CINCINNATI -- Of the many aspects that made the Cincinnati Bengals the NFL's worst team in 2019, one stood out the most.
The rush defense.
In a season that featured a league-low two wins, Cincinnati allowed more rushing yards than any team in the NFL. From that moment, the Bengals retooled the defense with a focus on stopping the run.
Two years later, that overhaul’s biggest test will come on Saturday, in the AFC divisional playoff game against the Tennessee Titans, when Cincinnati will be tasked with shutting down one of the most dedicated rushing attacks in the NFL, led by two-time rushing champ Derrick Henry.
