The Cincinnati Bengals, in 2015, proved to everyone how important it was to find a balance early in games. However, Hue Jackson is now in Cleveland and Ken Zampese will have to move away from just being a quarterback’s best friend to managing the whole offense.
In 2015, the Cincinnati Bengals were 9-1 when rushing for 100 yards or more and only 3-3 when rushing for under 100 yards. The one loss last season when they Bengals did rush over 100 yards was against the Denver Broncos, with A.J. McCarron under center, in addition to most of the yards being gained in the first half for 17 points.
