Here’s one thing that killed us. The Bengals, who have been a bad rushing team except against the Panthers, were able to set up second and short way too easily.

Don’t let 1st and 10 turn into 2nd and 2 on the ground. Stuff that run and force them to beat you through the air. Keep them one dimensional, so the pass rush can pin their ears back and go. Burrow can beat the blitz on occasion, but put him in position to need to keep beating it because he’s in 2nd and 3rd and long situations repeatedly.

I trust Bolton and Gay in this one. Big week for them.
