The Bengals are allowing 5.1 YPC on the ground, which is 28th in the league.
They have not defended the run well at all.
And we know Henry is a monster, and Spears is doing well spelling him too.
Titans also have a very good DL, both against the run and pass.
This I think will be a close game, and it will depend on Burrow being able to pass and doing as well as possible slowing down Henry/Spears.
Playing against DeShaun Watson and Lamar Jackson added to the rush yards allowed plus worrying about their scrambling
ability made it harder for the Bengals to focus on stopping their running backs.
DeShaun and Lamar had 99 rush yards against the Bengals.
Less mobile Matthew Stafford had 7 rush yards and the Rams had only 71 rush yards against the Bengals.
Ryan Tannehill has 17 rush yards on the season, so the Bengals won't have to Focus on him as a run threat the way they
had to against Lamar and Deshaun.
This should make it easier to Focus on Henry but Henry is still dangerous.
