It's the little things though. On the big Mixon screen pass everyone will mention how well he ran in thr open field but you won't hear about the chip on the free running defender that bought Andy the precious half second for him to get it to Mixon. Truth I haven't seen a Bengals RB chip like that since Brian Leonard.
Kind of easier to bully an 0-10 team than an 8-2 one I suppose.
So while the Browns run defense is better, the Bengals pushed them around. You know mindset and organizational culture are probably the biggest things we have working against us.
I mean the talent over the Marvin era hasn't been that far off from the Steelers a lot of years to the extent that they'd win most games against us. It's all attitude and mindset.
