Only 50 offensive plays

I'm thinking the Bengals defense played cover zero (or some version of it) most of the game which lets them have that first 5-9 yards, but prevents them from being able to go deep at any point except for that one blown play with Ebron.  Cover zero really does rely on the defenses ability to close in quick to make the tackles to keep the offense from being able to score on intermediate to deep passes. Apparently it worked out to perfection and we won da game .  Dink and dunk can work, but you really need a decent running game to offset it and Indy had no real run game to speak of.  Baltimore is going to pose different challenges and they're going to have some kind of running game to contend with..
