If I were in charge of the Bengals today

I'd have to go back and try to rewatch the game, but from what I remember, the Rams attacked the LOS and focused on rushing the passer a lot.
That prevented deeper passes, allowing the secondary and LBs to come downhill and stifle any short routes quickly.
A hobbled Uzomah and worthless Sample reduced the underneath success that the Bengals could have.

I'm not alone in noting this. NFL Network made the same observation. They even showed the one screen - which worked.
