Does that say more about the Bengals or Bills though?
Because the Bengals OL was terrible in all aspects against the Ravens.
Burrow was hit 8 times, sacked 4 times.
Mixon had 11 carries for 39 yards. Perine had 2 carries for 3 yards. Burrow ran 5 times for 9 yards. As a team, they averaged 2.8 yards per carry with a long run of 11 yards (that 11 yard run accounted for 20% of their rushing yards on the day).
The Bengals OL performance against the Bills reminded me a lot of when the Chiefs gashed them with CEH and a line of Fisher, Allegretti, Kilgore, Wylie, and Remmers. That turned out to be absolute fools gold though.
I understand why everyone would want to look at the most recent game, but expanding the sample size tells a different story about the Bengals OL.

The Bengals lost RT Collins week 16. They lost RG Cappa week 18. They lost LT Williams in the wildcard round.
If you want to see how the Bengals coaching staff puts together an offensive game plan down those three guys, there's only one game to look at. Against the Bills, they saw success running the ball and with quick throws.
I'm not saying they're an elite run-blocking unit. They're just more comfortable there. The Bills rushed 19 times for 63 yards (3.3 yards/carry) while the Bengals ran for 172 yards on 34 attempts (5.1 yards/carry).
