point differential

I keep harping on the run game ineffectiveness, both on offense and defense. Being able to run the ball and stop the run (they are struggling big time at both right now) on a much more consistent basis will change a lot of things, including the outcomes of some of these close games. Former Bengals coach Jonathan Hayes said it perfectly:

“If you can’t stop the run, and you can’t run the ball, you’re not going to have a lot of success in this league."
