Mike Williams just bullied the outside corners and even though the Chargers ran a ton of cover 2 the Bengals just could not run the football like they should have because poor run blocking. Burrow had a 1 or 2 INTs in that game trying to make something happen.
This is a big reason I'm on the run blocking this year its vital to sustaining drives and having a good redzone offense.
Winning jump balls isn't really a sustainable way to win...most times. The Chargers seem to do it pretty regularly. In the same way the Bengals won a lot of 50/50 catches against the Chiefs at home, the Chargers did the same to the Bengals. That was a crazy game the way the tide swung so far, multiple times. The Mixon fumble/TD was the crucial play in that game because the Bengals were pretty solidly in control at that point and things just swung way the other way after that.
