Hendrickson tied for 3rd among individual players (7.0). Most in league is 8.0 - Danielle Hunter and TJ Watt.

Bengals did well from a run defense perspective against ARZ and LAR, but they've allowed a lot of rushing yards against the other 4 teams.

If the Bengals can get their run defense going like we're used to and/or getting some more pass rush from others not named Hendrickson, Hubbard, and Hill, that should help a ton.

I think that is what a lot of us were so disappointed by vs the run - this has been a D that tackled well and stopped the run and all of a sudden they did neither. And the strangest part was they were not getting blown off the line, it was contain issues and not defending the backside of the play correctly which was causing us to get destroyed by cutbacks and deception plays. 

The funny thing about Trey is he also has 3 sacks wiped by flags. So we play cleaner he has 10 already.
