Interesting Bengals fact during playoff years in ML era

Why? I need to know what the total rushing yardage was as a team in those years posted to see if even if one doesn't get to 1100, what if the three RB committee got over whatever the total rushing marks were (or were in the range) for those years?

Having said that, I don't think the Bengals are making the playoffs unless the running game gets better because I don't expect Andy to drag a one dimensional offense by himself to the playoffs.

While the Bengals could get to the playoffs by just reaching a certain combined total from all RBs and not having one individual RB with 1100+ total yards from scrimmage, it's just never happened before in the ML era (15 years). Therefore, I think the likelihood of that is very low.
