The Bengals’ offense last season was dangerously one-dimensional, relying on the pass for 75% of their touchdowns—by far the league’s most pass-heavy approach. With only 11 rushing touchdowns (the second-lowest in the NFL), they exposed themselves to defensive schemes that could shut down the run. Even after Joe Burrow’s injury and Joe Flacco’s start, the passing game remained the engine, thanks to elite receivers like JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins. But the solution is clear: unleash Chase Brown, who already proved he can carry the load with over 1,000 rushing yards and 6 TDs last year. A modest uptick in rushing touchdowns could disrupt defenses, open up play-action, and give Burrow more breathing room—making the offense more balanced, sustainable, and dangerous.
