In 2022 the Bengals were one of the most efficient rushing teams.

During Joe Burrow's pre-season drive this year the Bengals had the balls to go empty for a play. That should tell you exactly who they are as an offense lol.

Yep.

Look at the Chiefs, who have been overall the best team in the past 4-5 years:

2023 rushing:
25th in attempts
19th in yards

2022 rushing:
25th in attempts
20th in yards

2021 rushing:
20th in attempts
16th in yards

2020 rushing:
23rd in attempts
16th in yards

2019 rushing:
27th in attempts
23rd in yards

Won 3 out of 5 Super Bowls, played in 4.

They aren't sitting there focusing on running a lot more. They know their strength is the passing game, and they're finding ways to make their rushing attack efficient and productive from a YPA perspective. That's what the Bengals need to figure out if anything.
