Eh. Really not a meaningful distinction for Pop.
Once our WRs all went down the Bengals were playing single high and targeting the running game. And they're a team that defends the run very well.
It just wasn't a good matchup to run the ball against. I don't think there's much more to it than that.

I'm really surprised that the distribution of under center to shotgun runs was almost even.
Wish it could be further broken down by situation. Because we likely go under center more in short yardage situation where the defense is playing the run closer so even though the ypc is almost even, it would show more effective blocking and running in those times.
