You can say bad things about the Chiefs' running game too.
Only 20 attempts (27th in league after Week 1), 72 rush yards (also 27th in league), and 3.6 YPC (25th in league).
Their passing game, which has always been their strength, carried them.
I don't frequent Chiefs boards, but are fans clamoring for them to completely change their identity and become a balanced or even run-heavy offense?
I would think not.
As such, I don't think it's realistic to expect the Bengals to do that either.
Bengals are a pass-heavy team and we should expect the pass to set up the run.
Bengals ended up with 4.4 YPC, which is 14th in the league. Being middle of the pack from an efficiency standpoint would be a marked improvement compared to previous years.
Why would they be? They just won 2 SB's in a row, are going for number 3 to make NFL history and they just beat the Ravens in their home opener. lol.
