Only 4% of variance in victories can be attributed to running. Play-action passing success also has no relationship with how well you can run the ball. That drive was a perfect example. The Bengals aren't running the ball well today, but the PA still works. It always will work.
It worked because we were effective on successive plays and they had honored that it could happen again.
