mixon gets 20 carries a game it's on accident.  The defense is living off turn overs otherwise has been less than stellar this year.   If our OL can block and we can run the ball 30 times a game and take some pressure off Browning, we have a chance to be in 6 of 7 games.  I just don't have confidence in either the running game or defense this year.
