The Cincinnati Bengals took a little while to really wake up after their bye week, but they eventually pulled away from the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
This week the snap counts tell a pretty clear story as to why this team was successful. The question becomes how repeatable this formula for a win really is.
Bengals wore down Raiders
The Bengals ran 74 plays compared to the Raiders 47. That is a staggering difference. How did that happen? Pretty simply, Cincinnati converted eight of their 16 third downs while Las Vegas only converted one of their seven.
