Pace?

But the Bengals will be kicking off another game about 100 hours after the Sunday game.  And opening day is usually pretty hot weather.  So should the Bengals play a slow pace and run the clock to shorten the game in order to save their legs for Thursday night?

Nightmare scenario is an overtime game Sunday.

Well, we all know Burrow thrives in an up-tempo Offense, but this is a great question. I think because of the way Mixon runs on 
the Stains we should go more up-tempo in Burrow's first start against a good Defense and rely more on the running game against
the Stains the more I think about it.
