Cincinnati’s inability to stop the run plagued the team last year. If the Bengals don’t upgrade their run defense in 2020, they are in for another sub-mediocre season.
The Bengals are scheduled to face running backs Nick Chubb, Leonard Fournette, Mark Ingram, Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley and Ezekiel Elliott. Plus, the best running quarterback since Mike Vick in Lamar Jackson. All seven players rushed for over 1,000 yards this past season. They combined for 8,770 rushing yards in 2019.
