Let's talk about the Bengals [and Hamburger Helper]

[smithandrew051]

I’ve seen a lot of posts about how the Bengals run the ball well. Can someone explain this to me?

Rushing Yards: 1,603 (11th worst in the league)
Yards Per Carry: 4.0 (T 6th worst in the league)
20+ Yard Runs: 8
40+ Yard Runs: 1
Longest Run: 46 Yards
Rushing First Downs: 85 (10th worst in the league)

Mixon is fine, but his stats are nothing all that special either. He’s only been over 4.5 yards per carry 5 times this season. He’s also been held under 4 yards per carry in each of their last 4 games. He’s had 3 really good games running the ball this year (Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Minnesota). Steelers have allowed the most rushing yards this year, Vikings have allowed the 5th most, and Raiders have allowed the 14th most. They also played the Raiders right after we ruined them, so they likely didn’t even see the best version of the Raiders.

His other performances have been pretty meh.

Sure seems like they have a bottom 3rd rushing offense. I don’t see a stat that says otherwise.
