Every year is different and can't be predicted, just ask the Rams how difficult it is to follow up a SB run.
That said, I think we will be much improved in the run game with the additions to the OL. That alone should offset the more difficult schedule in 2022. Sure there are 1st place teams on the schedule, but the Bengals are also and should have a much improved run game to compliment the skilled positions in the pass game. Thus Burrow should take less abuse and be even better or at least more comfortable than last year.
I like our chances just as much as anyone.
