I think given what we know right now, it is safe to assume we probably aren't going to get much from that side of the offense. Maybe it is better said to not expect anything from that side of the offense but the point is all still the same. You can see the Bengals running game broken down in this chart...



It has performed pretty consistently all season, and that consistency hasn’t been positive. Cincinnati is going to do their damage through the air, not the ground. If the running game gets going, then that is wonderful but it shouldn't be relied on.

Thanks for the graph and info. It's really cool that you track this so I appreciate it.   I guess what I'm saying is this would be a great time for the run game to pick up a bit.   When an opponent has to account for the run it opens up the pass even more.  So I hope next week run blocking improves and Mixon lights it up.
