The Cincinnati Bengals impressive run game with running backs Cedric Benson and Bernard Scott has been what’s worked for them this year, so they’re going to have to try and stick to that. If they can accomplish this they may have the advantage and ultimately eliminate a playoff team and advance past the 1st round for the 1st time in just over 20 years.
