Right now, defenses don't feel any threat of the Bengals rushing the ball, they just get ready to rush the passer.

They are not scared of a run game that features a RB who is missing holes, not breaking tackles, and hasn't broken a long run (let alone one for a TD) in a long long time.
They fear JB throwing to capable WRs(one of the best when Chase is playing).
Giving the ball more to Mixon(which is what it has been the majority)not only takes the ball out of Burrow's hands but burns the game clock.
That is exactly what an opposing D wants to do against our offense.
