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.
This, don't abandon the run but rely on what works and that is the passing game. Open it up and force Mahomes to stay in the
pocket and try and open it up. We get an INT or two and convert for a TD or 2 and it puts KC in a tough position with their D.
I think early we need to attack and play really aggressive and try to quiet down the stadium. We get up big on them and it
would really take the wind out of their sails. Need to make sure we execute and not turn the ball over cause KC can score at
anytime with that Offense. I think we can make some stops with how our Defense is playing but they will still score regardless
in their house.
