Before the Bengals packed their bags for London three weeks ago, they had just ran for 33 yards against the Jaguars. It was the second straight game that the offense ran for that exact yardage, and their rushing offense was at what seemed to be an all-time low.
Cincinnati obviously lost that game against Jacksonville and lost again to Los Angeles in London, but that contest overseas featured a slight revival in the ground attack. Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard ran for 97 yards on a combined 20 carries and while the rest of the team entered the bye week on a low note, at least the running backs had some positive momentum going for them.
