It made zero sense to me.
There was the "Well, that just isn't who they are" responses to my questions of why the Bengals didn't attack the Browns via the run, but a week later, lo and behold, voila!
Note: The Chargers were a horrible run team when they walked on to the First Energy field too. I believe they ran for just under a million yards vs the Browns that day.
The Bengals have played a role allowing Myles Garrett to take over games against them either putting someone on an island or falling behind against us early and to his credit he’s abused anyone over him as well. That’s where they can start with the Question “why can’t we beat the Browns?” They were down by 3 plus scores for half the game. Getting 5/6 yards with Mixon on the ground while great on most occasions it wasn’t a viable solution at the time not when it takes 4/5 minutes to score and Nick Chubb counters you with 5/6 yard runs of own and burns clock.The Bengals gave Mixon quasi running plays. He had what 7/8 catches on the perimeter (just like a carry) If they commit to blocking Garrett I think that’s a pretty sound strategy against us. Had we tackled well in space prior to that game? Wasnt JOK out?
The Chargers rolled into First Energy with one of their top targets out and a QB playing with bad ribs and they weren’t down by 25 in 3rd quarter.

The Chargers, I believe, were down 14-0 at one point.
And the absolute weak spot of the Browns defense is its interior DLine. Swing passed on the perimeter to Mixon accomplishes nothing against that.
The Bengals had zero interest in attacking the interior of the Browns DLine from the first snap. It was 8-0 until the very end of the first half.

Kamara over 42 Rec yardsBaltimore over 1.5 FGs (this feels like stealing)
Sleeper: Justice Hill over 26 rush yards. Dobbins and Edwards are out.
