In 2019 the Stealers had zero running game when they played the Bengals.  They ran all over us with the exact same players because their coaches designed new running plays that we were not prepared for and our defensive coaches could not adjust to.

And you can't blame the players when coaches are so predictable that the opponent knows exactly what is coming.

The Steelers were just doing the same thing almost every other team were doing against the Bsngals defense in 2019. They attacked the edges because the linebackers and both outside corners were struggling against the run.
