I wonder how much of an impact this (and the weather) will have on the game?
Is this something to be concerned about?
Goose mentioned this before, but adjusted rushing (excluding qbs) it’s even greater.
Burrow has accounted for 17% of the yards and 38% of the TDs
Patriots qbs have accounted for 6% of the rushing yards and .08% of TDs
Adjusted rushing stats
Patriots 316 - 1,471 - 4.7 - 11
Bengals 284 - 1,159 - 4.1 - 8
This also doesn’t take into account my commentary on a previous post that the bengals should have more opportunity with more focus on the pass.
Also, the Patriots OL is better. Not saying bengals is bad, but patriots are top 5 OL in the league right now.
