Exactly this. And also, it was clear the Bengals came out first half to defend the run... good idea, and they did a good job not letting the Ravens run all over them first half.
But as John Harbaugh himself told us all at half time... we were giving them run defence looks, and that meant they had big play opportunities in the pass, which they just needed to take advantage of. They then did so for an entire half of football.
We'll give up 0 yards rushing to Barry Sanders if we defend the pass as well as we did on Sunday. I do think the D Line was better with BJ Hill back in there though.
