That would be good for 31st in the league. It was an absolutely awful day running the ball, no matter how you spin it. 

LOL.Sure, it's very low standards if you just want to look at it being black and white but I would hope you would understand with all of your posts that each game warrants usage of various assets to win that game. 5 of the top 10 leading rushing teams in the NFL in 2022 are sub. 500 in record and the top 3 teams all have running QB's that damn near lead their team in rushing and can go for 70 yards any play.You want Cinci. to resort to running the ball when we know it's a weakness to become another sub .500 team? Would you like to be the Browns with their great running attack that also comes with a 3-7 record?

2 other teams in Philly and Buffalo that are in the top 10 have running QB's that gets damn near get 50-60 ypg. themselves. You see where this is going? Cinci. is resorted to using the short pass as their running game the same way NE did for several years. Again, the Bengals ran 7x out of 17 for 4 yards or more with 2-3 that were conversions into 1st downs. Would I like to see more balance? Absolutely,but give me effective running over being a top 10 team if it's taking the ball out of JB's hands and the top receiving team in football.
