Run the ball

The Jets must exploit the worst run defense in the NFL this Sunday with a healthy dose of rushing attempts. The Bengals allow 166.3 rushing yards per game and haven’t stopped a team from eclipsing 100 yards on the ground since Week 8 when they allowed 98 yards to the Rams. Bell hasn’t rushed for more than 70 yards this season but will have his best opportunity to hit triple-figures on the ground for the first time in 2019.

New York is mixing in Bilal Powell and Ty Montgomery a little more recently, which should only help them establish the run early against the Bengals. With a good early running game, the Jets should be able to light the Bengals up with the pass down the stretch.
