Bengals only called a total of seven runs the entire second half compared to 17 passes.

Andy Dalton had a 120 passer rating in the first half of that game (12-17, 164 yds, 1 td, 0 int) while Bernard and Green-Ellis had just 53 rushing yards.
In the 2nd half we came out and ran the ball on 5 of our first 6 first downs but gained 3 yards or fewer 4 of those 5 times.
If we had kept running the ball with those results in the second half you guys would have been complaining about how we "got away from the pass that was working so well in the first half".
