You have to consider how much the league changed between '73 and '88.
In '88 the Bengals rushed for 169.4 yards per game and ranked number one in the league. In '73 when Johnson and Clark had their big year the number one rushing team in the league gained 220.6 yards per game, and five teams averaged over 170 per game. The Bengals only ranked 7th.
