I think with a better game plan, ie- shorter, quicker and more efficient routes will ultimately lead to burrow getting rid of the ball faster.
4 yards per play is a first down. We all know the bengals can convert 2nd and 3rd and long… but how good would we feel about 2nd and 6 or 3rd and 3.
Who said it was an excuse? There's a reality here and they went against the 2nd best DL in the NFL in total sacks and QB pressures. And this was going against a Bengals team that hasn't had even a decent rushing attack for half a dozen games or more. Terrible recipe.
You ain't going to plug anybody in there to solve the issues. Maybe they'll be better against KC but this is entirely on the coaches and type of game plan they present to keep KC more on their heels.
