Excluding game 17 against the Browns when the second team was in, the last 5 games the Bengals averaged 86.4 yards rushing a game. Against Chargers 96 yards 3.8 average, 49rs 86 yards 3.3 yards average, Broncos 113 yards 4.3 yards average, Ravens 77 yards 3.7 average, and Chiefs 60 yards 3.2 average.
Yesterday against the Raiders 83 yards rushing with Mixon gaining 48 of them.
I don't know but I'd like to see more from the run game. Of course the air game is hard to defend given the top notch receiving team but IMO as the Bengals progress through the playoffs the running game needs to improve.
P.S. I may or may not still be celebrating the playoff win and thus not thinking straight. :)
Well of course the running game needs to improve. Mixon wasn't 100% though against the Raiders and they didn't want
to get ran on the way they were the first time we played them. We need to take what the Defense gives us and they did
that and that is the important thing. With the Titans they might be more intent on stopping Burrow after the way he is
playing lately which might open up the running game.
Just hoping Mixon is alright. I do like Perine and Evans though in case and Traveon actually has started looking okay for
once in the last couple weeks.
Need better play from the OL for us to improve in the running game. Pollack needs to be on their ass, I am sure he is.
