I wouldn't agree simply due to how poor the Bengals run game is. It hasn't been established because it stinks so the Bengals usually resort to the air to move the ball. Against an offense like the Chiefs, you really put yourself in danger of just falling behind quickly if you try to rely on the run - they are going to score and it is because they have an elite passing game. So does Cincinnati. You have to let Burrow do his thing and attempt to outpace Mahomes.
This doesn't mean completely abandon the run but Cincinnati has been rocking a 68% passing percentage for the playoffs. I would expect that to continue.
