The Joe Mixon-less Cincinnati Bengals have resurrected their rushing attack. Cincinnati went into Week 15 having the 29th ranked rushing offense in the NFL averaging 92.3 yards per game.

“I just think it's really just the guys upfront buying in and trusting us backs and opening up holes and all we have to do is hit them,” Bengals running back Samaje Perine said. “We've got to hit them full speed and we've got to hit them recklessly and I think that's what we've been doing these last two weeks and it's been paying off.
