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.
