The surprise is how terrible the Bengals were at running the ball against one of the worst run defenses in the league, but part of that is attributed to Hopkins and Reiff being out, I guess.
Mixon averaged 2.84 YPC.
I think the injuries to our oline were our biggest issue. I'm not suprised the Chargers scored I was already worried/curious how we would handle they're down field passing attack. I think the defense played respectable considering I think they were a little out of sorts for awhile after Wilson got hurt. But saying that the LB depth in my opinion was sketchy from the start of the season. I know Lou only uses 2 LBs but with injuries we've already had at the position why is Wilson playing special teams. I know a lot happened and you can't put it all on Zac but you have to have the team ready to play and his own botched play call deliveries were ridiculous.
I did hear the halftime situation was the fact he was concerned the Chargers could get the ball if we didn't use the time and failed to convert on a hail mary. Which seems a little ridiculous as there was only a few secs left. Not that I think it would've worked although Tee has been just out jumping people.
