The Ravens are one of the best teams in the league vs. the run. Everybody including my Grandma knew from the Bengals set and history ZT and Co. were going to run the ball 3 gain 6 yards and kick. Except we only gained 2

The Ravens are one of the worst teams in the league vs. the pass. We had put up nearly 400 yards and 5 TD's Why go way from our strength and their weakness with kinda/sorta the season on the line?

I'm generally not a ZT basher but this was a giant fail. You can't go all conservative vs. the good teams and expect to win.

The Bengals, I believe, were not overly concerned about getting a first down.
They were mainly focused on positioning for the FG and not turning the ball over.
They were already at McPherson's distance.
