They ran Gio three more times in that half.
They ran 7 times compared to throwing the ball 18 times. 19 if you want to include Dalton's scramble.
When the Bengals got the ball at the Giants 7 yard line, they didn't even run it once.
The other time they got in the 10 yard line? Ran it twice for a TD.
You CANNOT abandon the run.
We are ranked 10th in the league with running the ball. Were ranked 7th before this week. Not sure why people act like we can't run the ball. We rank 12th in YPC and 8th in TDs.
I would be very interested to see how the numbers break down. Getting 4-5 yards almost every time we rush the ball is one thing, but getting 1-2 yards per carry and then having 1 run for 50 will really skew the numbers.
It seems like every time we try to run the ball on short yardage, we get nowhere.
