The winning formula for the Broncos has been a run-heavy scheme, but that might difficult as the Bengals are ranked 9th in the NFL in yards per rush. However, teams haven’t rushed against them as much as they rank 5th fewest rushing attempts. Their pass defense is a little more suspect ranking in the bottom half of the league in yards per attempt.

That means we could see Pat Shurmur stray from the run game believing his scheme will have success throwing the ball. Personally, I think that line of thinking will lead to another defeat and I am worried that line of thinking is what we’re going to get on Sunday. We’ll just have to see if I’m right there, but I sure hope not as Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon have developed into a very dangerous duo.
