The Cincinnati Bengals have a run-game problem.
As a team, they have the third least yards on the ground so far this season, and they’re averaging only 3.5 yards per carry. They also haven’t had many explosive running plays. In fact, they’ve only had one carry over 20 yards (22 yards is the longest carry on the season).
There’s another issue. Joe Mixon has carried the ball 84 times out of the team’s 106 rushing attempts. Joe Burrow has 12; the next running back is Trayveon Williams with five. That’s an 81% snap share. If he keeps that up, he’ll be worn out by Week 10.
