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.
You have to take into account who we were playing Ochocincos. The Stains with Nick Chubb and the Ravens with Lamar Jackson
are about as good of running teams as there is in the NFL. Us not having any semblance of a passing game against these teams
for 6 quarters also kept our Defense on the field tons and wore us down.
We do well against King Henry. Tyjae Spears was my guy in this last Draft though and he concerns me a bit. But this isn't the
Stains with Nick Chubb or the Ratbirds with Lamar Jackson. We should be able to slow down the run and get after Tannehill in
this one, I just don't like to jinx ourselves before the game. Seems to happen every time we think we should feast on a weakness.
