I know 'statistically' the Steelers were worse against the pass, but the Bengals were doing very well with the run.
Before that final drive where they ran Hill 3 times, Hill ran 12 times for 60 yards, a 5 YPC average, and Gio ran once for 12 yards.
That's 13 runs for 72 yards, that's 5.5 YPC.
Even throw in those last 3 runs and Hill still had a 4 YPC average.
This team has a habit of abandoning the running game. It just didn't bite us in the ass this time.
