The Bengals had oddly been leaning away from the run in this game. While the ground game had proven effective, the Bengals seemed more willing to air it out. This led to some head scratching, and even the announcers wondered why the team wouldn't use the lightning-and-thunder combo of Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill.
Then thunder struck. On 4th & 1, Jeremy Hill rumbled into the end zone on a great 38-yard score.
