Bengals' Defense Brings QB Rushing Strength Into Matchup Against Buffalo
CINCINNATI — The Bengals defense has one distinct trend rolling the right way heading into Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills.
Since Week 11, Buffalo ranks third leaguewide in rushing EPA. They are one of the most efficient ground teams in the NFL largely due to Josh Allen's 6.5 yards per carry.
Well funny enough, the Bengals own one of the league's best quarterback rushing defenses. DJ Reader & Co. allow the fewest QB carries per game (3) and fifth-fewest rushing yards (12.9).
That's a huge factor to watch as Cincinnati tries to contain the fourth-leading quarterback in rushing yards this season. An early-return from Sam Hubbard would boost that matchup even more.
Cincinnati and Buffalo meet on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET. The game airs on ESPN and is available on fuboTV—start your free trial here.
