It's great that they won.  But if you can win with so little talent against a clearly superior opponent then what exactly was going on earlier in the year?

Simple, they didn't establish the run and the defense played absolutely terrible.

It's going to be a balance with a talent like Burrow but you have to stick to the run in the NFL.  But to do that you need good defensive play because you will have 3 and outs.  Early in the season the Bengals didn't get that so they were behind in most games (Indy being the exception).  ZT way too pass happy with Burrow back there.  Had no choice to do otherwise with Finley.
