The best probability for success is going to be the pass with this offense. That’s really my main point. Especially with Cincinnati this season. The Bengals run game stinks, to be quite frank. It’s a bottom 10-12 rush offense by most metrics.

Different opponents/weather/etc dictate different strategies at different times throughout the season. Sometimes you gotta do what you do worst in order to win. Getting into 3rd and long would be playing right into the hands of their defense's strength. They're not good against the run.... apparently worst at defending it than we are doing it. Take what they give you. With the way Burrow has been turning it over lately, it was a bit of a welcome change. You can also do many different things on offense when you have a kicker that's highly accurate from 50+. Zac has alluded to that as well.
