Run the ball and clock, win 30 to 6.. Be overly pass happy and come an eye lash close to losing.
The Bengals are one of the worst running teams in the NFL. They are elite at passing. They tried running the ball in the 2nd half, passing only 16 times, and they failed miserably at running the ball. They averaged 3.0 yards per carry in the New England game. They failed consistently in short-yardage situations running. Burrow is elite. Taking the ball out of his hands and putting the game in the hands of the Bengals running backs is not a winning formula for this team. Our passing strengths outweigh every team we face. The Bengals running game is stopped by virtually every team we face. They are 5th from the bottom in yards per carry. Teams are delighted when the Bengals run the ball.
