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.
Very true....that's sort of what I was hinting at....it was a different era, and a much more fast paced offense under Wyche, obviously. They threw it, they ran it, they trick played.....what a damn fun team to watch.
