It really comes down to run blocking and run defense/tackling.
Can the offensive line open up lanes consistently for Joe Mixon? That will keep the down & distance manageable and open up thr playbook for the offense.
Can the defense stop the run/tackle and create pass rush situations? If thr defense can limit yards by stopping the run and tackling they will create larger down & distance for opposing offenses. That will lead to more pass rush situations and more chances to create turnovers.
Of course that's an all year thing not just game one.
