Crowd the box
Cincinnati will be without Joe Burrow in this contest but they’ll also be missing their top running back, Joe Mixon. Mixon is a tremendous threat out of the backfield and Cincinnati will look to replace his production with veteran Giovanni Bernard. The Dolphins should look to crowd the box to ensure that there isn’t a lot of room to run and if Bernard is getting the ball in check downs underneath, there should be plenty of traffic that prevents him from creating big gains. Dare the Bengals to beat you over the top.
