CINCINNATI — The Bengals are 0-3 this season, but the offense has been picking up steam over the last two weeks,and running the ball well all season. TWSN's Evan McPhillips noted this week that Chase Brown is in the top five of multiple rushing categories among qualified players, including yards per attempts (7.4) and more.

The Bengals' latest offensive line mixture has been effective, and they've lost no efficiency without a bell cow like Joe Mixon to take the brunt of the carries. 

Cincinnati shouldn't (and won't) be a run-heavy team (58 attempts this season, 31st in the NFL), but rushing impact has been missing in recent years, and adding a little more rushing could be a sneaky factor in turning this 0-3 ship back in the direction of "Playoff Island."

#Bengals RB Chase Brown through three weeks:

🔸T-1st* in Yards Per Attempt (7.4)
🔸2nd in PFF Rushing Grade (87.4)
🔸2nd in Yards After Contact/Att (4.71)
🔸9th in elusive rating (99.2)

*Among 54 RBs with >13 carries https://t.co/kQmi6ALoEV
